sounds like it’ll just blink when you use the keyboard shortcut so you know it worked – right?
Right.
Thoughts?
It’s going to be a post Podium 2.00 task. I’ve got my hands full with the track layout changes.
Some clarification:
The objects you see on the project start page device list are a direct reflection of the actual objects in the project. The tracks only store a link to these objects, so deleting the objects will automatically remove the object references on the tracks.
I browsed the DK+ pdf guide (by DarkStar) and found this hint:
“to enable the Step Sequencer – send MIDI note C#3 on MIDI channel 16”
Are you doing this? There also appears to be a on/off button on the UI for enabling the sequencer.
I have some ideas for a simpler track layout, but I need to experiment with this before I can reveal it.
1) The upcoming changes to the group panel will do something about this.
2) I’ve added “E” as shortcut for closing a plugin window when it has focus. This shortcut won’t work if the plugin uses the E key for something.
This would be especially useful for those editors that seem to block Ctrl+Tab from cycling through open windows.
Which plugins block Ctrl+Tab?
1. It’s like a guitar pedal rig where the signal goes into the first pedal, through the others and out the last one to the amp; turning each one on and off as needed?
Something like that. The zGrid plugin would be an insert plugin, and so each effect plugin used within the zGrid instance would be local to the track. On each track you place a zGrid instance, you can have a different effect setup.
I assume you are talking about bundled events. I’m not keen on using italics. I’ll keep this FR in mind for the future.
I’ve added a save-confirmation blink to the project name written in the top title bar.
So Frits how far do you think the GP feature wise should go…?
I’m going to add more elements to the group panel, but they will all be options in the view menu, like the current gain, pan and send options.
I’ve thought about moving the “Track” panel to the top of the list. What kept me from doing it so far, is that it will mean a few changes that may affect users workflow:
The F1-F5 keys need to be shuffled around, so that F1 instead of F5 will open the Track panel.
Today, clicking the header of an open panel will close it towards the top, meaning the remaining panels slides on top of the closed panel. This way the bottommost panel will always be the default open panel, and therefore I placed the Track panel at the bottom. If the Track panel is placed at the top, then closing a panel needs to slide it to the bottom of the inspector, i.e. the clicked panel will slide away from the mouse. Little things for sure, but that’s why I placed the Track panel at the bottom. At some point I’ll experiment with placing it at the top.

the new Big Transport I like very well but the the BSMR buttons
appear a little bit to massive for me, especially if the colour of the characters is black (=activated) and not grey (=inactive).would it be possible to choose a less fat font or a different colour than black?
It’s not possible currently. Some time in the future I may open up for skinning the button images.

I initially thought this included the Piano roll which will change colour (white keys as well) based on whatever colours are used in certain parts of Podium. Not good.
something like an opacity option for ‘piano roll opacity’, like the one that exists for ‘track color opacity’ would remedy this nicely me thinks . 💡
I’ve added a “black/white key intensity” percentage setting to the piano roll properties dialog. Setting it to 100% will paint solid black/white keys. Setting it to 0% will paint with the colors of the current version.
If I may ask…why is there a link between how a track is named and having an option to select Device Mappings from within the Group Panel?
It was mainly an attempt to reduce the size of the panel. If the map selection should appear on all tracks, then tracks where you don’t intend to assign mappings (e.g. master fader and group tracks) would have an unneded blank line for the mapping.
But as I replied earlier in this topic, I’m still revising the group panel functionality for the coming 1.95 release.
Both the marker name and the tempo/time signature written to the left of the timeline show the last events placed before the currently shown timeline start. They do not indicate what is active at the current play cursor position.
