Tempo control
Is it possible (and how), can I control the Tempo of DP9.5 via a MIDI controller? Morrye

You can use Tap Tempo.

Re: Tempo control
You want to assign a slider to slide the tempo up & down?
In the Transport Window, under tempo control, there is an option that says "Remote Control"
From the manual:
When the Tempo Control is set to Remote Control, the tempo slider can be controlled from an external MIDI source such as a modulation wheel on a MIDI keyboard, or any other source of continuous controller data.
To set up the Tempo slider for external MIDI control:
1 Choose Remote Control from the Tempo Control menu.
2 Choose Set Remote Source from the Tempo Control menu (that same menu)
A dialog box appears.
The Set Remote Source feature allows you to control Digital Performer’s tempo dynamically, during playback or recording, with an external MIDI source, such as the mod wheel on a keyboard.
3 Select the MIDI device from which the external control data will be received from the menu provided.
4 Select which type of MIDI data will be used to control the slider.
Modulation wheels send controller #1.
5 Click OK to confirm your choice or Cancel to withdraw the command.
I'd imagine that audio probably won't play very nice with this feature in use, but I may be wrong.
