If you quantize midi notes, and should you for whatever reason click on them to quantize again with the same value the notes should not move…correct?
Correct. However, if you put a phantom copy of the sequence on a different time position, quantizing either of the two phantom sequence events may align the note events inside differently.
But I assume your two MIDI sequences are unique, so it could be a bug. Please send me the project file.
It is a copy of a sequence, but I don’t think it’s a phantom copy. Either way why would quantising phantom copies align notes differently? 😕
How would such a process be useful or beneficial?
I used Console on the track but then I tried another synth, EVM Neutron (Free) and the same thing happened.
I am sending over the file now. Thanks.

Only issue is that I cannot drag a midi file from RMX to a track in Podium.
That is correct. It will be possible as soon as I implement dragging of files from Windows explorer onto tracks in Podium.
Great. Looking forward to that. 🙂
ConquistadorFeedback as promised…
No problems using Stylus at all. Only issue is that I cannot drag a midi file from RMX to a track in Podium. Apart from that it seems to work 100%

PS can anyone tell me exactly where in SOS eSub that the Acousmod reviews are? I searched for AcousMod and AcousModules and nothing came up in the SOS search engine…
Hi Super Crunchy.
You can find the information in the “from 32 bit – 64 bit” article under PC Notes. Scroll down for the mini review of Acousmodules creations. 😉
ConquistadorI could not agree more. Marketing is not everything. I certainly prefer to focus on quality and stability instead. Thats why I prefer things the way they are now.
Podium has the features I need. The developer is not tied down to a marketing deal that influences the timing and type of development he can do.
I think we agree. I only used Tracktion as an example as its the closest thing to Podium I can think of. Of course other options exist as well.
We both support Podium and will continue to do so no doubt! 🙂

I’ll start experimenting with inlining the sequence/sound editor windows. I don’t think it will be like the new list page. Rather I will try to put it into the arrangement editor as a new region type. Similar to how the mixer region works. But I may change my mind.
I like the idea of a new region type as well. I suppose the list view is different. If you do change your mind then judging buy the superb state of Podium now I am sure you will make the right decision. 😉
I agree with acousmod as well. 🙂
ConquistadorHi,
I could be wrong but I think Frits did not really want the exposure for Podium yet as he has not fully completed the Podium guide. He may be ready now though.
Also, I am sure Frits would not say no to someone donating a large sum to his marketing needs. It will cost money and a lot of it. As good as Tracktion is, Mackie can distribute it in the US and Europe and Tracktion 2 has had a very heavy marketing excercise behind it with single and double page spreads in most of the major magazines and CM magazine in particular using Tracktion for many of its tutorials in their past issues.
But even with all that exposure the sales of Tracktion no doubt will not touch the sales of Cubase or Sonar simply because of their marketing budget and reach talk less of Podium.
Project 5 version 2 will be demonstrated in over 80 cities over the next few months! See what I mean? 😉
Cubase and Sonar have also been around for about 5 – 10 years at least. Plenty of time to build a user base!
Tracktion has been around since 2002 November I think while Podium was only in existence on the Podium Master CPU 8) at the Frits residence before 2004!
These things really do take time, plenty of money, and a distributor who can get Podium on the shelves of major stores and available to buy from the likes of audiomidi.com for instance.
Frankly I don’t think Frits is too bothered by it all and is happy with the user base he has and the support from people like you and me.
I like things the way they are with the close contact and almost instant responses on the forum from Frits.
I guess it would be sad for Frits to never really enjoy a good financial return for his efforts but then again…I certainly do not want Zynware to be bought out and then we hear nothing for 6 – 9 months and the a new release comes out but eventually that may happen and it may be the only way to get Podium on the big stage.
I am more than happy to keep things the way they are. Frits may not have a price tag for interested distributors to meet. He may consider the control over content and the core support he has now, worth more then the big bucks that may be offered to him.
Podium is such a brilliant piece of work I think a distributor will come up with an offer sooner or later. I guess Frits will cross that bridge or not when he gets to it.
But it would indeed be nice to see a glowing 6 page review of Podium in Soundonsound Magazine. I think it will happen but when Frits is ready…maybe he is?
ConquistadorYour way ahead of me on this stuff Frits! It sounds like Podium has some very clever programming under its surface, well done.
The structure that Podium sits on seems so clean and well coded from the start, I get the impression that you can easily continue to add features well into the future and keep the real time audio engine gapless for instance.
No glitches or gapping. This is one of my favourite features and it really helps my workflow.
I used to think only Live 4 could pull it off until I tried Podium. Live still does not even have PDC which Podium clearly has. I guess they are different packages anyway, but Podium thankfully is much cheaper and has the features I need.
The implementation of the new integrated list view is great, it can be resized as well.
Would I be right to assume you might provide integrated views for the other floating Windows as well, such as the Note Editor and Sound editor?
I noticed that Ctrl +L still brings up the floating view as normal, as does the view > New list window route as well. So it adds to rather than replace the previous floating view…great.
There seems to be plenty of space at the top right area of the arrange page for two more tabs 😉 I say two tabs because I assume the Sound editor and the automation window that pops when clicking on an automation event on a track, share the same view (correct me if I am wrong) otherwise three tabs might be better one for each view… Sound Editor, Automation and Note editor 🙂
Ah that’s it the Curve editor. Just remembered.
Either way keep it up Frits. Impressive stuff. 8)

from what I recall, with multithreaded applications, the OS does some intelligent farming out of the process load across dual processors. I could be wrong…
DSP
Not sure but I think you are right. I wonder if Podium can operate as a multithreaded application? Maybe the gui split that Frits spoke of earlier in this thread falls into that category.

Cheers Frits!

I have not yet had the chance to test Podium on dual CPU systems, or on the Windows64 beta OS.
When running on dual CPU-systems, the engine (and thus all plugin processing) will only utilize one CPU. The Podium UI will however be able to run on the second CPU, so you can consume close to 100% on the engine CPU without causing the UI to get sluggish.
The Podium application uses only standard Windows functions, and the installer is using the Microsoft Windows Installer database, so there should be no problems running it on the new 64-bit OS.
Its actually quite strange really. The Podium gui is so well coded already! I was running a fairly heavy project with Stylus RMX which alone has a 1GB of RAM recommendation to run, anyway I glanced at the Podium CPU meter and to my astonishment it was on 90+% with no GUI slowdown at all!
The Podium install process is also very quick. The hard drive footprint is tiny for such a capable package. 🙂
Great news about the installer. Unless you beat me to it within the next 12 weeks I will be able to provide some feedback on windows x64 usage on a dual processor machine.
I suppose it would be nice for Podium to share the engine load or plug in processing onto a second processor maybe something for the future…8)
Maybe other users have already tried using Podium on x64 running on dual processors.
Thanks for the feedback anyway. 8)
