DIGITAL PERFORMER
58
Similarly, with the help of a MOTU Digital
Timepiece, Digital Performer and a 896HD can
perform sample-accurate transfers with Tascam
digital recorders.
A sample-accurate transfer is one in which the
original location of the audio is preserved in the
transfer, down to the sample.
For details on how to set up sample-accurate sync,
see “Sample-accurate sync” on page 21. Be sure to
choose the Sample Accurate Sync option in Digital
Performer’s Receive Sync dialog, and make sure that
the Slave to External Sync command is checked,
too.
To c ont r o l t h e t r ansports of everything together
from Digital Performer, see the next section.
MIDI MACHINE CONTROL (MMC)
If you have ADATs and a MMC-compatible ADAT
synchronizer like the MIDI Timepiece AV or
Digital Timepiece, you can control everything
from your computer screen with Digital
Performer’s transport controls and cueing features
(like Markers, the playback wiper, etc.)
Similarly, if you have Tascam recorders and a
MOTU Digital Timepiece (or other MMC-
compatible Tascam synchronizer), can control all
of your Tascam decks (in ABS time) in a similar
fashion from Digital Performer.
See the MIDI Machine Control chapter in your
MIDI Timepiece AV or Digital Timepiece manual
for details on how to set this up.
PROCESSING LIVE INPUTS WITH PLUG-INS
If you patch a live input (such as a MIDI
synthesizer) through a plug-in effect in Digital
Performer, you might hear a slight delay. There are
several ways to reduce this delay. For details, see
chapter 11, “Reducing Monitoring Latency”
(page 85).
USING A FOOT SWITCH
Use a foot switch connected to the 896HD to
trigger recording punch-in and punch-out, or any
other feature in Digital Performer that is assigned
to a computer keystroke. By default, the foot switch
triggers the 3 key on the computer keypad (which
toggles Digital Performer’s record button.) To
trigger a different set of keystrokes with the foot
switch, visit the MOTU FireWire Audio Console.
(See “Enable Pedal” on page 43.)
EXCHANGING PROJECTS WITH AUDIODESK
AudioDesk Version 1 projects
Digital Performer (Version 2.6 or later) can
exchange files with AudioDesk (Version 1). For
example, you can transfer a file from Digital
Performer to AudioDesk, and back again. Just use
Save As in Digital Performer’s File menu and
choose the AudioDesk file format. To open
AudioDesk Version 1 files in Digital Performer, just
use the Open command. (No conversion is
required beforehand in AudioDesk.)
If you have an earlier version of Digital Performer
(2.5 or earlier), you can open your Digital
Performer files in AudioDesk (with the Open
command in the File menu), but Digital Performer
2.5 or earlier cannot open AudioDesk files.
AudioDesk Version 2 projects
If you are running Digital Performer 4 on Mac
OS X, you can exchange files with AudioDesk
Ve r s i on 2. Just use Save As in Digital Performer’s
File menu and choose the AudioDesk 1.0 file
format. To open AudioDesk Version 2 (or Version
1) files in DP4, just use the Open command. (No
conversion is required beforehand in AudioDesk.)
SOUND MANAGER AND DIGITAL
PERFORMER (OS 9 ONLY)
Digital Performer includes a Mac OS 9 MOTU
Audio System plug-in called AudioTap that allows
you to route any Sound Manager audio into Digital
Performer’s mixing environment. From there, you
