Don’t know if it was supposed to be fixed in beta 4 already, but it’s still there. Also, the notes seem to disappear when stretching (well, shrinking) events which don’t start with a note. Both are shown in this GIF (320 KB)!
Fixed in beta 5 I hope. I discovered later that I had multiplied where I should have divided with the stretch factor 😳
Also also, converting events to unique cropped copies doesn’t always work correctly when the event is “time-contracted” – notes/automation points get cut off.
Thanks. Fixed in beta 5.
I also made a small optimization to the track event drop shadow painting in beta 5, so let me know if you still see some slow UI response that you think I should investigate.

Could you consider to implement the midi preview from the browser???
Only sending the midi file data to the selected track…nothing more 8)
It doesn’t really fit into the current set of changes I’m making. I need to focus my development on specific areas at a time. I will look at MIDI file audition on the next update of the browser.

OK, so rebuilding my directory structure (planned, will be less levels deep) might solve this for now. Is this increase in a new free version ?
It will be in Free 2.33.

Yes. The database update will append new mappings (with their subfolder location) to the end of the list. You can either select to rebuild the database, or manually organize the new mappings into the desired folders.
That’s the problem I’m running in; when I choose ‘rebuild’ it seems to ignore previous blacklisted plugs, do it all over again and crash when encountering those. Then after restart I get the message they are blacklisted and I have only the option to rescan, as rebuild will do it all over again.
A rebuild of the plugin database should not reset the quarantined plugins. The crashing plugins are listed with full filepath in the “PluginQuarantine.txt” file in the setup folder. If you move the plugins to another folder, then they will be scanned again.

I need to look into tags, but can you trigger sections of a song via tags? Like the cubase arrange track?
No. Track tags are used as a filter for displaying only a subset of the tracks in the editor.

Here’s something I found: During time-stretching a MIDI event, the ‘preview’ of its contents looks as if the notes changed octave when you stretch it by certain factors (seems to depend on the notes and event length; arrangement vertical zoom doesn’t matter) – GIF animation (100 KB).
Fixed.
Possibly due to the shadows, there’s a tiny delay added to some operations like switching editor profiles or zoom snapshots. Resizing of tracks is also a little less smooth than before. As always, I have a perfectly adequate graphics card, but it seems it doesn’t get called to help.
I think this is due to the alpha blending that I introduced to the curve sequences, and not the event drop shadows. Unless you also see the slow performance in the 2.32 release?
In the new beta4 I have made some changes to the way that the automation curve is drawn. It no longer uses alpha blending, so let me know if you still see a slower performance.

No problems mate, any plans on any forms of live performance capabilities for Podium?
Such as?
I don’t think any of the features I’m planning for the next few months can be considered as targeting live performance.
I do plan to support multi-touch input, once it becomes more commonly available.
ZynewaveI tried Kontakt Player 4.05, but I’m not sure I know how to set this up. I added another channel in the output section, but when I select any of the “unassigned” outputs there is no sound and the meter in the Kontakt mixer is darkened as if to indicate it is disabled. I managed to get sound on all 4 aux channels (up to channel 11+12). Do I need to do anything else in Kontakt to enable output to the unassigned channels? Perhaps this is a limitation of the Player?
I then tried the NI Battery 3 demo, and there I had no problems getting sound on all 32 output channels. Also no problems with: IL Drumaxx on all 22 channels. SampleTank2 on all 32 channels. ARIA player on all 32 channels. Drumazon on all 24 channels.

Any plans for a drum sampler? I have 100’s of single hit samples and it would be great to be able to use them in the drum maps.
I have lots of ideas for a drum sampler, so I hope to find time to work on that at some point. Currently I have quite a few Podium features that I want to finish first, so I don’t see myself working on instrument plugins for the next 6 months.
ZynewaveIt seems that not all plugins are loaded into the library. I have quite a few (mostly free) plugins and they are in a fairly large directory structure

ZynewaveBeta3 is up.
When moving/resizing/stretching events, the color of the mask is now semi-transparent black with white graphcs and text on top. This should work with all color setups, except if you have set the color of the timeline or events to complete black.
I’ve also finished my code review and test of the new stretch functionality, so let me know if you find bugs.
I’m going to spend a day or two updating the guide, and then release 2.33.
ZynewaveHi Gabriel,
It’s not a limitation of the Free version. Currently, only wav and aiff file formats are supported. In the future I’ll most likely extend this with .flac and .mp3 support.
