Are there any plans for Podium to move in this direction ?
I’m thinking of the fantastic things in FLS (piano roll editor) which make knocking out interesting patterns so quick and fun…chords, rhythmic chopping etc. etc.
I’d love for Podium to become my all powerful, stable (and Sysex compatible :)) music creation centre.

Not exactly sure what you mean-do you mean tools for midi algorythmic composition, or just more and better tools in general for using midi in Podium? 😕

Could you try to create a new project using the project wizard in 1.66 and see if this causes it to hang?
I did that just now and specified first the RealGuitar2 folder and then my whole vstplugin folder, both worked, no problem-quick import, no hanging.
Any ideas on this? 😕
I downloaded the realguitar2 demo yesterday, and will test it later tonight.
Thanks, that’s all I wanted to know-take your time.

Do you mean to say this is a problem with the new project creation, or did it hang in the project wizard of the previous releases as well?
The problem only appeared with this ver. 166 using the new project creation. The problem never occurred before with the project wizard and/or with previous releases. 😕

Sure can. I’ll get back to you.

- Opening Podium now by default shows a new project start page. Clicking the round button at the top right of the page toggles between the start page and the old browser page.
- Bitmap files can be dragged from Windows explorer onto Podium to load it as background image on the project start page.
- Opening a project with a project stickie note no longer opens the stickie note window. Instead the stickie note button shows the note popup and the button is pulsating.
- Right-clicking on the the drum line headers in the drum map editor shows a ‘Drum Preset Properties’ context menu.
- Changed default color scheme to dark grey background with white text.
- Fix: Plugin presets were not updated with the latest changes when plugins were unloaded with the ‘unload plugins when bounce is activated’ option.
Project start page is great, very quick and useful.
No fuss at all! 🙂
One problem though. The vst scan hangs on Real Guitar 2.dll
and will not finish the scan. I have to use the windows task manager to end the Podium task. (Windows XP Home, SP2)

So it doesn’t work if you try to set an identical arrangement up in your old project?
Correct
Perhaps the eXT mappings in your old project are different than those imported in your new project. Check that the device mapping properties points to the proper eXT file.
No, same mappings. I checked before, and I just re-checked now.
The project where Chord Space didn’t work was only a test, so now that I see that it does/can work with eXT, maybe leave that as it is.
I’d still like to know why I can’t get Chord Space to work using either a group track or sub track as was mentioned before. Weird.
Btw. I’m glad I started on the new project start page. This whole device setup will become easier to administrate.
So am I Frits, so am I. It can only help! 😀

Doesn’t work with ext either
Have you loaded the VSTi version of eXT? I assume you have assigned a MIDI input mapping to the Podium eXT track. Is there an indicator in eXT or Chordspace that shows MIDI is being received? Could be a MIDI channel issue perhaps.
Yes to all questions

That is not supported in Podium yet. MIDI output of a plugin cannot be streamed into other plugins. One of the major features that is still lacking in Podium.
Given this, is this something we could do with Energy XT?
Or… how about using something like minihost or vsthost to contain Chordspace then routing the midi-out from there to a midi-in in Podium?Both solutions would work I think. The easiest would be to use eXT and connect chordspace and your chosen VSTi inside an eXT instance.
WTF? My mistake, it works in the new project below.
I just started a new project and loaded eXT with Chord Space, this time it DOES work. But that’s the only way. 😕

Nope, sorry-I tried that as well! 🙁
Doesn’t work with ext either. BTW- I can get chord space to work in the stand alone version of eXT. Chord Space also works fine in Cubase SX 2.2.

Or you could use a suntrack under the vsti and put playa on the subtrack.
Nope-that doesn’t work either. Nothing happens-no sound, no error messages-nothing.
Doug B@darcyb62 wrote:
I’m not to familiar with chordspace playa but I think you need to put playa in the 1st track, than wrap a group track around and install your vsti. I’ll give it a try tonight if you want.
Ok, I tried the above, but get no sound, and I get the dreaded yellow message that a preset needs to be assigned from the chord space track, which seems impossible.
If you wouldn’t mind giving it a try, I’d sure appreciate it.
Thanks Darcy.

Hmm…I thought that you would set it up same as a vst effect like reverb for that track. In that case, the vsti has a group track over it and the group track has the reverb.
Chord Space has to come before in the chain so that it sends the chord or arpeggio to the vsti.
BTW-what’s a suntrack? Did you mean sub track? 😕
I’ll try your sub-track suggestion, but isn’t the subtrack ‘subordinate’ to the vsti? Because with Chord Space, the vsti has to be subordinate to Chord Space.
