Streamline your scoring workflow with Articulation Maps
If you work with advanced orchestral libraries like VSL, East West, Spitfire, and Cinesamples, among others, you'll be amazed by Digital Performer 11's Articulation Maps. Articulation Maps work with DP11's QuickScribe notation editor, linking different articulations to symbols, stem ornaments, alternate note heads, or custom text within QuickScribe, and connecting them to specific articulations in your orchestra library. You'll be able to compose faster and more efficiently with easier access to all your articulations, and you can even switch to a completely different sound library while maintaining your articulations.
Support for MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE) control
MPE has been revolutionary for keyboard composition and performance, allowing you to use a range of gestures to add depth and expression to your sounds. Digital Performer 11 now supports MPE-capable controllers from Roli and other manufacturers, capturing MIDI notes with encapsulated MPE expression data overlaid on the notes for easy editing. A new Scale tool allows you to adjust the range of expression from MPE data at any time. Best of all, Digital Performer 11's MX4 and other included synthesizer plug-ins are now MPE enabled, letting you explore MPE's vast expressive potential right from the start.
Always recording so you never miss a take
Musicians at Sweetwater are painfully aware that if you're not recording during a flash of inspiration, you may never capture that magical moment. With Digital Performer 11's Retrospective Recording capabilities, you're always recording. Retrospective Recording allows you to instantly recall any audio or MIDI you've recently played, ensuring you'll never have to worry about re-creating an inspired take or improvised phrase.
Live triggering and looping with the Clips window
DP has always been a top-shelf DAW. Now, with Digital Performer 11, it’s also a full-fledged performance instrument. Effortlessly drag and drop audio and MIDI clips from the content browser into Clips window cells, then trigger and loop them in real time. And with advanced support for pad controllers like the Novation Launchpad and Akai APC series, you can deliver engaging interactive live performances or reap the benefits of instantaneous, on-the-fly inspiration while creating music in your studio.
