Topic: Pitch UP

Hi,

when I click on the Pitch Up section in the Freebees project I get a blank grey edit screen…is that correct??

No that does not sound correct. Take a look at this screenshot: http://www.zynewave.com/images/Screen1.png
I assume this is the arrangement you refer to. Double clicking the ‘Pitch Up’ sequence event should open an editor window with a curve resembling what is shown in the miniature sequence event. Is your editor window completely blank?

Also how do you mix the track down and save it as an wav file?

If you enter one of the freebees arrangements, just select the main record switch (next to the play button). Disable looping (to be able to render the entire song without loop recording). Press play, and then the audio events on the bounce tracks should record the song output.

Also how do you import wav files and midi files?

Easiest way is to open a list window (Ctrl+L), browse to the folder with your wav or midi files, and drag them onto tracks.

Why isn’t there a manual for 90 euros?

The online Podium guide is the manual. On the download page you can download a zipped copy of the Zynewave website, including the Podium guide and presentation videos, for offline viewing. If there are specific areas in the guide that you find lacking, let me know and I will try to expand the guide or at least write explanations here in the forum.

Glad to hear you’re making progress!

I had trouble with the WAV output and found that I needed to convert it to 16 bit. What’s the default?

The sound files used in the freebees project are all set to 16 bit. When you create new sounds in Podium (either by drawing a new audio event or using a ‘new sound’ menu), the bit resolution will be set according to the options on the audio page in the preferences dialog. The default behaviour is that the bit resolution used by your audio driver will be used when creating new sounds.

I did have it working when I tried the demo….I did a full registery tidy up ….would that cause a problem??

The Podium settings are not stored in the registry, so that should not be a problem. The blank editor could be caused by a corrupt/incomplete setup file. This should only happen if Podium crashed or the PC was powered off while exiting the Podium application. If you have been experimenting with customizing the sequence profiles, you may also unintentionally have cleared the curve profile. You can reset the setup file to default using the ‘load default setup’ in the setup menu. After this you will need to reconfigure your selections in the MIDI/audio interfaces dialog.

Also should the keyboard, on the left hand side of the editor, sound when you click on the keys?

If you open the editor by double clicking on a note sequence on a track with e.g. a softsynth, and monitoring has been activated, then clicking on the keyboard should play notes with the duration of the current quantize snap setting. Moving notes around in the editor should also audition notes.
