What I had in mind was to extend the parameter properties dialog to allow configuration of a VST/mixer parameter to also define a MIDI message. In the parameter panel there would be a MIDI learn option, which will take the incoming MIDI message and set it in the currently selected VST/mixer parameter. When that MIDI message is received it would control the VST/mixer parameter rather than sending the MIDI message to the device. Would this solution be useful to you?
Please send me a copy of your Podium.ini file, and if possible also your project file. That may give me a clue why your MIDI interface isn’t recognized.
Open your older project that has the MIDI input objects. Open a list window, locate the “Devices/MIDI Inputs” folder and use the context menu or Ctrl+C to copy the MIDI inputs to the clipboard. Open your new project, and paste the objects into the Devices folder.
Might it not be better to also have this link symbol visible on any wave file that is dragged into an arrangement for much easier identification?
That will happen automatically. The icon I’m referring to is the small square picture of a wave that is located to the left of all imported sound object names (not sound files as shown in the list window file panel). It will appear in all lists where sound objects are shown (including the project start page, and also when you drag a sound object.
“show up in lists”… do you mean the List view?
Yes.
