daniel elektron had the same advice, so i thought i'd give it a whirl.

i didn't last very long on 1.19.

i've taken a shine to using the machinedrum as the master clock, at least while i'm
"jamming", under 1.12b.  digital performer 4.1 doesn't recognize 1.19's
start/stop/continue messages.  this is why i know nothing's changed in DP:

1. DP starts playback automatically when it detects the presence of the MD's clock (basically,
you tell DP that it doesn't need start/stop/continue messages to start).  when the default mode is engaged,
DP doesn't start playback.

2. i reverted to 1.12b, and DP behaves as expected.

3. just in case some wiseguy asks, yeah, sync out was enabled under 1.19.  cf #1  ;)


reading the bugfix list provided, i've surmised that the problems i've encountered are
probably the result of using the [function] key for copy/clear/paste operations.  i
can't help it, it seemed logically consistent, and i can be slavish, that way.  =)

so i figure i'll stick with 1.12 until this sync transmission issue is resolved,
and take especial care not to abuse the [function] key.

thanks!
