Topic: Midi Maps

What do you want to mean with that? Can you detail me an example about what you want to achieve? I ask this because the term “midi map” sounds a little confusing for me

To link a Keyboard controler – software usaually lists what keyboards they support. The support is via a midi map
– if the app doesn’t have one – until they do usually you can make one yourself for what ever midi keyboard you have.

if you know how that is for that app.. that is the kicker.

So, I know how to make one for Reason don’t know how to make one for Podium… do you? and would you mind sharing the knowledge if you do?

BTW – LiquidProj3ct – I was just reading another thread you started requesting requests for tuts on Podium. Still taking requests?

I haven’t seen your video tuts sorry – my online time is somewhat limited so i down them and watch any i find offline.

But – do you happen to have a tut on Surround sound mixing and 3D sound for stereo and Surround Sound?

Panning techiques for both etc etc.
I read what you stated about GSnap for live – thanks for the tip.
I take you would know.

I always have a ton of questions and my brain is like a sponge wanting more knowledge in all areas. Including Podium as its lookingmore and more like I’m going to get the full version – very soon i hope.

Please add your video tut home page link so i can check them out next time i’m up online if you don’t mind
– if you reply of course. ;0)

chase

Edit: I just checked the Reason Manual and will post a link to it – it has instructions for how to do this and you may understand what i mean better.

They also call it a remote midi map

aaah here’s the link to a zip of their manual – Reason v5 Operations Manual

Go to the last pages – Creating your own remote midi map I think it is called. (memory faded fast on the heading title lolI’ve got twenty things going on right this second)

let me know if you then know what i mean and how to do it for Podium.

Hey LiquidProj3ct – that was quick.

If you want control Podium interface with MIDI messages, you cannot in the most of cases. You could control the mixer if your midi controller support mackie emulation. ATM only play and stop button are mapped.

You can, however, control plugins if they’ve MIDI learn.

hmmm, I see…

This is one of the keyboards I have – E-MU X- Board 25

and what I am refering to creating a map for, for use with Podium…

The pitch bend links straight up – I was wanting to link up the 16 controlers – which with vsts as you mentioned i can do.

But from what you are saying i can’t link one or map one of the 16 to say on of the pans or volume on a track in the mixer in Podium currently…
Am I understanding what you’re this correctly?

Thanx for your link btw – I’ll check out your tuts.

No surround card – use yoru onboard – your onboard has 5.1 or 7.1 doesn’t it – onboard the MB i mean… be a pain to take out your Stereo Card but – you could experiment with surround if you have it onboard.
and make a tut on it… ;0)

Just a thought mind you.

and again – thanks for the quick reply

Hey Thanx LiquidProj3ct

– No worries about the response time as I wasn’t back online till today myself.

Looking forward to seeing your new tutorial – and would love to hear about this new vst your working on when you have time.

Zynewave has mentioned he is going to be working on a new vst as well for Surround sound – a leveler / panner i believe. Which for me – once i pick up the full version will be a huge welcome.

I tried some of AcousticMod vst for surround and – a couple crashed Podium when attempting to remove them from the track… so as mentioned I’m looking forward to seeing what Zynewave comes up with in this area.

Since you deal with Stereo – as far as VST’s go – what do you recomend for Stereo 3D? (That is light on the cpu consumption yet gives professional sound quality and abilities that is.)

Heading over to check out what you have up for tuts now as well. Have to down load them and check them out off line but will for sure.

and thanx again LiquidProj3ct for the replies.

…recording with microphones inside a plastic head’s ears).

lol… for some reason – i just can’t see many singers using that mic set up.

but can you imagine the look on there faces if you did set up a mike system like that – then again – might make for a good prop as aopposed tot he standard mic and stand. (Sorry had to share that thought as i still have weird visions about this running through my head with some of the major acts of today…)

I thought for sure there were other 3D stereo vst out there – i remember seeing something some where.

I take a look around again – it’s called 3D something something so i know i did.

Sad to hear about the priority of that leveler vst… my fingers are still crossed though.

I’ll look into that plugin you mention H3D is the name – (I’m on the page in another tab)

Wow they did do that – it’s called Dummy Head Recording (link is to the wiki page on it)

I’ll get back to you on that plug in i ran into – haven’t found it while sitting here but will look further.

thcilnnahoj – Do you know of a good Leveler /Panner for 7.1 surround – a vst that will work with Podium?

thanx

Hey thcilnnahog

Hope all is well with you and yours…

Well, the use of this ‘dummy head’ is to create a spatial image of the room and the musicians in it for the listener. So the head (and ears) is the listener’s – thus the singer wouldn’t be the one wearing the microphones usually

Well my weird thoughts – since i use to do roadie work were allong the lines of doing a mic set up with a buch of these dummy heads and having the singer sing into them – can you imagine Christine Agulara or some one else famous not knowing – walking up on stage durring a concert seeing these in place of the usual mics and stage crew says – whats the problem – go ahead – sing.

Well it was funner going threw my head as a thought
– doesn’t print up as good.

But then it gave me another thought of doing some 3d with these things as mic stand “heads” and were it goes from there i don’t know… just weird artist visions I get at times I guess.

No, unfortunately, besides the ones by AcousMod (which you already tried) – they’re made with SynthEdit, so I guess the performance and stability is not up to par.

Possible – though i heard SythEdit updated to a new version Syth 2 and i heard some good reviews on it – but I don’t know for sure.

This is just an innocent guess, but I assume a simple multi-channel leveler plug-in would be easy to write for someone experienced (it wouldn’t even need a GUI). My knowledge of programming and DSP is very limited, otherwise I’d give it a try myself. C/C++ still seems totally alien to me compared to other languages…

I was thinking the same thing – I might just make one myself – but this morning actually in thinking this same thought – I opened up Podium and yah know Fritz did such a good job on the lay out and all…

And i thought – gosh if it were a vst – that would put it after the meters and such – not pre – and were i’d want it is pre – or incorporated into the mixer track slot itself – like it should be.

Then i thought – why don’t i see if Fritz will sell me Podium – I mean really sell me Podium – lock stock and barrel.

He stated he’s been busy on other things for months –
Doesn’t make money with it
Doesn’t have time for it anymore…

I guess he is busy with a new job – a couple hot mommas keeping him up all hours of the night and of course and who could blame him – the hobby app gets set aside… gathers dust…

Like a model airplane that one starts but thing happen – the wife the kids – the girlfriend the dog – the cat – maybe a fish tank too… take presidence over finishing or putting those new engines or adding a new part to the model plane.

No matter how much you want to work on it – it always gets a – I’ll do it next week when i have more time – the intent the best but the time and what ever else – just takes too much attention – so it never gets done.

So… what do you say Fritz – How much for Podium – you can keep the name – I’ll of course maintain your credit as the original developer.
And – I’ll take on the hobby call it something else
– a half built model plane so to speak… and see what i can do how far i can take it…

I know i added some humour in their but seriously
– I know it’s your baby – you started it did a great job but by your own words and though your intent is best you just don’t have time to give it that it deserves anymore.
– your time for other things is more important and need your attention now.
I completley understand – it’s not a bad thing but,

I’d really like to take on Podium – see what i can do with it

So be nice – How much for the source code and rights to it?

I’m not a company – not rich
just a person with an interest and willingness to try.
And hope i would do you and Podium proud and take it to new heights.
Don’t you want that for your baby…
Then set it free… to grow and flurish.
At a small price of course – but
its a real offer… think about it… ;0) 😀
