    Concerning your DP problem: please select f.i. the file "Special Edition Demo#1_DP5_1" in the finder and hit Command-I to open the Info window. There, you can find a menu at "Open with:", which should give you the option to open the file with Digital Performer. Please select the application and try to open the Demo file now - does that make a difference?

    Best, Marnix

     

    I already tried that ... but still no joy ...

    Anyway, now that I have the presets sorted I can just make my own demo project using the raw midi - which I can open no probs.

    Thanks for the help!

    I'm having the same problem with DP5.11. Have tried all the various ways of opening the files to no avail. I'd really like to open the DP file in order to see the results Christian achieved with the built in effects. This is such a fantastic resource guys, can anyone help me to use it? Thanks.

    Although I have 'moved on' with my life so to speak - I'd still like to be able to open that project and have a look if anyone can fix it! 😊

     Hi, 

    we were also surprised that the Special Edition Demo Song doesn´t open in DP 5.11..... 

    I´n not a DP user, so please excuse the maybe stupid question: What speaks against an upgrade to DP 5.12?

    Best,

    Not a stupid question. For no other reason than I haven't upgraded it yet I've got one machine running 5.11. I have also tried on a different machine running 5.12 and that doesn't work either. Neither of the files are recognized as DP files; it believes they're unix exe files and no amount of telling the mac which application to use will persuade DP to open it. I've just looked in the folders for the other DAW options and all the files are listed as unix exe files, so I suspect it's more basic than a DP compatibility issue. Any thoughts?

    I already outlined the nature of the problem in the third post of in this thread on 11-17-2007. The files are unix exe and are simply not recognized, it is not simply a DP version incompatibility.

    to be more precise:

    OS X or DP is _assuming_ they are UNIX executables what cannot be, because the files have been created and packed on a mac (OS X 10.4.9 IIRC) - what took me wonder from start is that i've been assured DP does not create and need file-extensions .... very uncommon for an OS X app ...

    Try to open the files by using the "open with" dialogue box in OS X:

    DP doesn´t use any file extensions (please ask MOTU why), that is why it shows up as "UNIX" file, which is a general identifier.

    Tried that one already. OSX doesn't suggest DP as an option and even when I navigate to it myself nothing happens. DP becomes the active application but nothing else happens.
