ZynewaveZynewaveIf you can email me the project file that crashes on playback, I will take a look.
What Podium version are you using? How much memory do you have on your PC?
ZynewaveThanks for reporting this bug. It’s fixed in the next 3.2.6 release. The bug first appeared in 3.2.5, and it was an oversight in my work on transforming the code to C++11.
ZynewaveHi Mickaël,
I have not completed my revision of the plugin load system, so I don’t expect the issues with Kontakt have been solved. Once I do feel I have fixed the stability issues with Kontakt I will mention it in the release notes. I have just returned to Podium development after a longer period where I’ve been involved with other projects, so I’m going to start out by tackling some of the smaller features I have on my list.
ZynewaveThe final release is now uploaded and posted on the blog.
ZynewaveI might be a bit off topic here. Recently i was presented with the warning “plugin…illegal…disabled”.
But there was another message I have not seen before-“preset size exceeds allowable limit of 1mb”.
Could this be a cause of certain plugins not working?
Is it easy to increase the allowable limit? Seems reasonable that 1 mb is quite small these days.
Podium allows for presets up to 256MB. I can’t find the “preset size exceeds…” text in Podium. Could it be the plugin that showed that message? Which plugin was it?
ZynewaveHi, I gave beta8 a test (32-bit only on Win 8.1 and XP), set preferences to look at a folder with four Metronome sounds, each at a different sample rate. They all played back correctly at original pitches as hoped and expected.
Thanks for the thorough testing Nicholas.
Oh yeah, I tried thinking about uses for the Scalpel tool in the audio editor. (I only mentioned it before because I assumed it was mismapped.) Really it should split or slice things up… but it doesn’t seem worth the hassle to duplicate arrangement view functionality. So, could the Scalpel button just be hidden by default?
I had forgot that the scalpel tool actually has a specific function in the sound editor. It draws a straight line between the click down/release points, where the pencil tool draws a freehand line. I’ve updated the tooltips for the pencil, eraser and scalpel tools so that they display correct information when shown in the sound editor.
ZynewaveZynewaveI don’t have experience with Xpand2, so I’m not sure what could be wrong. From what I’ve read, it is a multi-timbral sound module. If it has multiple audio outputs then the plugin should be imported with separate MIDI/audio mappings. Otherwise check that your MIDI keyboard is sending on the same channel as the MIDI channel selected in the plugin.
ZynewaveTry to create a project with Hybrid 3 in Podium Free. Save the project, exit Podium Free, open Podium Demo and then load the same project. Does Hybrid 3 then work?
ZynewaveZynewaveIt is most likely because the samplerate set in the arrangement is different than the samplerate of the sound files. Samplerate conversion is something I’m working on, but it is not yet supported in Podium.
ZynewaveCan you provide more details? Does it crash, can you open the editor, is there any sound?
It’s possible there is problem with multiprocessing of the plugin. Try disabling the ‘multiprocessing’ option in the Podium engine preferences and test again.
ZynewaveThe links seem fine to me, all three of them 🙂
ZynewaveBeta8 is now uploaded, and that is hopefully the last beta before I’ll release 3.2.5.
I have been experimenting with sample-rate conversion, and I chose to integrate the r8brain-free-src library in Podium. It is created by Aleksey Vaneev of Voxengo. Link:

I needed SRC to complete the newly added support for custom metronome sounds. Now the metronome sound files will play at their original pitch no matter which sample-rate you use in your arrangements. So far the metronome is the only place where I use the SRC, but in future Podium versions I’ll work on supporting SRC for resampling of sound files, and on sound events placed in arrangements.
