One thing I should perhaps mention is that there appear to be some defective VSTs in my collection – When rebuilding the VST database, I get several instances of a dialog saying something about attempting to load the C++ run time library without a manifest. This has been happening for as long as I can remember, and I just hit “Ignore” and it finishes scanning and everything *seems* normal (except the aforementioned OK and cancel button issues). I get the same notice in Reaper, but neither program seems inclined to tell me which files are causing the problem. It is NOT ZASF, I verified this by moving my whole ZASF development folder OUT of the plugins folder, and I still got the same number of “no manifest” errors. I have been assuming, hopefully correctly, that Podium just ignores the plugin’s existence after noting that error.

Can you check what plugin file name is written in the scanning dialog when the error dialog pops up?

This error dialog is probably popped up by the plugin, and so does not necessarily report as an error to Podium. If at the end of the scan, Podium does not report that plugins have been quarantined, then the plugin is accepted, but it may still have corrupted Podiums memory.

You say it’s the Preferences dialog that causes problems with OK/Cancel buttons. How about the Audio/MIDI dialog. Is that working without problems?

I recommend that you try to delete the Podium.ini file. Use the Setup/Explore Setup Folder menu command to find the folder where the Podium.ini file is located. While you’re there, please check if the setup folder is at: C:\Users\[name]\AppData\Roaming\Zynewave\Podium

After you have deleted Podium.ini you need to reconfigure your audio/Midi devices, but before you do that, check if the Preferences dialog works without problems.

That should be possible. It should also be possible to use the MIDI interfaces of both the MOTU and the Focusrite at the same time. I would recommend that you install the Podium Demo version to verify that your setup works with Podium, before purchasing a license.

Sorry, but currently Podium cannot map MIDI control changes to VST plugin parameters. The VST plugin needs to support this internally. It is on my plan, and the way Pulse described how he tried to do it, is how I imagined it could be implemented.

I don’t see why you need to go through the bus system. You can drag any number of audio output mappings onto the empty track area to create multiple master tracks. Then you place the audio files onto each master track, or create subtracks with your sources for each master track.

Marker events that you have placed in the marker lane of the arrangement editor should be included when you export the arrangement as a MIDI file.
