SerendipityYeah, Podianer RULES! 
Serendipity😯 :frustrated:
Well, I read it earlier and that is all I have to say.
Steinberg = :clown:
SerendipityThank you! Excellent tutorial!
SerendipityAllright, I have a few comments, or questions rather, on the ezdrummer tutorial.
I may have had some light experience a while back with Podium and ezdrummer but let’s forget that and see me as a total newbie. 🙂
First you use all the output mappings but no input mapping even though there are 16 of them. Then you place the midi file on the first output track? When I first saw that I thought, huh? Isn’t that track supposed to be used if you bounce the outputs to separate tracks? And when we’re on the subjects of separate tracks, wouldn’t it have been more natural to bounce to separate tracks instead of a stereo track since the video is about a multi-output instrument? And what would have happened to that midi file then? Can you have midi and audio on the same track at the same time or am I totally confused?
Well now mr. teacher can you explain that? 😆
SerendipityGreat!
It’s just the principle of how to set up a multitimbral synth we’re after so which one you use shouldn’t matter.
Then we announce the video tutorials on KVR and watch all hell break loose! 😆
Edit: Ouch, the word is out already! (runs for cover) 😈
SerendipityWell, setting up a multitimbral synth like sampletank, kontakt or whatever that has a couple of midi tracks routed to it, each on its own midi channel and playing its own instrument in the synth.
This might be a bit different from the ezdrummer tutorial since it’s more about setting up multiple midi inputs than just multiple audio outputs. It might also be redundant, I don’t know. Personally I only use one midi track into ezdrummer. However, you might not, so you’ll be the judge if such a tutorial might already be covered by the ezdrummer tutorial.
SerendipityHoly smokes batman!!! 😯
Ok, where to begin? I have so many thoughts spinning in my head right now and I’m not sure how to formulate them in proper english even though I think I have a pretty good grasp of it. So, excuse my ramblings…
For one who dabbles in Podium from time to time but never really get anything to stick in the old brainer (when frustration sets in I usually revert to something “simpler” to relieve my bloodpressure :lol:) I find these videos indispensable! Say what you will about a manual and the wiki but videos like these will probably make a bigger difference to those who have problems understanding this “beast” of a program (and I say that in the best possible way). We all know of the “complaints” on other forums, from newbies and whatnot. This would be a perfect source to show them. “See it’s not that difficult!”
However, that would probably take a “few” more videos and how many more here have the skills to make them apart from yourself? I know I don’t….yet anyway. I simply don’t know Podium well enough and probably not how to use that video software as well. I feel that the pressure shouldn’t be on your shoulders alone but if you find that you have the time to make more then that’s wonderful! It’s just so easy to fall back on that first volunteer 😆
What kind of software did you use? What format is it? If others make such videos I think making them in the same format would be good. No sound but that’s ok with me. Less filesize and all.
I have been away from Podium for a couple of months and I find myself having to re-learn much of it…again. I admit I haven’t really followed the development closely even though I usually check the forums briefly every day. I also admit that I still find many parts of Podium cumbersome, so I jump from host to host never really acheiving anything. Well, maybe it’s not Podium but me who’s to blame.
Anyway, one suggestion for a video might be how to deal with VSTi’s in Podium. How to set them up, multitimbral or not. How to deal with presets and banks and all those alternatives in the preset panel. I know I’ve had problems with that. I thought I had it covered and then I realized that I didn’t know much at all!
Sends and returns might be another topic to cover.
So, great job man! 😀
PS to Frits. I really miss the “hug” or “thumbs up” emoticons from the KVR boards right now. Can we get something similar please? 😆

In the middle of the page, maximum zoom. The building that looks like the top part has been bent to the left a bit. I live in a small town/city called Ljungby (the L is not pronounced) in the south of Sweden.
SerendipityOhh..ok 😳
Thanks Frits.

I guess it was worth a try (at least) to help out with the PDF but the Wiki is wider and deeper in terms of how it brings your efforts as the developer and other Podium user efforts into one easily accesible place for all. 8)
Bummer! Thanks for the effort though 🙂
Unfortunately, as the first post in this thread states, I don’t like reading on the screen, I much prefer paper manuals so I guess I’ll have to continue making my own 😯 8)

Are you registered on other phpBB forums?
Yes I am. I’ve just now tried 5 different phpBB forums on the net and they all work on both computers. Finally I tried once again to log in here with the “other” computer without any luck. I just don’t understand this!
SerendipityYes, I’ve tried that link as well with the same results. It just returns me to the first page.
Since it works with one computer but not the other, both with Firefox, one might assume the fault lies with Firefox on the non working machine. However I can’t for the life of me figure out what causes the problem. I just hoped that you or anybody else might know what to do about it. Firefox is kind of new to me so I’m not sure what to do. The thing is I have no problems anywhere else on the net when logging in to a site. 😕
SerendipityWell, if I start my browser and point it to http://www.zynewave.com/forum/index.php I see the four forums: Releases, Future, Support and General Chat. At the bottom I write my Username and Password, I put a checkmark in the “Log me on automatically each visit” box and then I click on the Log in button.
The page updates and…nothing has happened! Everything is still exactly the same except for the address field in my browser which states: http://www.zynewave.com/forum/index.php?sid=1c710fdaf690a36f2d8a8c914dedc3d3
I can’t see my Username in the Who is online box. I’m NOT logged in, there’s no checkmark in the “Log me on automatically each visit” box and I can’t see the VIP forum. I’ve tried logging in without the “Log me on…..” checkmark but it doesn’t matter one way or the other.
SerendipityThis is nice, thank you!
