ZynewavePodium 1.07 is now released and adds support for all issues mentioned in this topic; Dragging of multiple object selections, drag-reordering in list windows and ctrl+shift+click behaviour.
ZynewaveZynewaveAre you planning to implement MIDI Time Code in the near future?
It’s on the list, but I have no immediate plans. Currently my schedule are pretty much defined by what requests I get from users. You’re the first to ask for MTC, so it has not been a high priority for me so far. There are more important features that I need to work on the next couple of months.
ZynewaveHi Bantam,
Podium can output MIDI Sync Clock. Sync Clock is used to e.g. tempo sync external effects units. Podium does not yet support MIDI Time Code, which is the format used when you want to sync start/stop and playback time position with external devices.
ZynewaveSelling a license to you at $90, is not enough incentive to set aside two months development time for the Linux port 😛
All I can say for certain is that it won’t happen this year.
ZynewaveThe delete confirmation dialogs in Podium appear when you are about to do something ‘really’ destructive, like deleting arrangements and sounds etc. These actions cannot be undone. If you delete a track you can just hit undo to get it back.
Zynewavei find it strange to omit this
I came to the conclusion that the time I would need to spend on adding DX support is better spent on improving other areas of Podium. Maybe some months down the road I will consider DX.
Zynewaveany plans to do this??
Not in the foreseeable future, sorry. What DX plugins are you using?
Zynewavedoes it support for dx effects also, or just vst?
Only VST.
if i use a plugin with heave delay, does podium delay the entire engine, i.e. any live vsti i try to play will also be delayed, or does it delay ONLY that track?
It will delay only that track.
also, how far away in time (worst scenario) is vst parameter automation?
Not far, it’s already implemented :wink:. It was added in release 1.01. There still remains to be added support for recording knob movements within the editor, but you can use the Podium mixer to create automation tracks for the parameters.
ZynewaveHi pazzap,
The Podium hierarchic engine supports full delay compensation both for plugins and external devices. Podium does not have a traditional send/aux bus feature yet, but once it does, it will for sure support delay compensation as well. I expect to start work on the bus functionality within a month.
ZynewaveWorks for me in 1.06. The keyboard focus must be on a browser page. It will e.g. not work inside an arrangement editor.
ZynewaveIn fact, the less cluttered the better! I like flexibility but sometimes when a program gives you 3 or 4 ways to do the same thing, it’s overkill and starts to clutter the working environment.
My feelings exactly. That’s why I hoped you wouldn’t want the menus, knowing that you can just drag the tracks around 🙂
ZynewaveI’ve added ‘selection of multiple tracks’ to the plan.
When I get to the MIDI file import, it will automatically set up the tracks with audio support, if the import detects that it should use softsynths on the tracks.
If you have a project where you have imported a general MIDI compatible softsynth, then it should be possible to make the import procedure set up the arrangement without requiring the user to do any further editing.
One other thought, on that same track menu (when you right click on the track list), how about adding 2 additional options, “move track up” and “move track down”. The tracks would stay in their same heirarchy levels, but just bump up or down one track space.
You can drag a track up or down in the track list with the mouse using the rearrange or pencil tool. Would you still like the menu options, and why?

ZynewavePerhaps podium could give a info message if you try to assingn a bank preset to a plugin set as global if there is one already present.
I was thinking the same thing. Will try to fix this for the next release.
ZynewaveI’ve made some changes to the Devices and Library Files pages. The guide no longer claims that Podium cannot automate VST parameters … 🙄
The Zynewave marketing department is severely understaffed 😉
