.I might be missing something in your pic but it looks like the midi isn’t being inputed into a plugin and the if there was a plugin it has been disabled. Midi isn’t sound, it is instructions of notes, durations and such needed to make the sound, so it needs a plugin to take the midi and turn it into sound which is what bounce files record.
Basic Podium configuration
1) Audio/MIDI and VST Setup
– Setup -> Audio/MIDI;
In the Audio tab select your driver, your interface and two input channels and two output channels (stereo in/stereo out);
– Setup -> Preferences
In the Plugins tab add your VST folder(s)
2) Build the plugin database only once with Rebuild and load plugin database on the Create New Project page. This command creates a global database can be used in all projects. At this point, for all new projects, just select Load plugin database. In this way, you’ll use always the plugin in the global database you have created.
If for some project you need to add more plugins, you can use Import plugin… or Import plugin for folder… from the Devices menu in the Project Start Page. The new plugin will only be added to that project and not to the main database.
If you need to heavily modify the global database by adding dozens of new plug-ins, you should rebuild it again with Rebuild and load plugin database. If you maintain the old database folders structure, the old projects will be able to find the new plugins when you select Load plugin database.
I suggest you to create a database folders structure in your VST folder(s), something like this:
3) Insert a plugin instrument in the Source slot of the MIDI track and select your MIDI keyboard from Input slot.
That’s all. Now the plugin should be able to play the MIDI sequence in the track and also you should be able to play in real-time with your MIDI keyboard.
