THE DIGITAL PERFORMER PROJECT

You can quickly access this folder with the “Open
Document Templates Folder” button under
Preferences > Startup Options.
Creating a default New Template
When you check the Use as default New Template
option, Digital Performer remembers the exact
state of the project file and reproduces it when you
request a new project. The File menu> New sub-
menu command will produce an untitled, empty
new project identical to the source project.
LOADING A SEQUENCE, SONG OR V-RACK
When a Digital Performer project is currently
open, the Load command in the File menu lets you
load sequences, songs and V-Racks from other
projects directly into the open project without
closing it. To load a sequence, song or V-Rack into
an open project:
1 Choose Load from the File menu, click the file
containing the sequence, song or V-Rack you wish
to load, then click Open.
Alternatively, you can drag the Digital Performer
project that contains the material you wish to load
from the desktop and drop it into the Chunks
window of the currently open project.
2 In either case, the Load window appears:
Figure 1-4: Loading a sequence, song or V-Rack from another project
into the currently open file.
3 Make sure the Load Chunks option is checked.
If it is not, click its check box. The Chunks list
displays all Chunks in the selected project.
4 Select the sequence, song or V-Rack you wish to
load.
If you wish to load more than one, Shift-click or
drag to select contiguous items and Command/
Ctrl-click to select non-contiguous items.
5 Optional: If you wish to load any other items
from the selected project, select the appropriate
option.
6 Click OK to confirm your choice or Cancel to
withdraw the Load command.
Clicking OK causes the selected Chunks to be
placed in the Chunks window of the currently open
Digital Performer project. You can change each
item’s position in the list by dragging its Type icon.
