Hello,
As many of you will agree, Podium is a truly wonderful product!
I am currenly using Cubase SX and would like to see more Control Surface Support as well as Integrated MIDI Support for Podium.
At present the parameter settings work outside of the control surface. One of the main reasons I chose a control surface is to be able to do the things one would do with a control surface. The 01x and Cubase SX integrate very well together.
One thing in particular that I have noticed is that neither the volume or pan settings within the track itself affect MIDI channels. Therefore, I would assume that the volume and pan settings only affect audio files and as I understand it, this is a correct assumption?
To do this, you need to configure parameters to work Volume and Pan. In control surface mode, this takes up 2 complete channels, which, to me anyhow, is somewhat inefficient (at least from the 01x point-of-view).
If this IS so – then why is it not possible to do this with MIDI files? I know this does work in Cubase – why not Podium?
My query is this, how many would like to see integrated MIDI Volume/MIDI Pan support in Podium?
For me personally, this is an important feature that is keeping me from purchaing this great program.
Thank you again for your input.
