ZynewaveIt’s on the plan now.
ZynewaveHi Jean-Marc,
Could you give some examples of what you mean by ‘snap by events’?
I can imagine a number of scenarios; Snapping the start of an audio/sequence event onto the tail of a previous event on the same track, or even snapping to the start and tail times of all events on all tracks. Also ‘relative’ snapping, where the position is not quantized but rather the event is time shifted with the quantize setting when dragging the event.
ZynewaveThis problem has popped up before. Here’s a rewrite of my previous answers to this problem:
The Podium settings are not stored in the registry. It stores the settings at:
C:Documents and Settings[user]Application DataZynewavePodiumPodium.ini
This file is not deleted or modified when uninstalling/reinstalling Podium.
The blank editor could be caused by a corrupt/incomplete setup file. This should only happen if Podium crashed or the PC was powered off while exiting the Podium application. If you have been experimenting with customizing the sequence profiles, you may also unintentionally have cleared some profiles. You can reset the setup file to default using the ‘load default setup’ in the setup menu. After this you will need to reconfigure your selections in the MIDI/audio interfaces dialog and any other customizations you have made using the setup menu.
ZynewaveMerry Christmas to all.
Support will be offline the next couple of days 😉

ZynewaveMy comments:
In the ‘Audio and MIDI mappings’ section you write: “click the Create audio mixer mappings button and now you can use audio inputs and outputs in your project”. This could perhaps be slightly misleading, since clicking this button does not create mappings for the audio inputs. Later on you describe correctly how to create the audio input mappings.
In the ‘Adjusting the playback area’ section, you write about the record region, and that it defines the range for recordings. Maybe it should be noted that this range is only in effect if any of the two punch in/out buttons are selected.
You write: “The Record region is always on top of the Playback region”, and you then give instructions on how to get rid of the record region to be able to get to the loop region. The C/S/P/L buttons (and their related context menus) were designed to handle this. Select the ‘L’ button and the loop region will be drawn on top, and you won’t have to drag the punch in/out bar aside.
I really like the style and format of your quick start guide. I think a lot of users will find this useful. Thanks for your efforts so far.

ZynewaveVery impressive! I only browsed through the pages, but will read it thoroughly later today. I can host the files on zynewave.com.
ZynewaveHi iskandar,
I have never had the chance to try Podium on a dual-processor machine, so I don’t know how much it will benefit from the extra processor. I have not written any code specially for exploiting dual processors.

ZynewaveThe root VST folder that you specify, is used when plugins are stored with a relative path in the project. In addition to this, Podium also keeps track of the last folder that was used when browsing for plugins to import, just as it keeps track of the last folder used when importing media files.
ZynewaveChanging the path seems to work fine on my machine. Please explain what goes wrong?
ZynewaveHi,
I’ll help 😉

ZynewaveI tried switching to a French key layout on my keyboard, and I could not get Ctrl- to function either. I’ll try and see what I can do about it. Is it correct that minus on French keyboards are placed on the ‘6’ key?
ZynewaveGood points. I’ll include them in the next 1.23 release.
ZynewaveThat explains that behaviour!!!
I aim to use control+click to set default values where it makes sense. I.e. curve & velocity editing and dials in the mixer.
How about CTRL+SHIFT…
Combinations of Ctrl+Shift+Alt are shortcuts for the three zoom tools + the slide tool.
even an option button along with the one that only affects the selected notes
Yes, I will probably put an edit mode button there that toggles between absolute and relative editing. Shift key can then be used to edit velocity for all selected events.
reading this again – isn’t this what we want anyway?
What I had in mind with the relative edit mode, was still to edit individual notes. You could click in the editor, drag in a straight line along the x axis, and nothing would change. If you however also move the mouse up or down while dragging along x, you could create variations in velocity. Hope that makes sense.
Zynewavewhy not use ALT or CTRL?
Alt is used for segment selection (as used in all editors) and Control is used for setting velocity to default value.
ZynewaveYou can’t do it with the mouse currently. You can use the +/- keys to adjust velocities for all selected notes. I could add the use of the shift key when dragging in the velocity area to adjust velocity for all selected events, but I was kind of saving the shift key for ‘relative’ adjustment of velocities as an alternative to the absolute velocities you normally set with the mouse.
Which do you want? 😉
