DP 10 setup for Metagrid

TIA for any help.

For Metagrid users, I hope you may be able to offer some setup help.

I’m trying to set up Metagrid for use with Digital Performer 10 on a Mac running Catalina 10.15.

On page 4 of the Metagrid DAW setup guide, there is the following statement:

❗️For DIGITAL PERFORMER, name your port METASYSTEM - DP - IN. This port is hard-coded into the DP keybindings file that needs to be imported to make Metasystem apps work with this DAW.”


I hate to ask such a basic question, but…. Where do I do this? I think maybe it should be in the Bundles setup, but I’m not sure. Would it be possible to get a screenshot from a DP user to show their completed setup or description of where in DP to do this? I have used the available download pdfs for setup, as well as the YouTube videos for setup, but this is not part of the instruction. Like I said, sorry to ask such a basic question.

I have everything else set up, I think, but I’m not getting 100% success. I have found that when I attempt to use the marker naming button, which has the marker symbol with a subscript n, it causes metaserver to crash on my mac. I wonder if the port naming is part of that problem.

Metagrid has been highly recommended to by some DP users and I’m very excited to begin using it.

Thanks!

They didn't make it entirely clear, but that's for DP on Windows systems.
I'm assuming you're using the Mac version of DP as this is posted in the Mac OS section. :)


You don't need to set anything up MIDI wise for the Mac version, just install the Metaserver on your computer and run it.
