ZynewaveKeymasterif theres less release on and the notes cut of fairly quickly why does the plugin still need to keep processing
Sorry, I thought you meant the release time was long. If the release time is short, then the number of simultaneous voices will be less, and should not cause a high CPU load.
ZynewaveKeymasterDo you think that the changes in the code will also influence Podium’s behaviour with Hyperthreading processors ?
I’ll be able to test the multiprocessing support on a 3.0 HT machine later this week.
ZynewaveKeymasterdo you want a list of other plugins to test with?
Thanks, but I don’t think that is necessary.
ZynewaveKeymasterIve recently discoverd another great free synth from aurgur software, its a realy cool modular synth with some great effects and great sound qaulity. It does some weird things to Podium though, when loaded in Podium All the menus within Podium go blank
I’ve seen this happen with the KarmaFX Synth. Over the last few days I’ve been emailing with the Karma developer, and we have found the cause for the problem. We’re both using the same system dll file which causes problems in Podium, when unloading the plugin. The next Podium release will have a fix for this issue.
ZynewaveKeymasterIt seems that presets with 0 release tend to cause problems
If you mean the ‘release time’ of an envelope, then this can have a huge impact on CPU usage. The release time is the time that the plugin will need to process a voice after receiving a note off. If you play a quick pattern, even monophonic, the plugin will need to process a large number of voices simultaneously.
ZynewaveKeymasterthis can cause memory problems can’t it ?
Only if you have badly written software, that allocates memory without freeing it. What I considered as a cause was that there are some system timers that counts upwards from zero at the time the PC is turned on. At some point this timer value will be so high that it can cause overflow in calculations based on the timer value. I fixed some code relating to this in the latest release. Let me know if you experience this negative percentage again.
ZynewaveKeymasterYes, the mail arrived. I’ll take a look at your project file later on. I’ve uploaded your artwork to zynewave.com:
ZynewaveKeymasterI have installed the demo and reproduced the problem. I’ve also figured out what I need to do to make it work with GURU, but I’ll need a couple of days concentrated work on that, to make sure I don’t break compatibility with other syncing plugins.

Has anyone asked for drag and drop support yet? ie ability to drag midi or audio from plugin to host, from host to plugin, from plugin to plugin…
Dragging MIDI clips from plugin editors onto Podium tracks, has been requested before. I have now added it to the list.
ZynewaveKeymasterI haven’t received any email from you yet. Are you sure they were sent ok?
ZynewaveKeymasterThanks for the reports Jean-Marc,
I’ll start looking at optimizing the disk streaming in the near future.
ZynewaveKeymasterHi Stu,
If you’re using outlook or outlook express, open a ‘new message’ and select ‘File Attachment’ in the Insert menu. Then locate the file. After this the email should show a line in the header with the file information. You can also just locate the project file in a file explorer and drag and drop the file onto the new message window.
My email address is listed on the contact page.
ZynewaveKeymasterI use actually an automation curve since I have not succeded to use the parameters events. Is this possible to use them in the current version ?
Yes.
ZynewaveKeymasterCould you email me the project file?
What GHz speed is your CPU?
ZynewaveKeymasterSo, if I have well understood, there is no real way to work with a certain number of Programs that can be edited, and selected along a track with MIDI Program changes, other that what I have described at the begining, and that is very time consuming
If I understand you right: You have a plugin that can hold a certain number of presets in a bank. This plugin supports switching between the programs with MIDI program change commands. You want to edit the presets in the bank and recall these at certain points on the timeline. If so, assign a bank library preset on the track and keep the sync button enabled so Podium always stores changes you make in the plugin. I assume you have created a program change parameter that you then either automate with curves or with parameter events on the timeline. This should work. You won’t be able to select the individual VST program from Podium, so the plugin editor have to implement its own preset navigator and preset rename functionality.
