Before I went out a bought a controller keyboard, I tried for ages to make the virtual MIDI keyboard setup work with zero results. Sometimes a total freeze. sometimes the keyboard won’t load. Worse of all, when I did get one to load, I could record MIDI tracks but had no plugin to create sound to monitor, since the keyboard was taking up the plugin slot on the track and Podium will not accept a second plug. Running in from keyboard on desktop, I always had issues with Podium having a fit because the keyboard was on the screen, even though technically outside the host and shouldn’t be subject to Podium’s control and touchiness.
I tried loading the keyboard from outside via MidiYoke with not much better results. I think the keyboard you have linked here is the only one I never came across in my trials. Are you routing via MidiYoke cables from the keyboard on desktop? Or just how are you doing it? Many, and formerly including myself, badly wanted this ability. Could you give details to your setup?
As for the other, check to be sure these MidiYoke cables and that yoke installation is not interfering with your audio connection. Then check to make sure you don’t have the PC’s internal GM synth connected in Podium’s Audio & MIDI setup pages. That can often foul up audio inputs in Podium.
