Hi friends,
I’ve got 997 DP7 files on a hard drive here connected to an iMac Pro with DP10 installed. These pieces were done from 2003 to 2009 until serious illness intervened. The Mac Pro they were done on died in 2017 but I kept the four drives it housed, sold my home in Ireland, and shipped my life to Thailand.
I’ve been getting back into music, and I managed it using Live and a new all-virtual studio that blows my mind. But DP kept calling me back. But DP10 is not the same sequencer I remember from 2009, and opening each DP7 file has been taking forever as well.
So I tried an experiment - I simply added “.dpdoc” as a file suffix - and now the files open like lightning. Quick revoicing seems to work perfectly. But DP10 is an alien planet for me now that I’ve got used to life on planet Ableton, so I think I’d work a lot quicker just grabbing MIDI files out of DP10 and working with those.
Does anyone see any problems with this? Or have alternative suggestions?
Namaste,
David.
