Sorry, but I don’t think that we could see the year 3000 😛 . You could simplify a little erasing the two/three first numbers.
Podium 9.1 instead Podium 2009.1
Podium 12.4 instead Podium 2012.4I don’t think that it would be obvious that 9 and 12 represent the year of release, in which case we’re back at the potential confusion that 9 and 12 is major incremental version numbers.
I would agree that it is not immediately obvious
And I do respect your reasoning
But I would like to suggest the 9.xxx versioning for this year is probably adequate for the vast majority of users and a simple explaination “somewhere” should clear up any residual confusion

Is it now possible to chain a VST Instrument to a VST Effect on the same Podium channel and route MIDI conntrol to both the Instrument and Effect from the same MIDI keyboard?
Are you referring to the discussion we had here?
http://www.zynewave.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1096I don’t think I’ve made changes to the way input mappings are handled since this discussion.
Yes – that was the discussion – I’ll try the solution you outlined in that thread …
Thanks,

pj geerlingsI think I’m finally ready to resume music making 😉
And …
It looks like Podium has come quite a long way since I last looked at it (!)
Is it now possible to chain a VST Instrument to a VST Effect on the same Podium channel and route MIDI conntrol to both the Instrument and Effect from the same MIDI keyboard?

Oooh, nice find. I’ll fix that for the upcoming 1.79.
Maybe you should wait until 1.80 …

Podium must not be an application for everybody.Best piece of advice yet… Here is an analogy…
I do appreciate the responses so far – while I am very new to Podium, it hasn’t taken me long to realize just how wonderfully unique this user group really is. And on that same note I am completely amazed at how responsive Frits is!!
What I still don’t know is the degree to which outside pressure will change all of this. New voices (including mine) bring with them potentially new goals. There is always the chance that …
Oh never mind, my wife and daughter both say I worry too much …
I look forward to the continued success of Podium!!

pj geerlingsI read through that thread and I just finished posting something in the “Future” forum on this very subject

I guess what you are looking for is a way to assign the same MIDI input (your keyboard) to both NuBiPlus and Spinner. Podium restricts a MIDI input object to only be assigned on one track, to avoid confusion, and to make it easy to drag the mapping from track to track without having to unassign it from the old track. A solution for you would be to create a second MIDI input object mapped to the same MIDI input. You can then assign MIDI1 to Spinner and MIDI2 to NuBiPlus. In effect you duplicate the MIDI input from your keyboard into the two MIDI input objects. As a consequence, both Spinner and NuBiPlus receives the notes and CC#1 messages. This may be undesirable if NuBiPlus reacts to CC#1 or Spinner reacts to note messages.
Will this setup do what you want to achieve? …
I think it just might!

Specifically I need to use MIDI CC #1 from a keyboard to control the speed of Spinner’s rotors and at the same time use the MIDI Note On/Off messages to “run” NuBiPlus.
Is this routing already available in Podium?
Can you set your keyboard up so that CC#1 and the note on/offs output on different MIDI channels?
My test keyboards are pretty basic so I think not…
I could be wrong, however

Yes, you can automate both instrument and effect plugins with MIDI parameters. What is not supported yet, is routing MIDI output from one plugin to another. This means that plugins whose main function is to output MIDI to drive other sound generating plugins are not usable with Podium currently.
I may be confused here but I thought that automating parameters on a track is different than using MIDI CC#s from external hardware to control track parameters.

Why take a step backwards and implement a feature that really comes from a h/w historical perspective. The current implementation of Podium is so much more powerful …
I agree with this!
And, I too am interested to see where zMatrix will take Podium. My only concern is the current arrangement might be too great an obstacle for a new user (like myself).

I would have started it a long time ago, but there have been so many requests for other “standard” features that I felt I needed to get them out of the way before starting on some of the “unexpected” features.
I could be wrong but I think being able to add an effect plugin (or two) on an existing track is an expected feature these days.
If “zMatrix” is really cool it may offset some of the (IMHO) missing basic functionality.

Not far to go now, I have pretty much finished the text. All that is left are the images for the tutorial. I will get back to finishing that early next week. 😉
I won’t hold you to this schedule but this is great news!!

… I am putting together a drum map tutorial and I am 60 – 70% of the way there. I use Stylus RMX but of course the principles applied should work with any drum VSTi.
I have Stylus RMX myself – I would really like to see your drum map tutorial when it is ready!
Thanks!
