Drag and drop audio and MIDI clips from DP’s new Content Browser into the Clips window and trigger them in real time, interactively, for live performance or on-the-fly inspiration while creating new material. Trigger individual clips, multi-track clip groups (a partial row) or the entire row (clips across all tracks). DP’s unique clip queue lets stack clip sequences ahead of time, so don’t have to manually trigger each one. Dynamically add and remove clips from the queue, as inspiration strikes, from laptop or any MIDI controller. The Clips window makes DP a live performance powerhouse, combining clip triggering with linear, track-based playback and live mixing. DP is now one-stop shop for creative studio production and live performance.Stretch AudioFrom precision editing of individual beats to global tempo changes, Stretch audio lets manipulate audio faster and easier, with more control than ever before. Grab an individual audio beat to adjust its timing. The new Stretch Edit layer lets precisely control anchor points to achieve exactly the feel want. For global tempo control, simply enable Stretch mode and the entire audio track instantly conforms to project tempo and timeline, even with smooth tempo changes over time. ZTX PRO™ technology from Zynaptiq™ ensures the highest possible audio quality throughout.Beat Detection 2.0Like magic, DP10’s Beat Detection finds the beats in rhythmic audio, from individual loops to multi-channels stems to full mixes. Once beats are detected, can fully manipulate them with DP’s new Stretch Audio feature and industry-leading tempo adjustment features. Instantly conform audio to the project’s tempo and timeline. Apply tempo changes, even gradual ones that change over time. Drop loops into the Clips window, all completely in time with the rest of music.Content BrowserGet instant access to all of the resources use to empower creativity: virtual instruments, loops, clips, plug-ins… Whatever need, it’s now right at fingertips, just a drag and drop away. Use Search to quickly find material by name or text strings. The Content Browser will speed workflow by tenfold.VCA Faders As with classic analog consoles of years past, VCA faders will revolutionize how mix in DP. A single VCA fader can control any number of tracks, precisely maintaining their relative volume. Create as many VCA groups as want.
