MLSAfter a little research, I found this plugin bundle with the Virtual MIDI keyboard “Quickeys”:
http://www.tobybear.de/p_midibag.html
It’s very simple but it works and can also be used to remap a “real” keyboard.
In Podium I’ve tried it with the plugin manager Wusik VM (Podium does not support MIDI plugin), but you may also use it with CopperLan.
With Wusik VM, Quickeys window must be open. You can play a midi sequence in the track but you can’t record notes (audio only).
With CopperLan I haven’t tried but it’s probably so much easier, because you just have to set the MIDI input & output.
To record notes with Wusik VM & Quickeys you can use this:
It’s an audio to midi plugin converter. It works in real time, but also lets you record a MIDI file that you can import later in Podium.
I know, the process is a bit convoluted and it becomes tedious to record and import whenever the midi sequence. This is what I found …
MLSForgive my ignorance, but I understood almost nothing of what you have been discussing so far. 
However, if I can help …
Can you please tell me which plugin you are using and tell me the procedure to be followed? In this way we can solve this issue once and for all!
MLSAs you’ve read in previous posts, Podium does not have a virtual keyboard.

i am unable to add any vst into the project
What do you mean exactly?
Before you start a new project you must scan the plugins. Then, simply drag the plugin from the list (“Device” tab in “Inspector panel”) in the timeline and Podium add the track with the instrument. If you have already added the track, just click on the drop-down menu “Source” and choose the instrument you want.
If after scanning you have no plugins in the list, then it’s a problem.

With these prices, of course! 😀
I spent €68 (about $90) for my MIDI keyboard. It’s very simple but does its job.
This is the website (in Italian):

For anyone interested in making a comparison with the prices in the U.S. or in other countries.

Why?
@alex wrote:
– Currently, Podium adds plugins in insert slots in the wrong direction (it should be towards the fader, not from it).
It’s a matter of point of view. The Master Channel is always in the first position (top) so the plug-ins are added according to the principle “from the track to the Master” (from bottom to top). So it’s correct, at least according to this interpretation. I admit that it is strange, but at least it’s original. 🙂
MLSOK. At least we found that the plugins are 32-bit.
Evidently Podium Demo is more efficient than Podium Free. 😕
CPU rate during recording (or before you start it)? It could be an overload problem.
MLSIt was only a hypothesis. If you are using Podium 32-bit, then you must also use 32-bit plugins.
In my case there is no problem because everything is 32-bit.
Several users had problems with Podium Free and plugins on 64-bit systems. An example is this:
http://www.zynewave.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=22459#22459
It is not specified if those plugins are 32 or 64 bits, however, they’re compatible with both systems. I guess they’re 32-bit, but in rare cases, the installer may install plugins version according to your operating system.
The only thing you can do is try them with the Podium Demo x64.
Try them first without and then with JBridge (see the Download page on this website). If they work without JBridge, then they’re 64 bit plugins and you can’t use them with Podium Free.
I don’t know what else to try.
MLSIf you mean two MIDI devices, you can’t.
In Podium Free “MIDI interface setup is limited to one input and one output.”
MLSSobaka,
Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!
This is the right way to do features requests.
The request must be accompanied by a suggestion or an explanation like this.
Among other things, I agree on almost everything you’ve posted.

– Transpose : in Semitones
For a single audio clip, zPitch should be use this value.
Other parameter should be add for “Local” time stretch: – BPM
For “Global” time stretch: the BPM of all clips match the project tempo.
If the BPM value is not set then no time stretch for that clip.

MLSHi Azure.
I assume that plugins are these:
http://global.focusrite.com/plug-ins/scarlett-plug-in-suite/downloads
Downloaded and tested: they work.
Which OS do you use? I use XP 32 bit.
If it’s 64 bit, it could cause some problems with Podium and plugins, both 32bit. Otherwise, I don’t know.
We expect help from those who know more than me! 😀
Cheers.

I believe Me le suono! has explored this.

I mentioned Halo because recently I heard about the “Halo 4 Remix Contest”:
where anyone can remix a track from the soundtrack of the video game.
Just sign up, download the stems and you’re done … or almost, because Italy is not among the countries that can participate :evil:. Maybe because in Italy Halo sold poorly.
BTW, I don’t know if it’s still open … it can be an opportunity.
Ah…In Italy there is the SIAE but … they are thieves licensed. :-#

I’ve been hoping to come across such a plugin.
Me too!
I always use this plugin as a instrument.
With the audio material that is very simple because the instrument and the clip using two different “routes” and therefore they do not “fight”.
With midi sequences, I create a Group Track with the FreeZZZZZer and then I insert the tracks of the other tools I want to use as “childs” of the Group Track. In this way, the effect is applied in cascade (is english, boh?) to all the instruments and I can choose to play the FreZZZZZer live or with a midi sequence.
Almost always use this method for other plugins (vocoder and autotune…), it will not be efficient but is simple and most importantly, it works.
MLSTry this: FreeZZZZZer or FreeZZZZZer2.
I don’t know what use might have, but it’s too funny! 😀
