    The problem is connected with the wineasio driver, the source of which is available here. I think this looks very much like any other windows asio driver. I doubt much linux knowledge is required, but it is hard to debug ofcourse when you don’t have a machine present. If you have a spare machine try out a livedisk of ubuntu (in any of it’s variants) or do a wubi install: it installs ubuntu as an application in windows. No repartitioning needed, and you can just as easily remove it again later on. You can do a wubi install from the livedisc.

    I’m willing to put in some effort here, so just let me know if you need something.

    I had a quick look at the wineasio sourcecode. The problem may lie in what is returned by the ASIOGetSamplePosition() function. Can you please go to the Podium interfaces dialog report page and send/post the report for the wineasio driver?

    However i have now problem. Sometimes if i move super fast notes on pianoroll its messing up pretty bad. Like 5 or more notes keep playing and it wont stop until i stop podium engine.

    Any clue?

    A common problem referred to as “hanging notes”. Make sure the notes you entered in the editor don’t overlap.

    Edit; Oh boys.. i think i am very stupid person 😳 i look that manual couple times and i still dont get it. So i have to ask it.. How i can automate my jp’s knobs? Like filter cut off? Sorry for being so dumass 😳

    If you have imported one of the “Generic xxx Instrument” definitions from the “import hardware definition” menu, then you should have a set of MIDI CC parameters in the parameter panel on the track where you assign the Roland device. You can consult the manual of the jp-8000 to find which CC number is used for controlling filter cut-off. Or you could just start recording, turn the cut-off dial on the synth, and Podium should then create a parameter track.

    May i ask do you have any ideas what you going to do?

    I have a lot of features I would like to implement for 2.21 and the following releases, but I have not decided on what to start with yet.

    Beta2:

    I have been profiling the CPU usage when doing long multi-channel recordings (+1 hour), and as a result I have been able to optimize the UI drawing of waveforms. You should see a considerable speed improvement (especially when recording audio), if you have a lot of waveforms on the screen simultaneously.

    I have a few more areas I’m going to optimize, and then hopefully release 2.19 next week.

    This is tedious work. Once 2.19 and my planned changes for 2.20 is done, I’ll need to do some fun UI stuff to recharge my batteries. 🙂

    Does the slowdown also happen if instead of a loop range you select a segment range?

    If you reduce the Podium window size, does this make the scrolling faster?

    It may be a case where the available free video memory is exhausted, and thus Windows starts to render all drawing in system memory rather than the hardware accelerated video memory. How much video memory is allocated for the onboard video card?

    Might be worth looking at some of those VIP Marketing related threads again Frits. :-k

    I’m working on something I hope to have ready within a month. I’ll post in the VIP lounge for opinions in a week or so.

    Podium is way too cheap. Or at least it think so 🙂

    I can’t disagree with that. Considering the effort I have put into Podium development, selling a license for $50 is ridiculously low, compared to for example the prices of some commercial VST plugins. But I have to adjust my prices to competitors in the host market, and there are many that are priced below $100.

    I have now donated ~64$

    Wow, thanks 😯

    I am grateful, and I think you have donated enough now. Please save your money for a cinema ticket, or a nice dinner out in the town 😉

    I would not like my customers to feel that they are obliged to donate additional money to me. A lot of users are very helpful on this forum, which saves me time, which is worth a lot of money to me. A cheap and simple way to help me out, is to recommend Podium to friends you think would find Podium useful. The biggest problem I have is that Podium is relatively unknown. I’m not spending much time on promotion, which is a bad business decision 😳

    Hi,

    You can’t configure a single click action for drawing in a new note and then repositioning the note when dragging. As you have noticed, dragging in either directions adjusts note length or velocity. I’d need to add another configuration setting for this behaviour.

    Currently you need to click to add a note, and then click the note again to start dragging it. This will also audition the note if you move it to another key.

    May i ask do you code podium alone? And if so, are you ever though to hire someone with you? Is it possible on financially?

    I do everything myself. My main interest is the development, so hopefully some time in the future I’ll be able to hire help with web-page design, manual writing, etc. At the moment I do not have funds for hiring help though.

    Podium works perfect in wine when you use directsound. (it has some glitches when compositing is on, but those go away when you use crossover office, or switch off compositing). Unfortunately you have serious latency problems with directsound (just like you’d expect)

    What is compositing?

    The problem lies with the wineasio driver. Podium seems to be able to access it (I can play vsti instruments with low latency), but can’t start the transport. I really think this is just a small issue, but I don’t have the experience to figure out what goes wrong in the code. The wineasio driver works perfectly with reaper and ext2.

    Can you preview audio files in the Podium browser panel?
    If so, can you open the sound file, enter the sound editor, and use the transport toolbar to play the sound file?

    Maybe if Fritz could spare half an hour looking at this and then put a big “wine compatible” logo on his frontpage. I’ll happily make convenience scripts to install and configure linux boxes and update the wiki etc.

    It would be nice to claim Wine compatibility, but I do not have access to a Linux machine, so it’s going to take considerably more than half an hour.

    That’s very kind of you.

    I do have a PayPal account. My PayPal email is: shop at zynewave.com
    (substitute the ” at ” with @)

    Depending on how much you intend to donate, you also have the option to purchase an additional 1 year of Podium software upgrades for $35, as described on the purchase page. The year will be added to your existing upgrade period. That way you get something for your money.

    So, i highlight that area and i bounce it. It doesnt bounce begin my selection ❓ Oh boys..

    It looks like you deleted the first master sound on the bounce track, but not the second one starting at bar 12. Unhide the bounce track again, delete all bounce events on the track, hide the bounce track, and redo the bounce.

    PLS make like in other host. FILE -> Export WAV file. So we computer dummies will know what we do.

    A menu/dialog for sound export is on my future plan. Until then you need to adjust the settings in the sound properties dialog for the bounced sound, if you want it in a different format than the default floating point.
