This was my experience at first with PB but it is, in fact, as Rick solid as DP. and thank you for your thoughtful responses to my previous posts. What do I need to do to make it so, or am I going down a path that is not trustworthy? But I must say that I spent a lot of hours yesterday trying to get Bidule and DP7 to communicate with each other in ReWire Mode. Learning to work with DP7 is my main focus. I am not going to waste too much time figuring out ReWire and/or Bidule. Should there be something placed or configured within the Mac OS so that ReWire mode can work reliably with two ReWireable programs? (Am I making sense?) I peeked into the Propellerhead folder which contained ReWire (within the "Library/Application Support" folders of the Mac OS). ![]() How is Bidule to be configured (or DP7 to be configured) in order for ReWire Mode to be used reliably? Is there something that I need to do within Apple's operating system itself in order to make things work correctly? It seems that there was the basic stand-alone mode for Bidule, a 64-bit stand-alone mode for Bidule plus some additional plug-in mode for Bidule using VSTs and AU libraries. I downloaded everything from the Plogue web-site that had to do with Bidule. Please understand that this is my first time using Rewire mode. I can get it to work again, but only after much fussing about. When I start up DP7 then start up Bidule, the ability to use Bidule in ReWire Mode is lost. However, I am not able to recall ReWire Mode whenever I engage Bidule and DP7 again. ) So, I followed the directions from DP7's manual and briefly got Bidule to work with it in ReWire mode. (Yes, I did for this particular situation. (At least I haven't found it so.) But DP7's manual does nicely explain working with ReWire. The manual that comes with Bidule doesn't seem explain its ReWire mode adequately. However, I can not get Bidule to work reliably in " ReWire Mode". Additionally, I can get it to interphase with DP7 on a basic level. I can get Bidule, itself, to work just fine. I can see how it can be used to help utilize RAM for larger sequencing projects (using orchestral templets, etc). ![]() So, I decided to down-load, purchase (it costs $95, by the way) and register Plogue's Bidule. I want to take advantage of my computer's RAM and CPU processing power and, at the same time, ensure that DP7 remains "rock-solid and responsive". ![]() In reading the users' posts on this forum, it seems that many people here have a "DP7 - Bidule" set-up in order to help deal with the memory limitations of this 32-bit program. Hopefully MOTU will respond quickly and I'll receive proper registration status so that I can receive future up-dates and up-grades. My "Cross-Grade" registration application is in the mail. It's known capabilities as a film-scoring program is the main reason why I purchased this "cross-grade" to begin with. I'll especially will be needing to when I attempt to use it for my very modest film-scoring needs. It seems to be a deep program offering many choices for the composer/sequencer and I will want to be taking advantage of these choices. However, I can see that I will be needing to for the more advanced functions of DP7. It "feels" good and seems quite responsive when sequencing. For example, given the set-up that I configured between my happy MOTU devices and DP7, latency is real low and CPU usage seems low as well. First impressions? It seems to be a rock-solid program, at least for my modest needs. WITHOUT ( just having fun with the smilie icons LOL! ) I'm happy to say that I believe that I have an idea to the basic workings of DP7 (working with the various instrumental libraries, effect plug-ins, changing tempo, changing time-signatures, etc., etc.) and can create music. ![]() Received the "cross-grade" of DP7 from FedEx Wednesday evening and I finally had some time to "tinker" with this program Thursday (yesterday).
