    1) Library presets don’t retain the new names that I give them. They revert back to the default or whatever I started with as soon as I switch screens to save. The preset itself works fine, but the name doesn’t.

    2) Try as I might, for several releases now, I can’t record MIDI from my keyboard. I am using Oxygen 8. I creat a part, open it up, press record, play my bit… nothing gets recorded. I have tried it without creating a blank part too, but still nothing. Please tell me what I missing, because I really can’t find the solution.

    3) when using FLstudio as a VSTi, projects will not re open the next time. The screen just stays blank except for the wizard (which I LOVE, by the way) and the only way to get them to open is to open another project first. then open the one with FL in it. If that is the last one that I am working on, then the next time I open Podium, the screen stays blank except for the wizard. I then have to do this: open project -> choose one without FL plugin -> nothing happens -> close podium -> re open podium -> it opens fine, with the project that I had tried to open last -> then from the file menu I open the one with the FL plug. Strange??? I thought so. Since I have found the way to work around it, it is really not much of a hindrance, but I thought you would probably want to know.
    Cheers.

    This has been reported to me earlier, so I’ll make sure it is fixed for the next release.

    So I am assuming that you can use your keyboard to play the softsynths on the tracks you want to record? The tracks that you want to record to should be record armed (the ‘R’ button). When the record button in the playbar is enabled then the part of the tracks that accept recording is painted with red background. Maybe you need to adjust the punch in/out range?

    If all this appears to be OK, then it is possible that the MIDI driver for your keyboard is providing wrong timestamps. To make Podium ignore the time stamps, select the ‘Ignore time stamps from driver’ in the MIDI interface setup dialog.

    3) when using FLstudio as a VSTi…

    I’ve just downloaded the latest fruit demo, and I can confirm this bug. I will look into it.

    Alright, found the bug. It seems that FL Studio VSTi requires that the host application has an open window, and if not then FL forces the host window to be shown. Not something I would expect from a plugin 😕 and as a result the Podium screen is blank because Podiums normal window open routine is bypassed.

    To solve it Podium will now open its main window before auto-loading the last used project. Fix will be available in 0.98.

    Sounds to me, like the VST just isnt strict enough. Very naughty for plug-ins to affect the host like that.

    Wow, that’s wierd for a plug to do that, isn’t it?
    Thanx for your answers. You have been more than helpful, as usual, and I really appreciate it.
