GPO and EWQLSO? What is this?

I’ve also configured a ‘GPO insert’ mapping for non-multitimbral use, which is handy to add e.g. a piano to the arrangement without having to set up multiple tracks for audio and MIDI.

Sounds interresting! 😀

I voted “engine related”

I feel features such as sample rate conversion, dithering, parameter smoothing (to avoid zipper noise), are of the most importance.

Furthermore, audio event fade in/out, level, crossfade options, and inlined EQ/Dynamics for audio tracks are also very desirable.

By the way things have developed, and by the looks of the future, I feel very confident about the direction Podium is taking. 8)

I also am very pleased about the planned multi core/processor support.

Thumbs up to Conquistador for this initiative! 😀

First of all Frits, congrats on your new dual core system!

Multicore/multiprocessor support… This is fantastic news! 😀

Are there any users out there that have a dualcore/multiprocessor system? Anyone thinking of getting one?

I’ve been running on two 600mhz Klamath CPU’s since 1999, and I’m still enjoyning the benefits of having two two physical processors “under the bonnet”. For me, there’s no doubt. I’m going dual for my next workstation, fanless of course 8)

So, to put it short: “One time dual, always dual… Because two is better than one!”

I’m borrowing a Nord Rack 3 (whohoo, lucky me! :D) and I’m finally getting to know Podium well these days.
Unfortunately, Podium crashes often and without warning most of the time.
I’ve made two screen shots from the most recent incident.

This is the first dialog box that appears:

Then, this one:

I’ve discovered that Podium streams the sound through it’s mixer from my sound card inputs, even if audio mixing for the track in question isn’t enabled. It seems to me when I enable audio mixing for such a track, the risk for a crash is at it’s greatest.

It is worth mentioning that this *can* be caused by some bad memory in my very old Dual 600MHz puter, so I’m not blaming it all on Podium alone.

Is there a parameter or setting I can invoke to tell Podium to create a crash log?

About the graphics corruption:
Yes, it remained corrupted until I exited Podium, and yes I discovered it after doing a few operations. I do remember using plugins when this happened. I know that VAZ Modular and Bionic Delay was there, other than that I can’t tell for sure.
This graphics corruption has not occurred since last time. It may have been a random incident with the drivers for my display adapter.

As you can see in the screenshot, the graphics in the Time Signature and tempo plus the Loop range windows has become garbled somehow.
I did not notice how this happened, and it’s the first time i’ve seen this behavior in Podium. If it happens again, and if I’m able to reproduce this condition, I’ll let you know.
