Make sure you have downloaded all three parts:
The Art Conductor archive
The Snapshot archive
The Presets archive
Before you can install the software, you’ll need to unzip it. Please use the onboard tools of macOS or, for instance, 7-Zip on Windows for this task. This is important to note, as the sheer number of files in this archive can result in errors depending on your choice of unzipper app.
Unzipping the Art Conductor archive creates a folder called “🅱️ Art Conductor Digital Performer” that contains all the content. Open Digital Performer and navigate to Projects > Articulation Map Setup.
Use the “Import” button to load Articulation Maps into Digital Performer.
Power users can also make a New Map, right-click the new entry in the “Global” folder and select “Reveal in Finder”. Then, copy the entire Art Conductor folder to this location.
From there, please refer to the Digital Performer manual to understand what you’re seeing here and how to work with it—the remaining part deals with Art Conductor and some special libraries.
The Snapshot and Preset archives can be stored anywhere you like. You only need those files when working with a few libraries that require special configurations.
