Today Digital Performer went berserk. It would not respond to mouse clicks. All the menus worked but all the items in the menus were grayed out. All DP windows were inactive. Keyboard shortcuts would not work. The Apple Force Quit Applications dialog didn’t see a problem with the app.
Troubleshooting
- Quit all other running applications. => no change in DP stand off
- Removed peripheral USB drives => no change
- Power cycled the audio interface => no change
- Tested the MIDI setup => no problems, no change with DP
- Tried opening another DP session to see if DP would ask to save the currently opened one. => Didn’t work, no change
- Looked for last modified files written around the time DP freaked out. Noticed that one screen box was always in the foreground. Every time I moved a finder window this box would stay in the foreground. Odd. It was the page selector for the score editor. The user was about to do some step entry stuff and the last thing she did was type in a new page number. => I was able to type in a new page number. Bam! DP started to rebuild windows! Kontakt patches reloaded. It was coming ALIVE! We quickly did a saved as.. command to save a new version of the DP project.
