Zynewaveclick and hold left mouse button anywhere in the tracks area with the selection tool. Then start to scroll mousewheel up&down, up&down (do not release left mouse button). The grayed selection area will change it’s size abnormally and then will start to move with the screen up and down instead of expanding/shrinking.
Hehe, good one. The marquee coordinates are not updated when scrolling the display. Will fix it for the next release.
ZynewaveHi Darcy,
I’m glad to hear you’ve decided to go with Podium.
For a start plugs I would be looking for include:
Single and multi band eq
Single and multiband compression
Reverb
Delay
Chorus
I don’t have any recommendations, but I thought I’d mention that I’m currently working on some basic plugins designed for use with Podium. These plugins will have an editor that is integrated into the track inspector. The next release will have support for VST 2.4 with 64-bit processing, and to test this I have made a simple parametric EQ that supports 64-bit processing. The EQ plugin will not be included in the next 1.52 release, but soon after.
ZynewaveAny chance of say for example, splitting bounce tracks into two halves, whereby you can move bits you want to keep to the upper half and when you render a bounce it just writes the lower half? At the moment I just move the bits I want to keep to another track but it isn’t so organised.
As I understand it, you want two lanes on a single track. That is not going to be easy, and I think it also would bring another source for confusion into the hierarchy. If you keep your doubled track above the bounce track, on the same group level, it will be close to your dual lane track idea.
Almost finished making my first track on podium, it’s working great. Will post it up in the general chat area when I’m done.

ZynewaveIf I were to change the preset within Amplitube would I have to then create a new preset within Podium?
No, just leave the ‘sync’ button enabled.
ZynewaveWhat Max said.
I think this must be the single-most confusing aspect of Podium, judging from the number of support questions concerning storing plugin settings. I’m going to improve the plugin preset system soon.
ZynewaveThanks for the input Joachim. I’ve copied your post and I’ll work through it at some point.
1 Poly MIDI track -> X Mono MIDI tracks?
I’m assuming you are talking about playing chords on a monophonic synth (and not multitimbrality).
Too ambitious?
I think so. It will be difficult to implement an automatic separation of notes that overlap and put them in separate sequences. This would depend on release times of notes in the synth, and Podium would not know about this. Cut and paste, trial and error, using your ears 😉
– Impossible to change Podium’s metronome audio output routing?
What about the metronome settings in the preferences dialog?
Move selected events possible, but what about resize (note on as well as note off for instance)?
On the list. You can use the ctrl+plus/minus keys to change duration of all selected events.
ZynewaveThere should be no crackling in the demo. Are you using ASIO drivers? Does the crackling go away if you increase the buffer size?
ZynewaveIt seems a worrying growing number of high-quality plug-ins have their own built-in patch selectors and don’t announce the names of their patches to the host
And it’s mostly instruments using huge sample-sets. One reason could be that the instrument doesn’t know the number of programs and their names before they are loaded from disk. The VST spec requires that the plugin announces the exact number of programs it supports during initialization.
When do you expect to have this feature enabled?
Hopefully within a couple of months.
ZynewaveSo at the moment I would have to create a new preset each time I wanted to use a patch in Stylus or Atmosphere.
Yes. You need to create a library preset for every track you use with an instance of the plugin. You don’t have to create a new library preset every time you change presets in the plugin browser.
Every other host I use remembers the patch automatically as part of the Project. Are you planning to implement support for this type of use?
I do intend to support ‘invisible’ presets. If you do not assign a preset object to the track, the plugin settings could be stored as a hidden property of the track. That way you can ignore library presets if you don’t want to reuse presets between tracks.

Here’s the license application link for ReWire:
Just writing this to be helpful…I not only don’t care if ReWire is implemented or not, I think Reason sucks and so does the whole clunky ReWire concept. But everybody else loves it so hope this helps!
I have been through that licensing page. You are required to fax in the signed license, and this is what I emailed Propellerheads about. No reply.
ZynewaveHow do you make Podium remember the patches for Stylus?
You need to create a library preset on the plugin track. Press the ‘new’ button in the preset panel.
ZynewaveAh, so the real problem was how to open the plugin editor. I’m glad it’s not the Podium preset retrieval that is at fault. I’m currently making some improvements to the track inspector, so I’ll try to make it more obvious how to open the editors. Btw. you can also press the E key shortcut to open the editor for the focus track.
ZynewaveHi,
one of the things that I am not sure about is the pre-loading of VSTI’s and FX
I’m not sure what you mean with ‘pre-loading’. If you use the ‘quick setup’ in the wizard, then all your plugins will be scanned and they are configured within Podium using the various device objects. You can save this studio setup as a template project. Loading this template project will not ‘pre-load’ the plugins. The ‘map’ panel in the track inspector gives you the list of configured plugins that you can assign to tracks. A plugin is only loaded once it is assigned to a track, and if monitoring is activated. If you install new plugins after you have created your template project, you can redo the plugin scan in the wizard or import the specific plugins individually.

ZynewaveI know one Podium user that has the Stylus RMX. I’ve contacted him by email to hear if he also has a problem with the presets.
ZynewaveHi Grok,
Is there a Warp function like in Live
If the ‘Warp function’ is the name for Live’s time-stretching, then this is currently not supported in Podium.
