ZynewaveKeymasterI don’t know what will be the new page, but as I use a lot of arrangements in a Project, I liked the possibility to arrange them visually in the Browser…
Yes, that was my original idea for the ‘layout’ mode of the browser. Most people probably won’t bother with the layout though, and will have maybe only one arrangement and the Devices folder on the main project page. For those people I think the start page is a better solution. Since you still find the browser layout mode useful, I won’t remove the browser pages.

to start a project there is this new screen but also the Wizard which is not a visible option in this screen
I intend to remove the project wizard window completely, once I get all the functionality from the wizard into the start page. If the old browser pages are confusing, then I may decide to remove those as well and let the start page be fixed on startup. That would remove the upper right toggle button. At some point I may also add a ‘setup’ page tab, either before the first project tab, or to the far right next to the ‘list’ tab. This page could show info for engine, interfaces and other important settings. There would be buttons for quick access to the five configuration dialogs.
ZynewaveKeymasterBut how can I reorder the objects in the devices panel without switching to the “old” look?
I’m going to add this for the next release, along with commands for adding folder objects.
ZynewaveKeymasterOne problem though. The vst scan hangs on Real Guitar 2.dll
Do you mean to say this is a problem with the new project creation, or did it hang in the project wizard of the previous releases as well?
ZynewaveKeymasterOkay… One thing that’s missing. I can’t add a plugin from the new page…
In the intial screen shot you provided there is an icon which I believe would open a menu. It’s not present here.

ZynewaveKeymaster1.66 is released with the first stage of the project start page. I’ll continue adding some features for the next release, such as:
Menu button at the top of the devices panel with plugin scan and import, as well as some of the other options found in the project wizard.
Possibility to create new folders in both arrangements and devices list, and dragging objects around like in the list window.
Context menu on arrangements with ‘duplicate’ commands for the entire arrangement or just the track layout.
Other suggestions?

ZynewaveKeymasteri had crashes when i press Alt+crtl+shift+s while podium is playing
Saving a sound will lock the data for the duration of the save, so if the sound file is big the engine goes silent after a second or so while the ‘saving sound’ progress dialog is being displayed. I just tried this with a simple arrangement and a single 140 MB sound file. The engine goes silent during the save and then plays again after the save. I could not provoke a crash. To reduce the risk of this sort of crash, Podium could stop playback before saving any sounds, but I’d rather avoid having to put in that restriction. Let me know if it happens again.
ZynewaveKeymasterAnd when will we see fades and levels on audio clips ?
Don’t worry, I’ll get back to that. As I said in the first post, I felt a need to do something on the UI, as a break from the low-level stuff.

Did I say how much I like the new page designs? 😆 Fabuloso!
😀 For added coolness, wait until you see the pulsating create button 8)
ZynewaveKeymasterHow will this work with the Devices and Arrangements and Sounds columns or pages in your original screenshot?
The ‘create new project’ page will appear instead of the arrangement and the devices column when the project is empty. That happens when you use the ‘new project’ menu or when you delete all objects in the project.
Also is this the screen that will greet users who click on File > New project?
Yes.
Frits, you really should consider changing the default color scheme to the dark grey one you obviously like very much (I can tell that by the look at the screenshots you post here ). It looks much more expensive and stylish. just imho.
I’ve thought about that. Actually the color scheme used in this screenshot is dark green to match the greenish wallpaper. But the dark grey normally goes better with most wallpapers.
ZynewaveKeymasterI’ve added a ‘create new project’ panel, that will replace the ‘quick setup’ command in the project wizard.
Here’s a fullsize screenshot:
ZynewaveKeymasterHowever, specifically regarding the GM compatible drum-kit preset names that Podium creates, I would like to be able to rename the individual drum hits as displayed on the left of the drum sequence editor window as clicking on the names triggers the drum sound, thereby making it easy to match the drum sound to the name I wish to assign to it.
I’ve added a ‘Drum Preset Properties’ context menu when you right-click on the drum line in the editor. Coming up in 1.66.
ZynewaveKeymasterIt has a JCM900(in) and JCM900(out)…
It doesn’t need to be in two separate mappings. I downloaded and tested it, and it turns out Podium fails to recognize it as an insert plugin because its mono in AND mono out. Release 1.66 will import it as an insert plugin.
You can convert the two global mappings into one insert mappings like this:
Enter the properties dialog for one of the mappings, remove the in/out from the name, uncheck the global instance option, set ‘mono’ in both source and target combo boxes. Delete the other mapping.If it was necessary to use it as a global plugin, then you would set it up like you described.
ZynewaveKeymasterI just started a new project and loaded eXT with Chord Space, this time it DOES work. But that’s the only way.
So it doesn’t work if you try to set an identical arrangement up in your old project? Perhaps the eXT mappings in your old project are different than those imported in your new project. Check that the device mapping properties points to the proper eXT file.
Btw. I’m glad I started on the new project start page. This whole device setup will become easier to administrate.
