This has now been implemented in Podium 1.22.
Podium 1.22 is released, which supports mouse-wheel zooming.
Hi Alphonse,
I actually used the Groove Agent demo to test the latest 1.21 release that supports recording of plugin MIDI output. In the GA editor you need to go into edit mode, open the setup lid and enable MIDI Output. In Podium you should just assign the plugin to a track as you would normally, and then record enable the track and start recording. The GA works a little strange, in that you also have to press the Run button in the plugin. I also tested with the MicroTonic drum plugin which works a little smarter in syncing play/stop.
Note that you can only record the MIDI output. Streaming plugin MIDI output into other plugins is not supported yet.
yes, another post…
It’s hard to keep up with you today 🙂
is there a way to manually set the order of them ?
No.
That is to tell for exemple that a 8 channel bus goes to outputs 1-4 and 9-12 rather than 1-8 ?
Not possible in one mapping, but maybe you could experiment with splitting it up into two mappings.
And another question that I had postponed : how to obtain separate mono files from a multichannel track (inside Podium) ???
Only way is to change the number of channels in the sound properties and then save it for each channel. Not an easy solution, so:
An option for exporting each channel as a mono wave file in the menu File / Save sound as will be much appreciated
I’ll add that to the plan. I’m curious; what program are you using that requires individual wave files for each channel?
I’m quite eager to start on this feature as well. The fun stuff is working on UI improvements. I may push this up a bit on the plan, so maybe it will appear in January.
and to give better compatibility with other softwares too
What other software products are using these shortcuts?
Will it be possible to have an automatic reduction of the number of points when converting from bars to spline ?
One of the items on my short-term plan, is to make quantization of curve events remove events that are stacked on top of each other. When this is done you can achieve a smoother curve by doing a quantization first and then do the spline conversion.

It is the case with Synthedit made plugins which have an automatic “idle” mode for each component…
🙁
No doubt that SynthEdit has contributed heavily to the popularity of the VST plugin format. That being said, the SynthEdit VST implementation has been very troublesome in my work with VST support in Podium. I think I have to download SynthEdit some day and try it out, to see what on earth is going on in there. Is it not possible to do something about the extent of idle message processing in SynthEdit?
Btw. Jean-Marc, have you tried out the new SynthMaker tool: http://www.synthmaker.com ? There is a downloadable beta. I tried it and was very impressed with the UI. The example VSTi plugin seemed to work ok in Podium.
My question : do you think that it would be possible, as it has already been suggested, that the user could switch of the refresh rate that you have introduce in 1.20 version ?
For me, the behaviour of 1.19 was better…
As I wrote in the release note of 1.20, with 1.19 you could experience that the plugin UI would become completely inresponsive, when the CPU usage reached a certain percentage (depending on PC system). I also noticed this UI freeze with your plugins. With the slow idle update introduced in 1.20 I also managed to crash the SpatPod plugin at high CPU load. So to ensure usability/stability regardless of CPU usage, the new high rate of idle messages has to be used. It is unfortunate that it comes at a cost of higher CPU usage for some SynthEdit plugins, but I think stability is to be preferred.
