Hi Lunik,

Thanks for your feedback. It’s always nice to hear first impressions, both the good and the bad.

I still havn;t attempting mixing down to wav… there is no “file>export” command, but I’m sure its very easy….once I figure it out….

You will need to create the master output track as a bounce track. Thus when you bounce-record the master track, you have your exported file. Currently this can only be done in real-time. Offline render/record is on the plan.

I could probably have every track on an album as a different arrangement?

Indeed. And you could have a mastering arrangement where you mix the bounce-recorded master tracks of the other arrangements.

Another FL has which I don;t know if Podium is ghost notes, where other midi notes in other clips at the same region in time appear in the clip you are currently editing, in a ‘faded out’ fashion.

This was recently implemented in Podium. Check that the ‘ghost notes intensity’ for the keyboard region in the profile properties dialog is not set to zero.

Is it possible to clone a clip in such a way that changes in the parent cascade into the children?

Start a normal drag of a sequence event. Before dropping it, press and hold the control key (a ‘+’ cursor is shown). The two events now refer to the same sequence (a ‘+’ in the upper left corner indicates this). Podium refers to these event types as ‘phantoms’. Another way to create them is to select a sequence event, and repeatedly pressing the insert key, which will create a series of phantom copies.

The GUI seems a bit sluggish. I was testing out on a 1gig machine with old shared memory graphics card

Podium is using transparency effects extensively, which does require a graphics card with decent hardware accelerated transparency. I’ve tried Podium on a machine with onboard graphics card, and it does make the Podium UI slow. On my new machine I have a cheap ATI X300 which makes Podium fly. The difference is huge.

Project received, though it appears to be just a copy of the freebees example project. I thought you had tried to create your own project.

When you enter into one of the song arrangements and try to play, do you get red warning popup buttons on the tracks with the plugins? If so, then it is because Podium could not find the plugins at the location specified in the project file. If you open the project wizard, the plugins panel will then instruct you how to search for the plugins.

All this of course also requires that you have installed the plugins used by the example project.

you still have’nt answerd the question about the preset bank within the synth going of the screen so you can’t get to certain presets (the ones at the bottom of the bank that go of the screen)

I haven’t worked much with the Karma synth, so I had to test it to know what you were talking about. Are you using 1024×768 video resolution? When I reduce my resolution to this, the load patch menu is indeed truncated at the bottom. The last shown preset is 113. This is an issue with the plugin, and you should email the Karma developer about this.

Meanwhile, you can access the menus outside the screen by highlighting the last menu item with the mouse, and then use the arrow keys to move focus down in the invisible part of the menu. Press enter when you think you have reached the desired program 😉

I also tried creating library presets for the Karma synth. I could not get the synth to respond at all to library presets 😕 Anyway, it is still in beta so maybe there are some things that are not implemented yet.

I’m currently trying to reduce the occurrence of CPU spikes in Podium, which may improve performance with this synth. Perhaps you could wait until the next release, before we start searching for other causes for the problem.
