ZynewaveYou 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 one of the default MIDI parameters from the “New MIDI Parameter” submenu. Now locate the new parameter object in the list below, right-click and select Properties. Modify the parameter name to “GM2”, select “MIDI System Exclusive” parameter type, set “range to” to 0, disable the “record as curve…” option, 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.

Yes, I tried that too, but unfortunately it doesn’t work. Perhaps there is something else I forgot to activate somewhere ?
The option in the interfaces dialog is the only thing you need to activate in Podium. Maybe Renoise doesn’t support MTC?
ZynewaveThe “send timing clock” option in Podium is only usable for tempo-syncing external devices, such as the delay-time in effect units. The option does not transmit start/stop messages. For that, you need to use the “Send Time Code (MTC)” option, which also provides for more precise sync than the timing clock.
ZynewaveTwo suggestions:
In your example, you can enable punch-out and set the punch out at bar 4, to avoid recording over the clip starting at bar 4.
Alternatively you can enable multi-take recording. By default this is enabled only when loop-recording, but you can enable it for regular recording too: Set the “when starting recording” option on the play/record page in preferences.

Still playing with Podium, found another crashing bug :
I opened my ‘new Arrangment’ window with my 4 tracks, Setup->Windows. Click on ‘sequence’ in the list, Show.In the newly opened and empty window, click on View->Arrangement. Bang, crash (at least, on my computer).
Thanks. Now fixed.
ZynewaveWhat would you estimate is the duration of this lag?
Are you routing the audio output of your external MIDI device into the Podium mixer? If so, then the lag you experience could be latency compensation. Click the “Latency” button in the mixer to verify the latency for each track.
ZynewaveOuch. Nice find with the peak RMS setting. 🙂
The crash happens in the code for the RMS meters on the track lane headers. That was added a few releases after the RMS mixer meters were implemented. I apparently haven’t tested with the peak RMS setting after that.
I’ll fix this, and probably make a splash-and-dash release of 2.13 the coming weekend.

That did help a bit, but I still have to do the following:
1. Launch Podium
2. Screen Left: main Podium screen – New Project
* Double click new arrangement on the New Project screen to get to New arrangement screen
3. Screen right: Go to View, select Mixer Only.This is a total of 2 steps to get to my “default setup”. Your suggestions has eliminated one step. Any fuither thing I can do?
Each window remembers the last selected arrangement editor profile. If your mixer profile does not automatically appear, then it’s probably because you have not selected “Arrangement” as the editor type in the profile properties.
ZynewaveMulti-take was implemented recently. Take a look at the play/record page in the preferences dialog. Set the “convert…” option to “when starting recording”.

Enable the “link browser navigation” option in the setup menu. That should reduce the 3 steps to only 1 step.

I must confess I don’t really like the name Inspector, but I’ll be damned if I can come up with anything more appropriate :(.
Track Tools?
Track Panel?…Betty? 🙄
Both Cubase and Logic Audio uses the word “Inspector” for their version of a track properties panel. That makes me think it’s ok to continue using the term Inspector, although I’m open for alternative suggestions 😉

One of the terms I’ve always found confusing is “Editor Profiles”, which actually appears to be more of a “Customise Windows” function than a control to set-up editing functions.
It’s both for the visual layout and the editing behaviour. An editor profile is not linked directly to the window. You can have profiles targeted for the embedded editor in the arrangement editor. You can set up multiple editor profiles that you can switch between using the view menu in the editor window.
I also find it confusing when I open the “Editor Profiles” for “Arrangement”, as an example, and find four identically named entries for “Timeline ruler”, when in fact they’re separate controls for adjusting the Loop Timeline, Marker Timeline, etc. It would be great if you could change this part of the UI to make it simpler.
I’ve just changed this so that you see “Timeline ruler – Loop”, “Timeline ruler – Punch” etc. Coming in release 2.13.
If it’s at all possible, I think it would be great to put all of the UI strings into an external resource file (e.g. XML). This way, people could easily customise them into terms that make sense to them, plus they could be translated into their native language (assuming the UI supports unicode).
Localization and support for Unicode is on the plan for the future.

Yes, I always wondered about the “browser” window; I even now keep opening it thinking that I will get a browser where I can search folders and things!
That was exactly what you got in the first incarnation of the browser window. The project start page was added a long time after that. You can get to the old folder view by clicking the round button at the top right of the start page.
ZynewaveIt’s doable, but not something I put a high priority on at the moment. Don’t expect to see it in Podium this year.
