Digital Performer:Patch changes

Prior to initiating MIDI patch changes from within Digital Performer you must first make sure your MIDI devices are connected properly and that the MAC OS MIDI configuration is properly configured.

To make patch changes to a track you need to set the output device and then choose the patch from either the patch, or default patch menu. These options are at the header of the track in the tracks window.(You can also make patch changes from other editors such as the Sequence editor).



Difference between the Patch and Default Patch
Default patch is the patch you want Digital Performer to always play first and revert to. This is the place to set your patch changes before you save your session!

The Patch is a display of the current patch that is playing including those that have been triggered by inserting patch changes to a track.

Changing patches by drawing in changes in the Sequence Editor
You can quickly draw in patches using the sequence editor (project / Sequence editor)

Go to a track and click the mini menu arrow in it's upper right corner and choose patch change. You can then draw in patch changes with the pencil tool.
