ZynewaveThe screenshots on the home page are updated with the new look.
Zynewaveactually one more thing, maybe the sequence profile needs it’s own horizontal scroll bar and zoom controls… or did you not put this in because it would look confusing having two lots of scroll bar controls with one just above the other?
My intention with the embedded editor was both to have space efficient sequence editing and to have it time-locked with the main arrangement zoom. If the embedded editor should be able to zoom independently, then space would have to be used for an extra time ruler and scrollbar. If you want independent zoom of the sequences, you will have to open a separate editor window by double-clicking the event.
ZynewaveThe reason why this occurs is because the time-ruler skips the highlighting of bar lines if it would overlap the previously written bar number. But I agree it is not consistent. Would the right solution be that all the editor gridlines mimic the highlighted bars in the time-ruler?
ZynewaveIt’s already on the plan:
MIDI-learn command in the arrangement editor parameter panel.
ZynewaveHow would you want to configure this color. Should it be a setting in the sequence/sound properties dialogs? This color would then apply to all tracks where the sequence is placed.

is Ctrl+Shift+Drop used at the moment? that could be a way of implementing in it in dg’n’dp..
Actually, to mimic the Windows desktop behaviour, I should change the current ctrl+drop behaviour to shift+ctrl+drop to create phantom copies (which creates linked references in Windows), and then make ctrl+drop to create unique duplicates (as in copying files in Windows). I’ll think about this.
ZynewaveIs planned a VSTi and VSTFX version of Podium?
You mean a dll version of Podium that can be loaded as a VST in other hosts? In that case, no.
ZynewaveZynewavea) copy and paste things without cloning?
There is no shortcut for it. You’ll have to do the paste, and then select the ‘clone phantom sequence’ menu. Are you using the ctrl+c/v key shortcuts or the menus? I could implement a new ‘paste unique’ menu below the current ‘paste’ menu.
b) protect midi tracks I have imported
Do you import the midi as an arrangement or by dragging it onto tracks? I’ve been meaning to implement display of a new symbol on the sequence events, next to the current + symbol (indicating phantom events). This new symbol would show up if the sequence is placed somewhere in the project outside the arrangement. This would enable a new menu that allows you to make a local copy in the current arrangement, leaving the original intact. Maybe this would help in your situation.
Zynewaveability to send midi to VST effects would be great too
You can do that already. You just need to define the proper MIDI parameter objects.
ZynewaveHi Francois,
Of the things you mention, I think the MIDI export will be the first to arrive. As I am going back fulltime on development from January, I’ll hopefully have this implemented soon thereafter. MIDI remote control will probably be a part of a key shortcut user-configuration setup. I have no time estimate on when this will happen.

ZynewaveIs it possible to tweak plugin parameter slider without recording automation?
At the moment, no. It will be difficult to make the existing parameter track sliders double as both recording sliders and independent edititing of current preset. Maybe another solution would be to extend the parameters listed in the inspector parameter panel with dials for editing the value. Sort of how the Podium native plugin editor is working. I’ll think about it.

Hi Frits,
I did not run a test where a big number of tracks will bring Podium to its maximum capacity.
But: I am using a VERY old computer and besides this it has the graphic chip on board.
The indicator always was nearly red when playing 8 tracks simultaneous (without plugins). Since the new release this seems to be better and also the cursor does not stutter any more.
Thanks for your feedback. If you have a slow computer, then the CPU spends relatively more time doing the audio processing, so it makes sense that you will notice an improvement even for only 8 tracks.
No real difference to me, but it’s OK, because I use PIV 2 Ghz and work most often with VSTis, not audiotracks.
The optimizations also covers routing audio in and out from plugins, but you will have to use a large number of low-cpu plugins to notice an improvement.
ZynewaveThe track sequence and audio events acts as windows onto the underlying sequence or sound. Editing start and stop of the events will not affect the contents of these. If the sequence event you are resizing is a phantom copy, you would not want the resize to modify the sequence contents because this could affect the other phantom events. If you want to cut the contents, you should first make the sequence unique (if it is not already unique) with the ‘clone phantom sequence’ context menu. Then you can use the ‘crop unique sequence’ context menu, which will delete all data outside the range of the sequence event.
