As the MIDI features of Digital Performer and Performer are identical, this guide will refer to Digital Performer for setup illustration. AudioDesk and Performer users should be able to implement most of the procedures described in this document. This guide assumes that you have a working knowledge of the Macintosh environment and a familiarity with Digital Performer and the Digital 328. The procedure will show the user how to integrate MIDI CONTROLLER BANK on the 328 as a limited control surface for the internal mixer within Digital Performer. This guide will also outline the steps to take to allow automated control of the 328 from Digital Performer. You must have Digital Performer 2.61 or later, Performer 6.0 or later and FreeMIDI 1.41 or later to achieve results outlined in this guide. Digital Performer uses MIDI Control Change parameters to control the Virtual Mixer found in Digital Performer, and the 328 is perfectly suited for this task. There may be limitations in the operation of the Digital 328 as a control surface for Digital Performer, yet these limitations are inherent to the design of software, and therefore must be accepted as such.

  • Surround Mode D'emploi
    Surround Mode d'emploi Quel que soit le style de création sonore que l'on aborde, travailler en pentaphonie, ou en général en multiphonie, met en œuvre des environnements d'outils analogues à ceux utilisés en stéréophonie, mais avec cette nouvelle nécessité qu'ils soient adaptés à ces nouvelles questions (nombre de sorties, largeur de bus, outils spécifiques, commandes gestuelles) ou au moins qu'on puisse les détourner de leur premier emploi. En gros, on enregistre, on joue, on traite, on agence toujours des sons, mais avec à chaque fois pourtant une préoccupation supplémentaire : OÙ les placer, POURQUOI les faire bouger et COMMENT le faire. Cette présentation a pour but de passer rapidement en revue l'ensemble des outils et des techniques utilisés lors des différentes étapes d'une création sonore en 5.1. 1. Matériel ou logiciel ? Si les matériels de studio sont équipés de multiples entrées / sorties audio depuis longtemps, ils n'en sont pas pour autant aptes à accéder et à traiter correctement le son dans l'optique multiphonique. On trouve bien, et de plus en plus fréquemment, des consoles numériques et des processeurs d'effets disposant de fonctionnalités dévolues au fameux "5.1", mais s'ils peuvent être utiles lors d'une prise de sons ou d'un traitement particulier, ils ne sont guère souples pour un travail un peu "créatif", et en tout cas particulièrement onéreux ! En fait, seuls les instruments (synthétiseurs, échantillonneurs) s'en sortent généralement plutôt bien. Pas étonnant, ils sont conçus dès le départ pour manipuler le son en temps réel et c'est même grâce à certains échantillonneurs ( Ensoniq par exemple...) qu'un certain nombre de compositions multiphoniques très élaborées ont pu voir le jour dès la fin des années quatre-vingt.
