Hi,

A few days ago, I got it recording controllers (pan, volume, etc)
from my evolution uc33e. This was really exciting. But I can’ t do that anymore

Do you have the problem with the exact same project and instrument track that was working before? Are you controlling a plugin instrument or a hardware synth? Does the control changes you send from your controller actually change the sound in the instrument, in other words; is the problem only recording the automation?

To be able to record parameters, the device you are controlling with your MIDI controller must be configured with the proper parameters. If you select your instrument track and open the parameter panel in the track inspector, you should find the list of supported parameters here. If you are controlling a plugin, then some plugins handle the conversion from MIDI CC to VST parameters internally, in which case the MIDI parameters don’t have to be present in the Podium parameter list.

If you cannot find the problem, you could email me your project file.

I’ll have to investigate this. Have you imported the plugins in a new project recently? I ask because some months ago I changed the preset system so that plugin banks was automatically stored on the track. Older projects will not automatically take advantage of this.

How is the “Sequencer” profile saved ?

All the profiles are saved as part of the Podium.ini file, along with all the other program settings.

Anyway, I tried copying it – where do you “paste” it to ?

The copy button works like a duplicate command, so pressing copy should have created an identically named copy of the highlighted profile in the list. Immediately after pressing copy, press the properties button to edit the new profile.

Do I need to create a new arrangement to do all of this because the only one available from the “new browser” window (in Arrangements and Sounds) is the same one I used for the sequencer profile.

You should not create new arrangement objects. Only new profiles.

I then opened a new browser window and opened the New Arrangement, but this is a replica of the first arrangement.

If I try to edit this to be a “mixer” arrangement, obviously the same changes happen to the first arrangement….

You need to create a new profile, which you then will use in your second browser window. It’s easiest if your start by copying your existing arrangement profile in the profiles dialog: Select your ‘sequencer’ profile and click the ‘copy’ button. Rename the new profile as ‘mixer’ and edit the regions. You can create any number of profiles that you can use in the editors. The view menu in the editors will list all available profiles for that particular sequence type.

Are there any plans for Podium to move in this direction ?

Perhaps. I’m not familiar with the FLS MIDI composition tools, so I can’t say for sure.

However, the next couple of months are dedicated to improving the audio features of Podium.

What do you mean with folder implementation?

Edit: Oh, you mean the sound file folders on disk. I thought you meant track folders.
