I would like to have direct dialing smaler numbers than +/-24 in zPitch. I only reached on time +/- 4 by accident and it was very useful.
Hold down the shift key while clicking/adusting the cents dial to finetune.
Hi Steve,
Please send your request in an email to: info at zynewave.com
Please provide details about your share-it order confirmation, or your home-address (provided you haven’t moved since you placed your order), so that I can verify your request is valid.

The ideal solution would be to support MIDI loop-recording. Unfortunately, the method used for the audio loop recording cannot be easily applied to MIDI recording. Currently not supported I’m afraid, but definitely on my future list.
Preferences > Play/Record page has checkboxes for each MIDI message type.
It’s in the project properties dialog.

First, I want to wish you two and all other Podium users a happy, musical New Year!
Happy new year!
Should I make a Poll and ask everybody to vote for only one (or three) most wanted features? Will Frits read that at all? And if he does, will he consider doing something about it?
Go on and make the poll. The poll system only allows one vote per topic though. You could make two or more similar poll topics named: first priority, second priority, etc. which would allow each user to vote on multiple features.
Hi Mika,
I’ll start on this in January. I’ll reply to this topic when I have something to report.

I was looking at Cubase 7 on an iPad yesterday — very, very tiny and small enough to make me ruin my eyesight. That’s something you might want to check out, too, so you can get an idea of how itty bitty Podium is going to look on a screen that size.
Cubase 7 or the new Cubasis for iPad?
Steinberg is another addition to the list of major DAW developers that have introduced a tablet version, along with Apple GarageBand, Image-Line FL Studio Mobile, etc. I haven’t tried the Cubasis for iPad app, but my impression is that it does not offer more features than what already was offered by a handful of DAW iOS apps from various indie developers.
Still, I consider Steinbergs entry in the tablet market as a strong indicator. One of Steinbergs major selling points for the Cubasis app is that it allows existing Cubase users to create simple projects on the go, and then import it into their main Cubase when they get home.
Considering that the iPad was only introduced 2½ years ago, it’s going to be interesting to see how the market has evolved in a couple of years. There is a lot of innovation to be made with regards to the touch UI on the smaller screen sizes, and I have a lot of ideas that I would like to work on. I believe it is essential for Podiums future, also on desktop systems, that Zynewave can offer a tablet version. I believe that any DAW developer that doesn’t offer a tablet solution will be irrelevant in the DAW market in a few years.
Wrt your concerns that a tablet version will slow down development of other Podium features. That is inevitable, but I don’t think it is as bad as you fear. So far I haven’t spent more time on development for the iOS platform than the initial proof of concept efforts I presented in this topic. Preparation for a future Podium tablet version will start with the desktop version, such as working on improvements for touch input. I don’t intend to split out the development into two different apps. It is going to be one Podium application that will be able to adapt to any screen size and any type of mouse/touch input.
If these devices support the Mackie MCU protocol, then you don’t need to enable them on the MIDI tab. You only need to set them up on the Control Surfaces tab. I did a quick Google search, and it seems that both your devices are able to emulate MCU mode, so check the user manuals to see how to configure them to use MCU emulation.
Also remember to select the “enable recording of VST plugin MIDI output” option in Preferences/Plugins.
This method won’t route the MIDI realtime to a VSTi, but at least you can get to the recorded MIDI and move it to a track with a VSTi.

Let’s go tabula rasa!
Tempting, but there’s a large amount of knowledge shared in the forum posts, which I’d like to keep online somehow. I’d prefer if it was possible to import all forum posts and user accounts into the new forum. This would also make the old forum posts available to the nice search functionality that WordPress offers.
Congrats!
CDM has a large audience, so that’s sure going to give you some exposure.
One of the things that attracted me to wordpress was that it required little effort to make a good-looking site, with the huge number of custom themes that are available.
I came pretty close to finishing a new zynewave.com in wordpres, extended with membership and forum plugins. I decided on using BBPress, the most common forum plugin for wordpress, but it has issues when trying to import a phpBB forum. According to their roadmap, this will be improved in the next 2.3 version, so that’s what I’m waiting for.
I’m not going to use wordpress.com as host though. I will set up my own WordPress install, so the site address will continue to be zynewave.com.
