    I have a track with the soundfont player sfz loaded. sfz can take MIDI from 16 different channels and assign a sound to each channel.

    In many sequencers, I just create a MIDI track, set a channel for it and just send it to the sfz track, but I’m not sure how to do this in podium?

    I created a sub-track for sfz and thought it might receive MIDI from the sub-track, but seemingly not.

    I’d basically like to have a row of seperate tracks, all pointing to sfz and each on different MIDI channel, is this possible?

    Go to the project wizard (ctrl+w), then in the ‘midi input mappings’ section select your midi interface in the list then hit the ‘create midi input channel mappings’ button and that will give you the 16 midi channels you need. Create a track for each of the channels you want to use and assign ‘sfz’ to each of those tracks – and away you go! – hopefully 🙂

    The way kingtubby describes it, you will get 16 insert instances of sfz. If you want to use one instance of sfz, and play it as a 16 channel multitimbral instrument the procedure is slightly different:

    Open the project wizard. In the plugin mappings panel, click the ‘import plugin definition’. Select the ‘rgc audio – sfz (global).pod’ file. This is a device definition file, that is set up with mappings for audio and 16 MIDI channels mappings, and also contains preset and MIDI parameter objects designed for the sfz. If you had a multitimbral plugin that weren’t in the device definition library, you should import it with the ‘import multitimbral plugin’ button.

    In your arrangement you put the ‘sfz Output’ mapping on a track that routes the audio. You then put any of the ‘sfz (01)’ … ‘sfz (16)’ mappings on tracks to play on the individual MIDI channels. The MIDI mappings will not route the audio.

    Duh! – I knew that all along of course 😳 I don’t know why I didn’t suggest it 😕
