The ‘Stretch Edit’ layer that has been implemented in DP10 is, quite possibly, my favorite use of time/pitch stretching in a DAW. You’re still going to want to augment your library with some great dedicated virtual instruments, but DP finally has a ‘factory library’ included that will ‘fill all the holes’ and give you quick access to sounds when you don’t want to dig into your personal massive collection. It’s exactly what you need to compliment the wonderful factory synths that already ship with DP. The instruments themselves have minimalist controls, and utilize a ridiculously low footprint of CPU power to run. When you buy DP10, you get a large variety containing hundreds of instruments all expertly sampled that run in the free UVI workstation format. I had long advocated for MachFive 3 (MOTU’s awesome sampler instrument) to be included as a ‘bundle’ with Digital Performer, but this is even better. Everything from acoustic pianos to strings is now included with DP10. Now DP has included some really great synths with versions past, I’ve always been a big fan of MX4, but with the MOTU Instruments Soundbank you now have access to a whole slew of sampled sounds. One of the biggest ‘tentpole features’ that Digital Performer 10 brings to the table is one that I’ve been anxiously awaiting for some time: an instruments soundbank. I was eager to see how these changes had been implemented, but I integrated Digital Performer 10 into my workflow for a solid few weeks before I started writing about it. With version 10, a whole new gallery of instruments, effects, and ways of recording music have been implemented to launch DP10 into the modern age of production. Mark of the Unicorn dropped a fairly large bombshell of features in the latest update to their flasgship DAW, Digital Performer.
