    Hi there,

    Just wanted to say that Podium Free is very cool and I am super close to laying my money down.

    I come from a Synapse Orion background but nothing much seems to be going on with it at the moment and I’m wanting to move to something a little more updated.

    Just a few questions first:

    Is there a way to play notes via my PC keyboard?

    Are there any plans to have some form of pattern sequencing?

    Any plans for a drum sampler? I have 100’s of single hit samples and it would be great to be able to use them in the drum maps.

    Thanks, and again you have built a very very cool peice of software!

    No, there isn’t. You could play notes with any keyboard to midi conversor (as Bome’s).

    I also like pattern sequencing, I was an Orion and FL Studio user too, take a look here: http://www.zynewave.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2312&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=15

    Any plans for a drum sampler?

    I think there isn’t at the moment, sorry. I bought Poise for that.

    Just gave poise a go, slick!

    Would FL Directwave do the job? I already own that.

    I hope there is the possibility of a pattern based mode, for both sequencing and live performance in the future.

    Really impressed so far.

    Hi Khaos,

    Yes, it would. I also own DW. I’d make a template to use it quickly with drums. Since you can rename and limit keys in piano/drum roll you could. Take a look to this video to learn how to do a drum template:

    And this one (they’re a serie of three videos) to learn to manage plugins with multiple inputs and multiple outputs

    I hope there is the possibility of a pattern based mode, for both sequencing and live performance in the future.

    Me too 🙂

    I have lots of ideas for a drum sampler, so I hope to find time to work on that at some point. Currently I have quite a few Podium features that I want to finish first, so I don’t see myself working on instrument plugins for the next 6 months.

    No problems mate, any plans on any forms of live performance capabilities for Podium?

    Such as?

    I don’t think any of the features I’m planning for the next few months can be considered as targeting live performance.

    I do plan to support multi-touch input, once it becomes more commonly available.

    I don’t think podium needs live performance features. Unless you have a really good concept, it would probably just feel like trying to squeeze a square pig in a round hole.

    For the drum sampler: did you try the free shortcircuit 2? It works very well as a drum sampler.

    I need to look into tags, but can you trigger sections of a song via tags? Like the cubase arrange track?

    If you could assign tags to a midi keyboard to be triggered, that could be useful live. You could then in theory play an entire live set from wthin podium.

    I’ve only had the software for a few days but I’m finding it refreshing.

    I’ve got DirectWave and it seems to be doing the job so far, but cheers mate.

    No. Track tags are used as a filter for displaying only a subset of the tracks in the editor.
