ZynewaveKeymasterThe 0.20 alpha version can now be downloaded from the Podium download topic in the VIP lounge.
So far it only contains 10+ presets, so unless you are keen on experimenting with the parameters you may want to wait for a later version with more factory presets.
I have not made any efforts on CPU optimizing it, nor have I made any Podium look-alike UI yet. No need to do that until we figure out if this is a plugin worth finalizing. I reckon I can halve the CPU usage if I put in some more work.
Also note that I may decide to change some parts of the synth, so presets you make may not be compatible with future versions. If you create presets you want to keep, it is best to use the file menu on the plugin UI, instead of saving fxp files through Podium. The files saved through the plugin UI are text files, and they will load in future versions even if I change the number of parameters etc.
Those that try it, please share your opinion about it. If you manage to create some interesting presets, please share

ZynewaveKeymasterHi,
From reading your post I assume that you have managed to record audio tracks in a Podium arrangement, and you want to know how to export the final mix:
Have a look at the topmost master track. If you created the arrangement using the default procedure, then the track should be bounce enabled (the ‘B’ button next to the SMR buttons) and there should be a sound event on the master track timeline. Drag the size of the master sound event to cover the total length of your arrangement. Right click the master track and select “render bounce track”. Your entire arrangement will then be mixed down to this single sound event. Right click the sound event and select “sound properties”. The dialog that appears will show you the filepath of the wave file. This file is the final output from Podium. You need to use other applications if you want to convert it to mp3 or burn it to CD.

ZynewaveKeymasterI’ve updated the screenshot on page 1 again. The UI is more compact now, as I’m almost settled on the number of knobs/parameters. I’ve added a waveform selector for the three oscillators. The synth is now a true hybrid of subtractive and FM synthesis. If all the nine FM knobs in the center are set to zero, the synth behaves as a pure subtractive synth.
Hopefully only one more day of testing and I’ll have an alpha version ready.

I made a little screen capture .avi format of the problem, can i post it here or i have to send you by email?
Just send it to me by email.
ZynewaveKeymasterEven if your final verdict of Nucleum will be that it is better placed in the recycle bin, I do think that the time I’ve spent learning SynthMaker can be valuable for me in the future. I can use SM as a prototyping tool for the development of future zPlugins. It’s fast and relatively easy to construct algorithms in SM, and it offers various components that can be used to analyze the audio in realtime. If I some day start development of e.g. a zComp plugin, I would start out in SynthMaker and get the parameters and sound as I want it to be. When done, it would be a simple job to port the algorithm to a natively coded zPlugin.

I was trying to use track templates accross all projects.
E.g. I want to setup/maintain a vocals template track with certain EQ and Reverb or other plug-ins etc, and use this in all my projects.
Is this possible?
Not currently. I’m planning to add support for saving track templates to file, similar to the way project templates are saved to file. Don’t know when I’ll find time to implement this.
Also another minor related point is that using track templates was only available on certain context menus, i.e. When you right-click an existing track, not from the tracks regsion menu or from right-clicking in the area below the tracks. Is there a reason for this?
The track templates are not yet available in the recently added compact mode track menus. It’s on my plan.

Hi Frits , i have a strange behaviour of the sound editor , if i select a zone ,ok , then i want to select another zone , it does , but the background colour of the first one remain…
Regarding the audio files and folders , when i relink the file , it does not reappear in my arrangement i have to reimport them manually from the List panel.Hi Francois,
I failed to reproduce the problems you described. When you say “select zone” do you mean a segment selection or a channel selection? Maybe if you can email me a screenshot of the problem I can better understand what you mean.

Added a channel select button to the channel headers in the sound editor. This button replaces the previous behaviour where clicking anywhere on the channel header would toggle the channel. Shift+clicking the button will select the channel and deselect all other channels.
Nice.
Yes, it is visually nice…, but now I have to click precisely on the button instead of the whole space, so, alas, it is not as easy and fast to use as before during editing. 🙁
I suppose of course that it is too late to undo this inverted improvement ?
Perhaps can you keep the buttons but allow to click in the whole area like before ?Would it be sufficient if I added a “Select Channel” command to the right click context menu? This will be available also when right-clicking the wave area.

Here’s a minor bug (?) I found:

Looks like there’s something wrong with the area surrounding event’s names on record-enabled tracks. I guess it has to do with some luminance offset.
I checked the code, and I think this is how it has always behaved. I agree that it could be made to look nicer, but I will save that for a rainy day.

For example if I bought a MAudio Oxygen rather than just a MAudio Keystation, would all the Play, stop buttons work with Podium?
And could you control track volumes from the sliders etc?Podium supports MMC, so the play/stop buttons on generic MIDI controllers will most likely work with Podium. Controlling track gain/pan etc. requires a device that supports Mackie Control emulation.
