ZynewaveThe .pod file format has been updated for this release, so it is recommended that you make backups of your projects.
ConquistadorThanks Frits. 🙂
H-manYes,
Thanks here too Frits. 😀 Had to break out my old CM copy of Re-Birth to test this 😯 but it looks pretty good so far. I’m sure this ticks a rather important box for many people evaluating Podium.

Very nice, thanks again,

acousmodThe open/close state of plugin editors is now remembered for each arrangement, so the editors are automatically opened the next time you power on.
Thanks a lot !
Little things like that can really make a difference in everyday use.
Fix: Resizing sound events to the start of the arrangement could in certain cases reset the offset within the sound.
Well done 😉
ZynewaveThe first ReWire related bug has been reported. I’ll release a 2.03 bug-fix version in a few days time with this fix:
Fix: Podium would show a ReWire error message if the ReWire option was enabled in the preferences and no ReWire.dll was installed on the PC. Podium would also crash on exit if the ReWire.dll was not found.
Until then, if you don’t have any ReWire applications installed on your machine, installing 2.02 is not recommended.

Podium only supports ReWire master/mixer mode. Implementing ReWire client support is a whole lot more work, so don’t expect to see that soon.
VonbruckenOk thanks !!! 😀
Malcolm JacobsonHi Fritz,
Congratulations on adding ReWire support! I saw the announcement over at KVR and downloaded the demo to try it out.
Having spent a few hours with the demo, I have the following bug reports for you:
• The MIDI data for “Sustain” does not appear to be getting through to the ReWire device. My controller passes sustain information correctly to VSTi’s within Podium, but the same data does not get through to Reason 4.
• When I create a new Instrument in Reason, I get an error message in Podium that says “Reason ReWire error: Invalid parameter (GetControllerInfo)”.
Apart from these bugs everything else seems to work fine, and I like how easy it is to launch a ReWire session.
Most of my ReWire instruments are stereo. When I look at the list of returns the only stereo pair appears to be for channels 1 + 2 (Mix L+R). Is it possible to link a pair of returns from a ReWire device to a stereo track?
Cheers,
Malcolm.

Hi Malcolm, thanks for the bug-report.

On closer inspection, I have found that when playing a MIDI keyboard in Podium routed through to a Reason instrument, Reason apparently does not respond as expected to note-on messages with zero-velocity. This is a standard method of sending note-offs and is used by most MIDI keyboards. So what to you seem as a non-responding sustain pedal, it’s actually because Reason never interprets any note-off messages. I’ll fix this by converting to true note-off messages when routing MIDI through to ReWire devices. Note that this is not an issue with sequenced notes in Podium, as these are sent out using true note-off messages.

Confirmed. I’ll fix that.

An example: Open the properties dialog for the Reason “Channel 3” mapping. Change “Mono” to “Stereo” in the plugin output combobox. Name the mapping “Channel 3+4” or something similar. If you always use stereo pairings, you can then delete the redundant “Channel 4” mono mapping object.
