Digital Performer 11 Audio Workstation Software (boxed full version)

Digital Performer lets you record, edit, arrange, mix, process and master MIDI and audio tracks simultaneously to produce musical recordings, sound tracks for film and television, and other audio production tasks. For both Mac and Windows, Version 11 delivers exciting new features, including Articulation Maps, Audio Retrospective Record, support for MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE), a completely redesigned nanosampler 2.0 instrument plug-in, support for macOS Big Sur, native compatibility with Apple silicon Macs and dozens of additional user-requested enhancements.

Get started quickly with over 300 different instruments, 1100 instrument presets and 500 loops. Included are acoustic and electronic drum kits, pianos, guitars and basses, along with church organs, electric organs, strings, brass, woodwinds, synths, ethnic instruments, choirs, voices, percussion, sound effects and more. This versatile collection of instruments spans musical genres, eras, geographical regions and cultural styles. The completely redesigned nanosampler serves as every DP user’s go-to virtual instrument for creating unique beats, instruments and sounds. Drop in a sample and start stretching, slicing, randomizing and transforming audio into just about any sound or instrument you can imagine. New features include: three playback modes (Classic, 1-shot and Slice), ZTX time stretching, beat slicing with Randomize and Auto Randomize, Repeat and Reverse.

Drag and drop audio and MIDI clips from DP's new Content Browser into Clips window cells and trigger them in real time, interactively, for live performance or on-the-fly inspiration while creating new material. Trigger multi-track clip groups (a partial row of cells) or the entire row (clips across all tracks). DP's unique clip queue lets you stack clip sequences ahead of time, without having to manually trigger each one. Clips can be added and removed, as inspiration strikes, from your computer or any MIDI controller. The Clips window allows you to combine clip triggering with linear, track-based playback and live mixing.

Shape, sculpt, twist, mangle and otherwise process your tracks with 90 included real-time audio and MIDI effect plug-ins. You get 32-bit processing and 64-bit mastering. Highlights include the efficient ProVerb convolution reverb, MasterWorks EQ modeled after British console EQs, MasterWorks Leveler modeled after the legendary LA-2A optical leveling amplifier, MultiMode Filter, Pattern Gate and many more.

With DP’s new Articulation Maps feature, you can take full control of the expressive depth of today’s most advanced orchestral sound libraries, including VSL, East West, Spitfire, Cinesamples and many others. Create or import articulation maps to build dynamic instruments and ensembles, allowing you to play, record or program expressive performances with unprecedented realism and musical impact.

DP 11 adds audio to its Retrospective Recording capabilities. Now, DP always listens to both MIDI and audio input sources, capturing everything, even when not recording. Like magic, you can immediately recall any audio or MIDI material you’ve recently played. For both MIDI and audio input, Digital Performer ensures that you'll never lose that precious, fleeting creative moment.

For studio production, song writing, film scoring, live performance, remixing, post production and surround mixing, Digital Performer gets you there quickly with advanced features and intuitive, streamlined design.

Digital Performer represents a complete studio production experience on your computer desktop. Record, edit, mix, process and master polished recordings. Combine external hardware — synths, controllers, mics, instruments, compressors — with virtual instruments, loops, audio tracks and MIDI tracks, all together in a seamless, intuitive production environment.

Digital Performer's edit windows are so well-equipped with features, they could stand as separate applications on their own. Each window is loaded with features dedicated to each form of data, with the Sequence Editor serving as the grand master that displays all tracks and data together, side by side. Digital Performer's Waveform Editor is your all-in-one environment for down-to-the-sample waveform editing, precision beat editing, elastic audio stretching, pitch correction, embedded tempo maps and more. Choose an Edit Layer and go: menus and tools follow you. Zooming shortcuts abound. Revel in the precision and clarity the Waveform Editor affords your engineering eye.

DP includes a 5 GB library of multi-sample acoustic instruments, synths, loops and phrases: that's over 300 different instruments, 1100 instrument presets and 500 loops. You’ll find acoustic and electronic drum kits, pianos, guitars and basses, along with church organs, electric organs, strings, brass, woodwinds, synths, ethnic instruments, choirs, voices, percussion, sound effects and more. This versatile collection of instruments spans musical genres, eras, geographical regions and cultural styles.

Masterfully crafted plug-in processing for your audio... Digital Performer's MasterWorks series premium audio processors have been engineered for the most demanding and exacting mixing situations. They feature virtually infinite internal dynamic range with both 32-bit and 64-bit processing, CPU-efficient performance, and accurate modeling of classic analog circuits. Where appropriate, multiple channel configurations are provided (mono, stereo and surround channel configurations). These plug-ins have garnered such respect in the industry, they are now available for sale as a separate package for other audio hosts. This allows you to leave them instantiated on tracks when transferring projects to other host applications.

Digital Performer's included virtual instruments model a wide range of electronic music instruments, from classic samplers, to FM synthesizers, to modeled analog pad and bass synths. Choose a preset, dial up a few tweaks, and in minutes create a full mix. Digital Performer's included instrument plug-ins rival sophisticated third-party plug-ins costing hundreds of dollars. They are designed to be easy and fun to use, yet with the level of control you'd expect from an advanced synth.

MX4 mega multi-synth with new EDM soundbank

Inspired by legendary subtractive synthesizers, MX4 combines several core synthesis techniques in a unified, hybrid synthesis engine that delivers fresh and vintage sounds alike. As you explore its many banks and hundreds of presets, you'll soon rely on MX4 as your "go-to" instrument. Fat basses, nasty leads, analog pads, vintage electronica — it's all at your fingertips and conveniently saved with your DP projects for instant recall. Tweaking sounds is fast and easy with clearly presented controls in one window — but with a depth and sophistication true synth programmers will appreciate. Create your music with pristine 32-bit sound quality, unlimited voices and unlimited polyphony (as much as your host computer allows).
