This has been an issue for some time now but IMO difficult to categorise as a bug or not. When you drag an FX to another position it creates a duplicate.

I will change this behaviour eventually. It’s a leftover from the old expanded mode behaviour which I haven’t adjusted for compact mode yet.

c. Move the FX track and keep plugin settings.

While drag/drop of effect tracks are not currently possible, there are a couple of alternatives:

If you want to move the fx track within the chain you can use the “Move effect track” submenu.

The second method will also work when moving effect tracks outside the chain: Select the effect track. Cut or copy (ctrl+x/c). Select destination track and paste.

All transport functions are of course supported. Audio gain and pan can be controlled, but plugins and bus send levels so far cannot be controlled.

I have a Mackie MCU myself, and I’m looking forward to having some time to improve on the support for this. Hopefully later this year.

Well, your request made me realize this was not as easy as it could be. I’ve now added a “SysEx…” command to the “New MIDI Parameter” submenu. So my reply modified for Podium 2.14 and forward is:

You need to create a SysEx parameter object for this:

Open the inspector parameter panel on a track where you have assigned a XV-5080 device mapping. Click the parameter panel menu button and select the “SysEx…” command from the “New MIDI Parameter” submenu. In the parameter properties dialog that opens, modify the parameter name to “GM2” and enter the “F0 41 10 00 10 12 00 00 00 00 00 00 F7” text (without quotes) in the “system exclusive message” text field. Press OK. Repeat for the other two messages.

Now you can drag this parameter from the parameter list onto the track timeline, where you want to switch to GM2 mode.
