Productivity features

Digital Performer provides hundreds of features that enhance your productivity every step of the way. Here are just a few.

Auto-Save

Digital Performer's Auto-Save feature gives you peace of mind as you work. You can choose to either Auto-Save your original document automatically, at a chosen time interval, or you can auto-save to an auxiliary document in the background. The latter option allows you to choose when you want to save your original, while always maintaining a separate backup at all times.

Auto-Check for updates

Digital Performer is constantly being updated, and releases are issued on a regular basis. Use the Auto-Check for Updates feature to take immediate advantage of Digital Performer's on-going research and development.

MIDI Device Setup

Conveniently configure your external MIDI gear directly in DP. Everything you do is reflected in Mac OS X's Audio MIDI Setup utility. Need to transfer your DP project to another computer, or exchange it with a colleague? Your MIDI device setup can transfer with the project, with all settings and track assignments still intact.

Track enable/disable

Audio tracks can be enabled or disabled to free up their system resources. There's no need for you to be involved in cumbersome audio voice management chores. Digital Performer handles all of this automatically for you.

Preferences and Settings window

All of the preferences and general settings in Digital Performer can be found in one consolidated Preferences and Settings window for immediate access.

Scroll wheel support

If your mouse has a scroll wheel on it, you can use it with Digital Performer.

Marker Locate Numbers

DP's Markers window displays a column that allows you to control the locate number assigned to each marker. You can then quickly locate to that marker by using the customizable Go To Marker keystroke and then typing in the desired locate number. This means you are never forced to relearn locate points when adding a new marker somewhere in the middle of a project's timeline. Instead, you have complete control over locate numbers, and you can preserve numbers you've memorized during the course of a project.

Drum Editor edit grid

In addition to all standard note durations, you can also use triplet, dotted, and double-dotted resolutions in the Drum Editor.

Help tags toggle

For the seasoned pro, Digital Performer's floating tool-tip Help tags can be toggled off.
