Not sure if I understand you right, but the ‘delete’ key will delete the current selection; be it selected events, a selected segment or a track.
ZynewaveCtrl+A is already supported in all editors, but for selecting events. If there are any marker events in a sound (beat slicing markers etc.) then Ctrl+A will select those.
Pressing ‘J’ will select the region where the play cursor is located. If there are no markers present, then J will select the entire sound.
ZynewaveLimiting the maximum draggable size of a window to the size of the Windows desktop, is standard Windows behaviour. I’ve now added some code that overrides these constraints, so that you will be able to stretch a window across multiple virtual screens, even on utilities that implement virtual desktop in a non-Microsoft way :wink:. Will be available in 1.06.
ZynewaveWhich sequencer did you use previously? Are there other hosts that uses double-click to erase?
Hmm, I’m not sure I like the idea of double-clicking to erase stuff. I’d like to have consistency in the UI behaviour. Does anyone else have an opinion on this?
Would key shortcuts to tool selections be a solution?
ZynewaveEach arrangement, note or curve sequence has its own undo history. Although you edit the curve sequence using the mixer sliders in the arrangement editor, it is still modifying events in the curve sequence. If there is no curve sequence allocated on the track, then the creation of a curve sequence event is stored in the arrangement edit history.
A solution could be; When you edit curves with sliders in the mixer, a sort of curve edit reference would be added to the arrangement undo history, so that mixer slider changes can be undone in the arrangement editor. I’ll consider this at some point.
Instead of opening the curve editor to undo, you can alternatively use the shortcut menu ‘Undo inside’ on the curve sequence event.
ZynewaveYes, … but I can’t hear (pre-listen) the result of the sliderposition.
I have a pending bug on my notepad concerning this. Will look into it soon.
ZynewaveCan’t remember what happened with length, but one of the other parameters I tried caused stutter in the audio and CPU overload. SIR must be doing some heavy internal calculation on the Impulse sound when certain parameters are changed.
ZynewavePodium 1.05 is now released adding support for Cubase patchname script files. I examined the Cakewalk instrument definition (.ins) format, but decided there would be little advantages in supporting this as well. Searching the net reveals that almost any device can be found in both Cubase and Cakewalk formats. The cakewalk format has the option to configure MIDI controllers and NRPN, but not all definition files use these. When importing Cubase script files, Podium will automatically create a collection of default MIDI parameters.
ZynewaveZynewaveThe project name displayed on the top/leftmost tab in the browser is set in the Project properties dialog. Select the ‘Properties’ button on the main project page to change this. You can thus give your project an ‘internal’ name that is more presentable than the filename you save your project to.
ZynewaveThanks for the tip Dan :),
Just tried 1.008. It did appear to behave better. I could automate more parameters and longer than the previous version, but then all of a sudden *POOF*, back to the desktop. I was automating 4 parameters simultaneously, so maybe a moderate use of automation will be possible.

ZynewaveHi Suges,
Request noted. Multiple selection in lists using the standard windows approach with shift and control key modifiers are already implemented. What I believe you refer to is that it is not possible to drag a selection in the object list window. It’s on the plan. Until then you can get around by using a couple of other techniques:
You can use the cut command to cut a selection of objects and then paste them in the destination folder. Note that when you do this you remove the cut objects from the project, and thus if there are any references to the objects on e.g. tracks in arrangements, these references will be cleared.
Secondly you can use the browser. This is what I always use for organizing stuff. Here you can drag objects around to reorder them. Multiple selections can be dropped into folders using the control key. If you want to move an object to a parent folder, you drop it on one of the top tabs (only single object currently).

ZynewaveAlright, alright 😆 … hint taken.
I have already started on the mouse wheel support. Shouldn’t be more than a couple of hours work, and one more item on the future list bites the dust.
ZynewaveUsing google I found cubase script files for Evolver and FS1R at:
http://www.davesmithinstruments.com/support/downloads.html
http://www.obscure.org/~riveted/patchscripts.html
I’ll see if I can implement script import quickly. If it turns out to be tricky, I may decide to postpone it.
ZynewaveIt is not there yet. I added it to the future list. Donald wrote to me saying that he would wait a while before trying Podium again, so I decided to wait and see if there were others requesting this.
Would Cubase script import be useful to you? What synths are you using?
