ZynewaveI hope I’m not too late for this party 😛
Podium will only show/enable a pan control if it is placed somewhere in the audio flow where either the source or the target is stereo. If you autocreate a return for a mono track, Podium will assign a mono send/return. If you manually create the return track and the pan control appears, you probably have assigned a stereo return mapping.
ZynewaveHi,
Any editing you perform in the sound editor will be saved to the sound file. You will need to copy the sound file if you want to preserve your original sound file: Open the sound editor and use the File>Save As command. Any soundevents referring to the sound will be linked to the new file.
If the duplicated soundevents have a ´+´icon after the name, they are ghost copies, meaning changes to one will be applied to all. If you want to e.g. revert only one event, use the “convert to unique copy” menu on the event, and then apply your edits in the sound editor.
ZynewaveThe current thing I’m working on is a revision of the plugin loading system. As mentioned in other threads, plugins that take a long time to load (such as NI Kontakt with large samplesets) can cause the Podium UI to momentarily block, leading to other related problems. I don’t know how long that will take. I’ve purchased the Spitfire Audio Albion1 orchestral library for Kontakt to have a large sampleset to experiment with, and I’ll continue to work on the plugin handling until all problems have been sorted. Don’t know how long that will take.
Beyond that, I have not made a decision on what the next step will be. Things like improved project/sound file handling (automatic sound ifle import etc.) is high on my list. I know you’re interested in time-stretching, but I unfortunately cannot give a timeline for that feature.
ZynewaveHave you checked if it happens with different projects, including some of your older projects that didn’t show problems previously?
It’s possible that you have dialed in a specific preset in ZynAddSubFx that has a license to kill.

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.
ZynewaveHi 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.

ZynewaveThe 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.
ZynewavePreferences > Play/Record page has checkboxes for each MIDI message type.
ZynewaveIt’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.
ZynewaveHi 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.
ZynewaveZynewaveIf 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.
