Hi Frits!
I have a small feature request here, which admittedly likely has very little use in most circumstances.
As I use internal “host” VSTs (like energyXT and recently Mux VST), you can adjust the parameter settings for what is shown to the host. As Podium reads parameters and then saves them in the device list, any changes are not reflected without needing to rename them there as well, which is just a little bit of a distraction during usage.
For example, Mux VST by default opens with some simple project, and a Gain parameter. If I change it all up, the parameters in Podium’s device list still show the first as Gain, the second as Meta-Parameter 2 and so on.
I know historically Podium was very much a manual setup with devices and such, and truth be told I still like having the option there in the background should I want to alter things, but generally I’d like parameters to be whatever the plugin says they are.
I haven’t tested this in other hosts admittedly, so this may not just be with Podium. Do VSTs have a function that reports to the host that parameters have changed in their setup? If not, I’m not entirely sure how Podium would detect a parameter name (etc.) has changed, unless it just double checks on startup (likely slowing down, albeit briefly, the load time).
Anyway, there’s my FR that I came across (not so) recently!
