    Hi Frits,

    Since the last version can automatically scan the VST folder and already creates Device Mappings for mono and stereo i/o, this would be very good if it could also create one for multiple inputs/outputs ?

    I assume you mean surround/multi-channel configurations. I’ll look into it.

    Yes.
    Since Podium finds that a plugin has x ins and x outs, I suppose that it will not be too difficult to set the mapping accordingly ?
    This doen’t replaces a hand made Device Definition, mostly for the setup of the automation parameters (I speak for mines and their useless params that I can’t hide from Synthedit 👿 ), but I think that it could be cool for a common usage…

    The way Podium sets up mono or stereo mappings are according to the VST plugin GetInputProperties/GetOutputProperties calls, which has a flag for whether a channel is mono or stereo. This is why Podium can correctly set up multiple mono and stereo mappings for some (e.g. Native Instruments) plugins that support both. If Podium is to automatically set up surround mappings, the plugin will have to support the GetSpeakerArrangement call. Do you know if your plugins/SynthEdit support this function?

    sure they don’t have !
    The only option for the VST export in Synthedit is to declare mono or stereo outputs. And I don’t think that a GetSpeakerArrangement call will have a chance to appear as an option before several years !

    I thought that Podium could count : “2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 8, so I map 8 outputs”…
    You can see how I am not a programmer 😕

    Nervermind !

    The problem is that the 2+2+2+2 for most of the plugins on the market are indicating that the plugin supports multiple stereo outputs. If I were to interpret this as an 8 channel mapping, then plugins like Battery, Kontakt, MicroTonic, RMIV, sfz+, etc. would not be imported correctly.

    Of course,
    Some times, I might think a little deeper…

    Nevertheless, I will ask to Jeff McClintock for the GetSpeakerArrangement call.
    He will at least pu it on his also large to do list !
