AudioDesk Version 2 projects
If you are running Digital Performer 4 on Mac
OS X, you can exchange files with AudioDesk
Ve r s i on 2. Just use Save As in Digital Performer’s
File menu and choose the AudioDesk 1.0 file
format. To open AudioDesk Version 2 (or Version
1) files in DP4, just use the Open command. (No
conversion is required beforehand in AudioDesk.)
AUDIODESK AND MIDI SEQUENCING
AudioDesk can play audio as a background
application, allowing you to run a sequencer at the
same time in the foreground. However, there is no
way to continuously synchronize — or resolve — a
sequencer with AudioDesk, so the two programs
will eventually drift out of sync, even if you manage
to start them at the same time. If you’d like to do
integrated MIDI sequencing, your best bet is
Digital Performer, which offers pretty much all of
the same features as AudioDesk, along with
powerful, state-of-the-art MIDI sequencing. Talk
to your authorized MOTU dealer for details about
upgrading from AudioDesk to Digital Performer.
