Beta7:

Some UI adjustments and bug fixes.

The drum map enable/solo/mute is now added to the undo history.

The note audition will stop when the mouse is released.

I’ve given the drum kit preset feature some thought:

I developed the current drum kit preset feature many years ago, back when the focus was external MIDI modules and their proprietary ways of handling drums. Fortunately it has become much easier to work with drum plugins. I think it is time to retire the drum kit preset feature completely, and implement a simpler solution for reordering and renaming drum keys in the drum map editor.

Instead of having the drum maps in the project file, the drum maps could be stored in the global setup. One solution could be to include all drum maps in the Podium.ini file, but this means you would lose all the drum maps if you select the “restore default setup” command. A more advanced solution could be to have each drum map as a separate .ini file in a new “Drum Maps” folder, similar to how the color setup files are handled.

The drum map editor menu will then have a submenu for selecting between the drum map files found, along with commands such as “create new drum map” etc.
