Cambridge, Mass.-based MOTU (Mark of the Unicorn) on Wednesday made Digital Performer 4.51 available for download. This upgrade to the MIDI and audio sequencer adds performance improvements as well as some new features, including dynamic CPU management, which disables processing for plug-ins when they’re idle, saving processor cycles for use by the application. Digital Performer 4.51 also enables saving of bounce-to-disk settings and adds a new location number column to the Marker window for quicker marker access.
This is a free download for registered Digital Performer 4.5 users. The full software is US$795 and upgrades from previous versions are $149. MOTU does not provide system requirements on its Web site.
