Ok, I must admit it has been a while since I tried this with the SW1K. I’ll do a proper check during the next few days.
Btw. did you receive my email? I also sent you a PM, that you haven’t read yet. Click the ‘You have 1 new message’ link in the title bar.
It should be possible. Before you import the SW1K device definition using the project wizard, you should select the ‘Analog’ and ‘PCI 1/2’ in the audio listboxes. This will create a set of properly configured audio mappings (i.e. SW1K Audio 1-2 Out etc.). When you have assigned an audio mapping to a track, look in the ‘Audio Parameters’ folder in the parameter panel to find the ‘Audio Volume’ and ‘Audio Pan’ parameters. Double click to assign to tracks.
I assume your MIDI metronome is set up to play on the built in synth of the SW1K? Are you monitoring the MIDI metronome output directly from the SW1K cards analog out, perhaps using headphones?
I assume you are recording through the analog inputs of the SW1K card. If you set up an arrangement with just a single audio track recording, and enable the audio metronome, then if you record something in sync with the metronome, Podium should automatically align the recorded audio so that playback will sync correctly with the metronome.
If you change the latency/buffer size in the ASIO driver settings dialog, does this change the perceived latency?
Maybe you could email me your project file so I can have a look at how you are trying to record audio.

is there autosave function implemented , i did not find…
Not implemented, but on the plan.
If you have been experimenting with the Sequence Profiles dialog, you may have removed one of the profiles by accident. Select the ‘Load default setup’ menu, to overwrite your current setup file. You need to reconfigure your interface selections after this. The setup file is not modified by the installation process, so that is why your problem did not disappear after reinstalling Podium.
You can choose the ‘Import File’ menu, and select .mid as file type. Doing it this way the .mid file will be imported as an arrangement with multiple tracks.
Alternatively you can open a List window (Ctrl+L) and drag .mid files onto tracks in an existing arrangement. This way only the first sequence within the MIDI file will be imported and placed as an event on the track.
I did not mean just stopping playback but also returning to the beginning.
Ah ok. There is no dedicated key for this, but I just repeatedly press Q, to move cursor back to previous marker until arriving at the beginning of the arrangement.
Hi Francois,
I have the SW1000XG card as well, although I don’t use it much these days since I started using a laptop as my main PC.
but with audio , i am not able to record anything.I can see the vu meter moving with the incoming audio , but nothing recorded
If you are trying to record on a track in an arrangement, then you probably just need to place an audio event on the track. Use the pencil tool to draw an audio event with the length you want to record.
I have also the problem of midiout from the VSTi…
Noted. Which plugins are you using that supports MIDI out?
Frits
Not yet. I’ve received a lot of requests for this lately, so I’ll be looking into adding ReWire support in the near future. Currently I don’t know how much work it involves, so I cannot make an estimate on when it will be implemented.
Hi,
To my knowledge you cant change the key commands in Podium
Correct. User definable key shortcuts is on the plan.
I’m using a laptop myself for the Podium development, so I’m not using the numpad either. You can use the space key to toggle play/stop.

In order to this to work, I presume a switch of some sort would be needed to reverse the MIDI flow.
Not necessary. One solution would be to allow a single MIDI input mapping to be assigned to multiple tracks. Another solution would be to make a MIDI input that is assigned to a group track, be inherited by any child tracks that does not have any MIDI input mapping. Similar to the ‘ghosted’ device mapping name you will see when focus is on e.g. a parameter child track.
let it be possible with external MIDI instruments as well
Certainly.
ReWire in the (near?) future
I don’t have a time estimate for ReWire. At least a month away before I will look into it.
It is not possible currently. Just like audio, note and curve sequences, MIDI inputs flow upwards in the track hierarchy. This has come up before, so I’ll add it to the plan.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I assume you want to layer the VSTi’s so that a single key will play both synths simultaneously.
