I use Digital Performer 3.11, I have Mac OS X.3 AND OS 9.2.1, so if I want to make music I boot up my computer in OS 9...my problem is:
With digital performer 3, the sample information is stored in the keyboard I use (korg n264). What instrument comes out of channel one, two, etc... depends on what my keyboard is set to. For instance: channel: Korg n264-1: (then is has the notes that should be played in the graphic editor). Channel: Korg n264-2: (more notes that should be played on this channel) As you can see, it doesn't matter what the patch/sample is set to in Digital performer...my keyboard is what determines the sample or patch being played! If I want to make MIDI files, I need the patch information to be saved and stored IN DIGITAL PERFORMER, not on my keyboard! The only thing my keyboard will do is play the notes...the instrument that plays the notes should be altered in digital performer! I do this because, if if I try and save a digital performer file as a MIDI file, all the computer has is the notes that should be played! It has NO PATCH INFORMATION. That's all on my keyboard! So how do I configure digital performer to internally save all patch information on the computer and not the keyboard? I REALLY hope someone can answer this, so i can start making music sometime! Thanks to all those responders, I appreciate it! -Dinero |

it's been so long since i've seen os 9. so anyway... freemidi, it's your friend. if you've created your n264 and it's connected to your midi interface in the freemidi setup, then all of your patches should show up in the 'patch' column in the tracks window of dp3, since freemidi has a factory patch list for the n264. hope this helps.

You have to insert the program change in the midi track.
Easiest way is open Event list of that track and click "I". Then you'll see patch change, controllers........ You can program the exact way you want : pan, vol., ... All of these provide that you set FreeMIDI (or OMS) and patch manager correctly. You can see it on the patch column of the track window. When you click on it you'll see the pop up patch list. Once you've done programing patches to your liking, it'll show up in the MIDI file when you export.
