Reply To: Auto Device mapping problems

I did not want to sidetrack Acousmods thread and I think it is good for new users to see how the this problem has been solved (it certainly looks like it in P2.00)…

The merge command will import the project into the current project and search the current project for mappings that match those in the imported project. If matches are found Podium will delete the device mappings in the imported project and replace the assignments on the tracks with the matched mappings in the current project.

That looks like a sweet solution for automapping problems.

If there are any device mappings in the imported project that is not matched in the current project, these objects will be added to the end of the device list. Thus you won’t end up with two device folders.

Nice!

The merge project command can also be useful if you e.g. have created a new project template with a different plugin layout, and you want that layout propagated to older projects. You could simply create a new project with this template and then merge it with the older project. The result is a project where all arrangements are reassigned with the objects in the template

…this looks like a very nice solution to automapping issues surely…:shock: Two questions before the real celebrations begin though 😛 …

Frits…

1.Will all the FX and Vsti preset and bank settings e.t.c also be reassigned to any arrangement after a merge?

2. So I create my new template with my new VST plugin folder layout and additional new plugs with some older ones now removed. I also have changed my hardware so the devices in the new template reflect that.

Will the new merge feature also ‘refresh’ the hardware device mappings list as well by removing /replacing the older hardware device mappings in the same way it will do for VST’s? I just have to be 100% sure 🙂
