I am a little confused as to the importing of banks into podium. I have done as is outlined in the guide however am finding that the banks I have imported are appearing as individual presets rather than banks. Would anyone be so kind as to explain how I would remedy the situation please?

It is correct that an imported fxb bank file appear as a single object in the preset list. Assigning a bank preset to the track will load all presets within the bank to the plugin. What would you like to do with the bank?
to be more specific the particular synths i am using (sts-24, laserblade – maybe other synthedit synths i dunno?) seem to only allow changing preset via the host. i assume banks contain a bunch of presets consolidated so it should expand to show a bunch of presets when i select the bank.

In that case it is best to convert the bank library preset to individual program library presets. Once you have assigned the bank preset to the plugin track, use the ‘create library presets for all programs’ track context menu. Once you have done this you can dispose of the bank preset, and assign the individual program presets in the preset panel.
