Topic: Two problems using Poise (H-man, please read this)

LP,

I have been able to use multiple kits accross multiple instances of Poise (1093) by dragging the intstrument repeatedly onto the track lane.

Note that Podium scans this pluging and creates 16 (midi input) versions however if you open the device settings these have no outputs (or inputs from the mixer).

I don’t use these as I have grown acustomed to dragging the midi input between tracks.

Maybe Frits can shed some ligjt on this. I bet it is covered serveral times in the forum somewhere.

Note that copying and renaming the .dll seems to work as well but it’s not necessary IMO.

2. The second one, mainly poise related and no Podium (I think). I noticed that in this new version from yesterday (1.093) Poise don’t load the samples when you close and open again the project in Podium. It gives the error:

Poise: There was an error while restoring chunk data. (Count not load Pad Data)

Okay, not getting that one. Regardless of whether I choose to embed the samples in the project file or not, they come back fine when I reload the Podium beta.

I’ll keep stuffing around. Please post any interesting findings.

I’m not entirely sure I understand what you’re describing :wink:, but here goes:

With Poise, you can have up to 16 MIDI inputs and 16 stereo-pair audio outputs, no problem. 🙂

I downloaded your project file and noticed both of the midi tracks you programmed are played through Poise’s first stereo output (Poise (#1) Out 1+2).
Since you have outputs 3+4 selected on track 4, I guess you wanted to split the outputs of your two MIDI channels – for this you need to assign the correct output channel to whichever drum pads you need to.

In this picture, I assigned the two samples (hi-hat open & closed) triggered by the MIDI clip on track 2 to Poise’s output pair no. 2. You do this by dragging the ‘control’ I encircled red on Poise’s GUI up/down.

Right, I hope this helps a little. I don’t know what you mean by “I tried to create another preset in the Library and assign one preset to Track1 and other to Track2“, however, the error you get in your screenshot is normal, since you tried to assign two presets to one plug-in at once!

Another thing – you can, of course, also place MIDI clips on the tracks Poise outputs audio to.

About your second problem, it’s probably best to ask Shannon (Poise developer) about that. 😕
I can only say I had no such error when loading your project file and the samples you embedded played just fine…

About the first problem is that I’d like use the Poise’s multiple inputs (and no outputs) with drums view for each input. In the example I uploaded I want use “the drums view” for both inputs, and no with the piano roll. That’s my problem.

The ! error appears because you have two tracks with a library preset assigned. That can lead to possible conflicts, since the plugin current settings then would be stored twice. You can solve it by creating a drum kit preset that is not a library preset. This requires some manual setup of the preset objects. You can see how this works with the “Kit Template” Drumatic preset in the Freebees example project. This setup is a bit complex, so it is not a solution that I can recommend.

Another possibly simpler solution can be used if you don’t need to send the two drum tracks to separate Poise MIDI inputs: Select the Poise (#1)(01) track and activate “use as group track”. Now you can create any number of child tracks which all will use the drum editor, but they will all play into the (01) input.

I’m not happy with the current method of setting up drum maps in Podium, so that is something I’m going to revise in a later update. I’m thinking about a solution where you don’t have to have the drum kit preset assigned to a track to activate the drum map editor on that track.

I’ve talked with Shannon already, and now I’ve a new version of Poise, where the bug is fixed.

Is that the bug where changes in the plugin is not saved when doing a save project in Podium?
