New from MOTU: Digital Performer 5 with six new CPU-efficient, easy-to-use instrument plug-ins.
* BassLine - analog-style monophonic bass synth: Monstrous low end and
instant bass lines
* PolySynth - retro analog-style polyphonic pad synth: lush pads, rude
squawks, twisting sweeps, classic analog
* NanoSampler - the easiest way to play samples. Load a sample and play
it. Add filter, LFO and/or envelope.
* Modulo - highly programmable 2-osc subtractive synth: LFOs, multimode
filters, envelopes and plenty of modulation
* Model 12� - twelve part programmable drum module: Instant drums,
hundreds of factory samples and dozens of preset kits
* Proton - imaginative and provocative two-op FM synth: Sparkling
bells, searing leads, classic Rhodes, simple & effective FM
Additional DP5 new feature highlights include:
* Track Folders - organize your track lists and show or hide track
groups with a single click. You can even put folders within folders
* Meter Bridge - monitor all inputs, outputs, busses, bundles,
instruments and tracks at one glance with long-throw, scalable,
responsive meters
* Trim, Slip, Slide & Roll tools - four new audio editing tools to speed
up your edits
* Automatic audio voice allocation - audio engine resources are
efficiently and dynamically allocated to audio tracks as needed to play
and record
* New film scoring features - display and export streamers, flutters,
punches and a visual click directly on a QuickTime movie. Trigger
external hardware to display visual cues on an external video monitor
* Custom click - quickly program, save and use customized click patterns
of any length
* Enhanced count off - specify in beats and measures, rather than just
measures
* New input monitoring modes - monitor disk track inputs in line
("record safe") and choose among four different monitoring modes to suit
your tracking style
* Waveform editor enhancements - use DP's familiar main transport and
selection features, including the playback wiper. Directly edit embedded
audio file tempo maps, real-time pitch correction and beat detection
beats
* Clip-based volume and gain - Draw a volume curve on an audio clip and
it stays with all instances of the clip. Add or reduce overall levels
non-destructively in hundredths of a dB
* MIDI Keys - trigger synths, enter MIDI notes or even step record from
your computer keyboard
* MIDI Device Setup - conveniently configure your MIDI gear directly in
DP
* Add instrument - in one simple operation, add as many instances of an
instrument plug-in as you need, with multiple MIDI tracks already
assigned and everything placed together in new track folders
* Support for Pro Tools 7 - DP5 is fully qualified for use with Pro
Tools 7 systems running DAE Version 7.1cs4 or higher
