Digital Performer 6.02 is now shipping. If you own Version 6, you can download the free Version 6.02 updater. This maintenance release includes numerous program enhancements and optimizations, including the new configurable Shortcuts window, the new options for floating the main Control Panel and setting its level of transparency, automatic versus manual note durations in the QuickScribe Editor, more customizable key bindings and many more.

Not seeing the link here. Are you guys just logging into your MOTU acct? Maybe a call is in order. The registration shows correctly.

[Dan Walsh]

The update seems to be workin' fine so far. I have lost my DarkMod though. I assume I can swap out the respective XML files from from 6.01 and that should work? Any advice?

[MIDI Life Crisis]

Could this be Intel only?! I still don't see the download when accessing from my account.

Great!

Me too! Then try the link with the first message in this topic _

Save the files on your GUI if you want to find then !

Well duh! Thanks a bunch, that seems to have worked. I guess the links to the registrations will follow later. I ain't waitin'!

Oh baby! It's Christmas (I hope).

Same here fingers crossed.

Go to the Help menu in DP and select 'New Features In Digital Performer 6', and it launches the PDF. Since the PDF is stored somewhere in the app, I saved a copy to my desktop for printing or for reading when DP wasn't launched. (The instructions for finding this are easy to miss - they're in the Read-Me which appears at the start of installation.)

This is a new approach for MOTU. In DP 5 and earlier, the installer used to put the PDF - and maybe the Read Me file too, I don't recall - on your desktop or in the DP application folder (which is no longer used).

When you run the updater, one of the first screens is the READ ME. From there you can save or print. I choose to save and copied from the text file:

MLC, you stole the spotlight from my post!

The 'New Features' PDF has much more detailed info than the PDF. Unlike previous versions of DP, which saved it onto your desktop or Applications folder, it's kept in the DP Help menu.
