ZynewaveZynewaveZynewaveZynewaveZynewaveI came up with a few extra features on the zPEQ editor, so it took a little longer than expected. What remains now is mainly testing, so I expect to release it tomorrow.
ZynewaveI’m soon going to implement automatic storage of plugin presets, so there no longer will be a need to create library presets.
ZynewaveYou should add phantom copies of the 4 bar sequence. The fastests way to do this, is to select the 4 bar sequence event, and hit the insert key 3 times. This will append 3 phantom copies. You can also create phantom copies by dragging a sequence event and then press and hold the alt key when dropping the sequence event. There are hints for this in the popup help for the tool buttons.
ZynewaveI think I’ve answered most of those questions on this page, which was added recently to the guide.
ZynewaveIs it all synths that you have this problem with? If the synth has a native editor, try changing presets in the editor. Also make sure the MIDI input is assigned to the track, either by assigning it directly or by using the auto-assign feature.
ZynewaveOne more thing…. When is the zeq going to be ready? I’m just about to start working on the mix of an arrangement I’ve been working and I would much sooner give this a try than go with something else. If it’s just around the corner I’ll wait abit.
I’m currently putting the finishing touches on the editor in Podium, which may take a day or two. The plugin is done, although I haven’t fully tested it yet, so there may be bugs. Would you be interested in a beta version of the plugin without the editor?
ZynewaveHave you read the getting started tutorial? It explains how to work with plugins.
ZynewaveI just wondered if you might develop a built in sampler for Podium with support for say 16,24 and 32bit files at least?
I probably will. It would be ideal to use the sound objects in the project as sources for the sample player plugin. The Podium sound editor is also suitable for editing waveforms used e.g. in a wavetable synth.
Some synths have sample support built in, so the synth you are working on could maybe have sample support?
Not the first one I’m planning.
ZynewaveBefore this, make a backup of your project.
If you delete the audio output mappings for your old soundcard, then the ‘create audio output mappings’ button will appear in the project wizard. Using this command will also create a new ‘Audio Parameters’ device definition folder. You can either delete this new folder or your old audio parameters folder. If you delete the old one, any level, pan and send parameters assigned to tracks will disappear. If you delete the new audio parameters folder, you need to select the old definition in the audio mapping properties.
ZynewaveIf you mean how to make note event positions and sizes snap to gridlines when drawing with the mouse, then you should select the quantize snap button in the edit toolbar. Enable popup help and move the mouse over the toolbar for more information.
Or maybe you meant something else. Please explain in more detail.
ZynewaveI think there should be a spectrum analyzer (switchable on/off) built into it too.
There’s an idea for another plugin: zPectrum.
Besides, there’s no money in the ~$100 sequencer market unless you want to get in bed with a big distributor type of thing like Tracktion did.
I intend to raise the price some time this year. It will probably happen when the Podium guide is completed, and a few more z plugins are available. The next pricepoint could be $150. Although I would prefer selling e.g. one license at $500 rather than 5 licenses at $100, I just don’t feel I can charge that much money for a download only application. If you pay $800 for a product, I assume most people would want to have it supplied in a box.
