Create or import maps to assign articulations (staccato, pizzicato, etc.) to symbols, keys, or controllers, achieving incredibly realistic and expressive performances in both MIDI programming and musical notation through QuickScribe.
-
MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression) support: The DP11 is compatible with MPE controllers like those from Roli, allowing you to record and edit expressive gestures per note, such as bends, slides, and pressure. Included synthesizers, like the MX4, are now MPE-compatible, opening up a world of sonic possibilities.
- Retrospective Audio and MIDI Recording: Never lose a great idea again. Digital Performer 11 continuously captures both audio and MIDI input, even when not recording. You can recall any recent performance with a simple command, freeing your creativity from the pressure of hitting the record button.

- Clip Triggering for Live Performance: The Clips window transforms Digital Performer into a powerful tool for live performances. Trigger audio and MIDI clips, loops, and backing tracks individually or as entire scenes using popular pad controllers like the Novation Launchpad or Akai APC.
