ZynewaveThanks for the feedback and for testing. I plan to upload a new beta next week.
ZynewaveOnce again, I’ve had to spend some time fixing issues with updates to the website backend software. Let me know if you find something that is broken.
ZynewaveZynewavePerhaps the plugin works lige e.g. NI Kontakt, where only one VST preset containing the complete current state of the plugin is exposed to the host. You will then need to use the VSTi’s editor to load presets. If there is a MIDI input indicator in the Xpand editor window (like in NI Kontakt) you could check that to see if your MIDI keyboard input is received by the plugin.
ZynewaveYes, the problem and solution may be what MLS described. The underlying bounce track can become divided into multiple sound files if you have been using the segment cut/paste commands. It’s a system I’ve been meaning to change, so that hidden bounce tracks will always automatically adjust to be just one sound file the length of the entire arrangement.
ZynewaveHi, given the SDK changes, can Windows XP continue to be supported for foreseeable versions? Thanks.
That’s a good question. I haven’t yet tested the latest Podium beta on my old XP box, but compilation of XP compatible code is still supported in Visual Studio 2015. However, I read somewhere on the Microsoft site, that they intend to drop XP support in the next major VS upgrade. If Podium should continue to support XP, I will have to continue to use VS 2015, which means I won’t be able to take advantage of future improvements to both the C++ language and the VS compiler 🙁
I don’t know when, but at some point I will have to drop XP support. Another incentive to drop XP support, is that the libraries the compiler uses to enable apps to run on XP are older and not as optimized as the newer non-XP libraries. The newer libraries takes advantage of more advanced API’s introduced in newer Windows OS versions.
ZynewaveHi Daid,
How much RAM do you have in your machine?
Are you trying to bounce only the master track?
Instead of moving all plugin tracks into a group track, you could try to bounce individual plugin tracks. This should reduce the resources required on subsequent master track bounces.

ZynewaveZynewaveHi Jeremiah,
First of all, please confirm that you are running Podium x86. The RGC sfz plugin is not available as a x64 plugin.
ZynewaveI assume you refer to this plugin: http://www.memorymoon.com/me80.htm
The demo installer is only for v2.1. Can you confirm that the problem also exist with v2.1 demo, or is there a more recent demo version?
ZynewaveBeta3 is up. Apart from further code optimizations, I’ve added one small new feature:
Would it be worthwhile to make the metronome sound folder location configurable in the Preferences dialog? Any other wishes for metronome enhancements?
Some ideas I had:
Allow “Metronome3.wav”, “Metronome4.wav” etc. to make it possible to have custom sounds for each beat. You could e.g. record yourself saying One, Two, Three, Four.
Add a second pair of bar/beat gain settings in the Metronome preferences, to have separate levels for preroll and punch-range. That would e.g. allow you to mute the metronome in the punch range.
ZynewaveWell hello there! Good to have you back Frits XD
One quick question and forgive me if this is not the correct place for it but I am a “Lifer” who would like to chip-in to the dev fund. Do I just pay for a subscription? Let me know.

Hi Ben. It’s good to be back in development mode.
I appreciate your wish to contribute to the development. If you want to donate, you can either make a purchase, or send money to my paypal account: shop at zynewave.com (replace the ‘ at ‘ with @)
ZynewaveI think it is fixed now. I had to change the method used to generate the download links, so the zip files now have a unique code in the file name. You can rename the file after it is downloaded if you like. If anyone still have problems with the download links, please let me know.
ZynewaveApparently, the shopping cart upgrade has broken the download links for the Podium installers. I’m working on solving this issue.
ZynewaveMaybe there is a way within an arrangement to re-establish the smoothing scaling that is available when the arrangement is first created?
Sorry for the late response, but here’s a suggestion: Reset the vertical zoom to default (ctrl+click the vertical zoom slider). Resize one of the tracks to your preferred height. Right-click the track header, and select ‘Set Height of All Tracks’. If needed, do the same with a parameter track.
