ZynewaveKeymaster(1) Start time + duration (bar beat:division percent), and text describing the event. The graphics next to each time indicate the relative position, i.e. the percentage. I just noticed that there is a graphics bug, introduced when I changed the percentage range from -50..+50 to 0..99 a few versions back.
(2) No editing, at the moment. The list view is only usable for diagnostics, where you for example can check for overlapping events, or zero duration events.
The code for the eventlist is very old, and I haven’t updated it in a long time.
ZynewaveKeymasterCorrect, that is simple resampling, and that will be the first method I implement when adding support for audio stretching. True time-stretching (pitch-preserving) will come later as another option you can select on audio stretched events.
ZynewaveKeymasterBeta5:
Fix: Modified the code that saves the Podium.ini file. This eliminates the long delay that could occur on some PC systems when exiting Podium, or when starting a plugin scanning.
If you previously have experienced a noticeable delay when exiting Podium, I would appreciate if you could try this beta and check if the delay is gone. It should now exit instantaneously. It’s no longer necessary to add Podium.exe to your antivirus exclusion list.
ZynewaveKeymasterIn case it is a crash that is caused by the timing/speed of the plugin scanning, you could try to manually import the plugin once the scanning is complete. Use the “import plugin” command in the Devices menu.

That sums it up pretty well. It can be quite exhausting to work on the engine code, so I do need to get back to straightforward UI design once in a while.
Although, I’m not happy with the amount of time I so far have spent on the 2.38 font resize feature. There were a lot of places in the UI that needed to be made scalable. I underestimated the amount of time needed for that. Still, I think the scalable UI is an important feature when looking years into the future. The DPI resolutions of screens are increasing rapidly if you for example consider the new “retina” (Apple buzz word) resolutions that are appearing on the fast-growing tablet market. This means that there can be huge DPI resolution differences between different PC systems that you may use to run Podium, so it’s important that the user is able to scale the size of the entire UI. The support of touch-input is another feature that requires the UI controls to be larger than when using mouse-input.
That is just some thoughts on why I’m spending time on making the UI scalable. Some of the new images/icons in 2.38 have replaced images I designed more than 15 years ago. It was time to let them retire 😉
ZynewaveKeymasterDoes it scan/import with the correct mappings?
What happens when you try to load it on a track?
ZynewaveKeymasterDoes it crash during scanning, or what doesn’t work?
ZynewaveKeymasterMake sure you haven’t enabled the “Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth” in the MIDI output list.
ZynewaveKeymasterBeta4 is up.
This beta includes some fixes, and redesigned tool icons. Like with the new object icons, the tool icons are now unicolored. Let me know what you think of the new design. The new select tool icon may be a bit cryptic :-k.
I plan to update the mouse cursor tool icons as well, to match the new pencil, eraser and scalpel tool icons.

You can sort them alphabetically by selecting multiple objects, and using the right-click menu. Other than that, you’ll need to manually drag-reorder the plugins the way you desire. You can also manually organize them into sub-folders.

The mouse cursor changes between ‘+’ (unique) and an arrow (phantom).
ZynewaveKeymasterBeta3 is up.
All the object icons have been redesigned so that they are unicolored. This means there shouldn’t be any visibility issues with different color setups. I’ve also fixed a lot of issues with the select and inactive select coloring various places in the UI.
Let me know what you think of the new object icons.
