FYI: the bottom-right midi-in indicator gets moved “off-screen” when you open the Track Inspector.
Try reducing the size of the toolbar so that all the toolbar elements fit on your screen. Place the mouse over the toolbar, hold the control key and use the mouse wheel to adjust the size.
ZynewaveKeymasterThe 1.98 demo is now available. I’ve changed the demo version so that it now can be installed together with the full version. It’s installed in its own “program files/Zynewave/Podium Demo” folder and the setup folder is also separate from the full version.
Note that the two installers still share the “Documents/Zynewave Podium Projects” folder, so uninstalling the demo will remove the example projects and the .pod file association, even if the full version is still installed. In this case just reinstall the full version to recover the files.
ZynewaveKeymasterThe compact pan/gain sliders control the first track from bottom up in the chain that has enabled gain or pan. By default track lanes have enabled the gain/pan controls, so that makes the sliders pre fx. You can disable the gain/pan on the lane track, and enable gain/pan on an fx track further up the chain to make the sliders post fx. A quick glance at the inspector group panel can tell you where in the signal chain the gain/pan controls are inserted.
ZynewaveKeymaster- Various UI redesign of the menus, toolbars and project start page.

Does this will also solve the fact that often the real values are not sent when we change enveloppe points during playback ?
Maybe. I’m going to revise the automation handling, so hopefully this will result in better realtime response.
ZynewaveKeymasterNote: If you plan to go back to a previous Podium release, please save a backup of your Podium.ini file before running this release. The changes to the toolbars in this release will modify the Podium.ini file and this will not show up correctly in older Podium releases.

Draw a volume enveloppe or a plugin automation, mute the track during playing, unmute it : all the enveloppes are ignored…
You have to stop and restart playing.Frits, can you solve this, please ?
After looking at this, I’ve come to the conclusion that this is best solved by a minor change in the engine. It’s going to take a few days of work, so I’m about to release 1.98 without this fix, since the 1.98 release is way overdue.

What is the benefit of having the Monitor(Power) button, anyway? (I’ve just started demoing Podium)
What rinxai said, plus:
Since Podium projects can contain multiple arrangements which can be shown in multiple arrangement editor windows simultaneously, there has to be a way that the user can control which arrangement should use the MIDI/audio interfaces. Thus the power button.
Also, if your project e.g. contains a set of songs for an entire album, it saves a lot of time and memory that Podium does not have to load the plugins for all the arrangements when loading the project.
ZynewaveKeymasterThanks Sam. That’s a nice story.
ZynewaveKeymasterI have made some changes for the next 1.98 release:
Added “activate power when opening arrangement editor” option to the preferences dialog. This option is on by default.
The power button will pulsate when it is not selected. That should draw attention to it if you forgot to enable it.
I’m also considering renaming the button from “Monitor” to “Power”. Enabling monitoring is only part of its purpose. “Power” more correctly covers the loading/unloading of plugins.

Frits , does the track playing care about the midichannel?For ex: when using multi instruments with garritan PO , how to assign channels?…if its possible 😉
The import of GPO should have created a set of 16 MIDI channel mappings in addition to the multiple output mappings. Just create new tracks with the MIDI mappings to play the individual MIDI channels.
ZynewaveKeymasterAny beta on the way?
No need for a beta. 1.98 will be released later this week.
ZynewaveKeymasterCould you say if it is this year, at least?
Sorry, I can’t. I’ve tried making long-term development predictions before, but they rarely became true, so I prefer not to make any promises. Often the course of development is guided by discussions and suggestions on this forum.
ZynewaveKeymasterDoes Podium has a video track?
Not yet. Support for video is on the plan, but I can’t say when I’ll find the time to add support for it.
ZynewaveKeymasterPodium currently supports loop-recording by using a folder track to contain the multiple takes on child tracks. It’s possible to extend this functionality to handle the individual tracks in the group as multiple takes, with automatic cross-fading and automatic muting, etc. I think the best solution is to extend the Podium folder track system to handle multiple-takes, rather than adding a new layer/virtual track feature to each audio track. Implementation of this is a bit into the future though.
