Added support for Unicode file names and text input.
The Podium file browser sorts the file list according to the current user locale.
Added support for mice with 4-way scroll wheel.
When key focus is in the “Note name” field in the Note Map dialog, the Enter key will activate the “Edit next” button instead of the default OK button.
Rerendering a bounce track will truncate the bounced audio file to the length of the new bounce range.
Fix: Adding a new track with the master track hidden would not insert the new track as a child of the master track (Bug appeared in 3.1.0).
Fix: Pressing a track bounce button would not toggle bounce if other tracks were soloed.
Fix: The “Adjust tempo and stretch to align grid at cursor” command could freeze if the bpm value was not enabled in the tempo event.
Fix: Using the “Fade-In” and “Fade-Out” sound editor commands on a 32-bit fixed point file produced silence in the selected range.
Added a new “Control Surfaces” page to the Audio/MIDI setup dialog. The page replaces the old “Detect Mackie compatible control surface” option on the MIDI page.
Up to eight Mackie Control compatible devices can be configured. Surfaces can be combined by specifying increasing channel offsets for the following surfaces in the list. Each surface chain that is configured with a starting channel offset of zero will act as a separate surface with its own channel navigation, allowing multiple users to work simultaneously and independently on the same arrangement.
Added support for Mackie and Logic Control XT (extender) control surfaces.
Added support for devices that partially or fully emulate the Mackie Control.
The control surface channels will map to the tracks that are visible in the UI. Collapsing group tracks or selecting track tags will thus affect which tracks are mapped to the control surface.
The 32-bit and 64-bit ReWire.dll file is now included as an option in the Podium installer.
Fix: Fixed various bugs related to the Mackie MCU support.
Fix: The audition option in the file browser did not work reliably.
Fix: When auditioning MIDI files in the browser, a crash could occur if the loaded arrangement did not contain any tempo events.
The installer now logs the folders where the Podium application and the Zynewave plugins are installed. Future Podium installers will use these folders as defaults, so that you don’t have to select your customized folders each time you update Podium.
Podium x64 will save the plugin database, plugin scan and plugin quarantine logs with _x64 appended to their filenames. This avoids conflicts when running both Podium x64 and Podium x86 on the same PC. The change means that Podium x64 will rebuild the plugin database the next time you create a new project.
Improved robustness against crashing VST plugins.
Fix: Pressing middle mouse button while hovering over a note event would not repaint the note properly.
Podium is now available in both 64-bit (x64) and 32-bit (x86) builds. Podium x64 requires 64-bit Windows OS and 64-bit VST plugins. The Zynewave zPEQ, zReverb and zPitch plugins are also ported to x64.
Added “Enable jBridge x86/x64 VST plugin wrapping” option to the preferences dialog. The jBridge third-party software can be used to load both 32-bit and 64-bit VST plugins when running Podium x86/x64 on a 64-bit Windows OS. Podium will detect if jBridge is installed, and invoke it when scanning and loading VST plugins that use a different processor architecture. It is not necessary to use the jBridger tool to create wrapped dll files.
Podium releases are now created with a different installer tool that supports x64 packages. The zip file download contains separate x86 and x64 installers. The new installer presents the Podium application and the Zynewave plugins as independent features. The plugins are by default installed as a subfolder under Podium, as it was done with previous installers, but you can now customize the folder to for example place the plugins in your main VSTPlugins folder.
Changed the version numbering from x.xx to the more common x.x.x scheme. The third number in the version text represents maintenance revisions.
Removed the date expiration in the Podium demo.
Fix: Solved an issue where inserting a VSTi inside of eXT2 would cause the Podium play cursor animation to stop.
