ZynewaveKeymasterIncluding the redistributable in the v3.2.5 installer may not be the best solution. When the user installs v3.2.5, a newer update with bug and security fixes may be available.
The beta zip file contains just the executable, so for it to work properly, a ‘true’ Podium installer for a previous version needs to be installed beforehand. The installer should only install the Visual C++ redistributable if it is not already installed, or if the installed version is older. It will not remove a newer version that is already installed. The same applies for the ReWire.dll that is also included in the installer. To make the installer as user friendly as possible, I think it is a good idea to have everything contained in the one Podium installer file. I think there are users who would be annoyed if the installer shows an error, and asks them to download and install a separate redistributable from a Microsoft website.
ZynewaveKeymasterIt should be working now. You may need to refresh the page in your browser. I’ve updated the login plugin, and revised my customizations of the login templates. As a bonus, I also believe this update has fixed the issues with the Lost Password page that many users have had problems with.
ZynewaveKeymasterThanks for notifying me. It seems a recent WordPress update has caused an incompatibility with the themed login plugin I’m using. I need to do some php coding to make it work. I’ll report here when I have fixed it.
ZynewaveKeymasterBeta5 is up.
There have been many posts from new users about unsuccessful scan/import of plugins. I think many of these are due to the x86/x64 incompatibility. In beta5 I’ve added code that checks for x86/x64 if a plugin dll fails to open. The plugin scanning dialog and the plugin import error message will show if plugins were skipped due to x86/x64 mismatch.
ZynewaveKeymasterThanks for testing Nicholas. Good to know it still works on XP 😉 It was on my todo list to test that the new compiler creates code that still is compatible with XP.
ZynewaveKeymasterThanks for the bug reports. New beta is finally up. Apart from a lot of code optimization, the following issues have been fixed:
Metronome changes working too however accelerating the tempo via the bpm value (say …120bpm and key in 200bpm) in the Tempo Event Properties box gives me an instant app hang if the song is playing at the time.
Some text is still cut off for me at 125% DPI setting, for example:
Minimize Podium while plugin windows are open, then restore it. The effect selectors’ “active state” color isn’t applied until the UI is refreshed in some way (change track values, change editor profile, open/close inspector, etc.).
ZynewaveKeymasterThanks for notifying me. This was brought to my attention by another user a couple of days ago, and I thought I had fixed it. It was a WordPress or perhaps a plugin update that started the issue, but the problem seems to be with the site caching. I’m using the CloudFlare service to cache the website on servers around the world. It is apparently only some parts of the world that has the problem. I have not seen the problem myself here in Denmark. If I disable the CloudFlare caching, the problem went away for the other user, who I believe is in Poland. I just tried to purge all caches on the CloudFlare control panel. Could you tell me if you still see the problem?
It’s frustrating how much time I have to spend maintaining the website. I need to update WordPress and its plugins for security reasons, but then I risk running into these kinds of problems. The latest update to the slider plugin seems to have messed up the video scaling. I’m considering removing all pages with videos and animated slides on the website, and just refer to the YouTube page.
ZynewaveKeymasterApologies for the delay with the next beta. I have spent the last couple of weeks working on my iOS part-time job. I will return to Podium development again this coming week.
ZynewaveKeymasterHi,
I did not know about this plugin. Perhaps it became freeware only after I created the recommended freeware plugin list. I did not find any good 32/64 bit VST drum plugins at the time, so it is perhaps time that I update the plugin list.
Cheers,

ZynewaveKeymasterOnce 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.

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.
ZynewaveKeymasterYes, 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.
