Hi Frits
There is a new product out from FXpansion called GURU, it’s a beatbox VST. I was beta testing it before and it never synced with Podium properly.
One of the developers of it got back to me and said
After some looking, Podium is apprently to blame (in my opinion), and this sort of thing is best fixed on their end.
Maybe you could ask the developers look at their PPQPos and samplePos as these seem to be doing some weird things (compared to any other host).
samplePos should be resetting when the transport resets. BarstartPos does, but samplepos just runs and runs.
Probably not very nice that they send a negative PPQpos sometimes either… but I suspect the running samplePos as the culprit.
I’d think it would make more sense for Podium to correct the issues, as GURU code runs great on many hosts and platforms, and as of now GURU doesn’t need host-specific sync code (which is what you’d hope for with any plugin format).
Hope this makes sense.
Steve
There is no downloadable demo as yet so I can’t ask you to try it out for yourself, but does what Steve said make sense? Does it explain why this plugin wont sync to Podium?
Thanks Frits, I just wanted to check it out before I bought it. No use getting it if it won’t work with my sequencer of choice 😉 Demo should be available in the next few weeks
