Does DP10 Connect to the update server?
I was hoping for an update soon and I've tried "Check for update now" under the Help menu, and I always get "there was an error contacting motu.com". Been this way for days. Only me?

However, if you frequent this site, I'm SURE you'll know when an update is released by the smell of sweaty palms posting furiously... lol

Hairy palms here, but I saw that the front page of the MOTU site got refreshed and I got my hopes up.

As you have the latest version, it may be DP's way of telling you this (and everyone else). It could be that the server is down since there's nothing for it to load.
It would be nice if there was a message telling you that you have the latest and greatest but I've not seen one.

Or the server is down because they're loading the new DP 11, with chunk folders, massive notation capabilities, a new built in smaller that reads ALL formats of every VI every created, and that oft fabled INSTANT HIT plug.
Oh man, this is gonna be good... I can feel it. I can feel it Dave.

"Download Digital Performer Updates" near the bottom of the Help menu does work. It takes you to the DP 10 download page.

Re: Does DP10 Connect to the update server?
Now you’re in 2001 territory. When 2001 came out in 1968, it seemed so very far into the future. When DP 5 came out, DP was the ultimate fantasy land. DP 12, 13, 14... DP 33, that will be the one that changes everything. I’ll probably be long dead by then and good riddance. lol
