ppw72Thanks for your help Frits. I was heading along those lines but putting the parameters in the wrong location. There are only a handful of controllers that I use apart from the ones you have already included so setting them up manually is no drama as you only have to do it once. If you’re planning to add any then expression, (CC11), volume (CC7), pan and sustain, (CC64), might be handy.
ppw72Hi, I also have a query regarding midi file import. If I create a midi file in another program, eg. Sibelius, that contains midi messages, (expression, program changes etc.), and then import the file into Podium it displays the note event track plus separate child tracks containing the midi messages, which is all good. However these child message tracks are not relayed to the plug-in that the track is mapped to therefore only the note events are played. As an example I have a midi track created in Sibelius that contains several program changes to access different articulations of an instrument bank in Kontakt 2, as well as dynamics and expression etc. Is there a way of setting up Podium so it recognises the midi data in imported files?
ppw72Thanks very much Frits, that did the trick. I have another query concerning VSTi’s. I’m using Kontakt 2 and would like to be able to bounce render individual channels within a midi file that is assigned to one instance of kontak. I’ve noticed that when you open an imported midi file Podium automatically assigns kontakt as the output VSTi and assigns each midi track to individual channels of Kontakt, which is great. However I can only manage to render channel 1 and not the channels further down the tree without having to assign another instance of kontakt for each channel, which is a bit cumbersome. Is there a more efficient way to do this as one of the main reasons I’m considering purchasing Podium is for the excellent bounce rendering function as well as the fact you can import a midi file created in another program, (like sibelius), and have it retain all of it’s timing and tempo information. Every other program I’ve tried always changes the tempo to the host’s clock.
