ZynewaveHi,
1. I’m doing some midi editing and I notice that there are some black midi notes on my piano scroll are different than the notes I actually put in (which are orange in colour)… So what are those?
Those are ghost notes from other sequences. They are there to help alignment with rhythm and harmony of other sequences. You can control the display of the ghost notes with the “ghost note intensity” and “hide muted ghost notes” options in the piano roll region properties dialog.
2. Can I do midi time stretching?
Not yet. That will come when I get around to implementing audio time stretching. No time estimate for when that will come.
3. I’m having no luck in resizing multiple midi notes…in other hosts I was able to select all notes and then drag one of the notes and the rest would follow. Is this possible?
Not possible with the mouse. That’s a frequently requested feature so I’ll implement that at some point. You can however use the key shortcuts to edit the length of all selected notes. The key shortcuts are Ctrl+Plus and Ctrl+Minus, which will adjust in steps of the current editor quantize value.
ZynewaveHi,
Click on the mixer title bar and drag up/down.

frits, for what it is worth, my only problem with the compact mode for fx names is…… for all of my digital recording life the fx names have been in the mixer view. most recording software that i am familiar with actually lists the name of the fx on the mixer. for example, if track 3 is a guitar track and i have four fx on it the mixer that corresponds with the guitar track will list by name the fx starting at the top of the mixer, like so-
sonalksis eq
sonalksis comp
waves super tap
urs blthave you considered that or is there a reason you feel podium should buck the trend?
thanks
The default setup of the mixer will show each effect in the chain.
Make sure you have selected the “Map” row and disabled the “Compact headers” option in the mixer view menu.

Not sure if this is related:
I had a crash on the parameter tracks when I right clicked on the track Header and asked to open Properties (version 2.0 in use). I only had a brief go on version 2.0, as I was required elsewhere, so I have not tested this out extensively.
Unfortunately, I am away from my Podium machine for several days now and cannot send a file. The VST in question was Zebra 2.2, but I was unable to test if it was just Zebra or all my VST’s.
Maybe somebody else could try to repro this and send you a file, or perhaps the fix for the above has fixed this also…
This is the same bug. It’s potentially all menu commands in the parameter track popup that can cause a crash. I’ll release a bug-fix version soon. I was hoping to finish the feature I have just started working on, but maybe I’ll just release 2.01 with this single fix.
ZynewaveGot it. Fixed the bug. It happens when you use the context menu to delete the track. You can delete the track safely by pressing the delete key. I’ll release a bug-fix version within a few days.
ZynewaveZynewaveI can’t reproduce this here. Does this happen with all parameter tracks?
Please email a project file with a parameter track setup that will crash.

i wonder if in the future you would consider having the gain and pan dials, or sliders, in the track lane headers optional?
I’ll keep that in mind.

so i am looking at compact mode because it seems to do what i want with fx in the track view. however, can i have the track view show no gain or pan dials but have them in the mixer view? this seems to help the track view look a little cleaner but still alllow adjustments to pan and volume in the mixer view.
You can’t hide the gain/pan controls in the track lane headers. You can however use the “show pan and gain sliders instead of dials” option in the tracks region properties dialog.

If the only reason you show the mixer strip is to see more of the effect name, isn’t the best solution for you an option to specify the width of the mixer strips? That way you’ll be able to see the full effect name even with the mixer strip hidden.
yes. or any option that would allow me to look at a track and see the name of each fx on the track.
I assume you are only talking about the mixer here. You do have the map row option enabled in the mixer so that you see at least the first part of the effect names, right?
Also, why do you still prefer expanded mode instead of compact mode? One of the main benefits of compact mode is that you see the entire fx chain on the track lane header.
Zynewaveif i open the inspector, chose zynewave eq, and drag it to a guitar track it will show up in the mixer as a track before the guitar track.
Ok, I tried it again, and it will create a track with a visible mixer strip if you drop it on the left edge border. If you drop it on the center part of the track header it will create an effect track with a hidden mixer strip. That’s a bit incosistent, and something I’ll tidy up at some point. It’s been a while since I last used expanded mode.

The mixer strip is by default hidden though, so the effect track is stacked on top of the audio track.
Frits, do i have to do this one track at a time (right click on track, uncheck hide mixer strip)? or is there a single place to change this default?
thanks
There is no place to modify this behaviour. All new effect tracks are by default created with a hidden mixer strip. This is also the case when you drag an effect mapping onto a track. How did you manage to create an effect track with a visible mixer strip by dragging the object?
Why do you want to show the strip for each effect?

Frits, if I right click on a track, in expanded mode, and insert an fx it does not show up in mixer view. if i use the inspector and drag the fx to the track it does show up in the mixer.
why is this?
You mean the “Insert Effect Track” submenu? I tried that here, and the track appears as expected in the mixer. The mixer strip is by default hidden though, so the effect track is stacked on top of the audio track.
