The Alt-Click on a ghost note is one of the wonderful features of Podium π I say this because I don’t understand very well how it can be supplemented.
With “supplement” i meant that the new PageUp/PageDown shortcuts is an alternative way to switch between sequences. The Alt+Click of ghost notes will still work as it always have.

ugggh! that shortcut madness is giving me headaches again. quite a long walk to learn them all…
The new shortcuts are using keys not used previously, and they are not changing the existing behaviour.
Is the problem that you’d like to use key shortcuts for the functions listed, but the shortcuts I’ve chosen are difficult?
Or is it a problem that the shortcuts exist even if you don’t intend to use them? Perhaps you have concerns that you accidentally activate the shortcuts.
is the palette thingy idea still on the table?
Apart from your response in that other topic, I did not detect a lot of enthusiasm about my suggestion, so I’ll probably only start experimenting with it once I get a touch-screen PC.

@Frits, this plug-in loads 12 instances into the Podium devices list that cover a range of input – output options (eg. mono/stereo/surround in, stereo/surround Out).
Are any of these mappings mono/stereo only?
If Independence FX reports that it supports various surround configurations, but not simple stereo in/out, then that can explain why Podium won’t import the plugin into a stereo project.
You can try to manually set up an insert mapping for the “Independence FX.dll” using the Devices list on the start page: Use the “New Copy” right-click menu on the insert mapping for “Independence Pro”. Open the properties dialog for the new mapping. Rename the mapping with “FX”. Replace the plugin path with the path for the FX dll version. Deselect the “device is instrument” option. Select Stereo as both input and output.
ZynewaveKeymasterLet me put the suggested key shortcuts into perspective, by listing the new arrangement edit menu commands (with shortcuts) I’m planning to do later on:
Snap to the Left (Shift+Left)
Snap to the Right (Shift+Right)
Nudge to the Left (Ctrl+Left) (already implemented)
Nudge to the Right (Ctrl+Right) (already implemented)
Shuffle to the Left (Alt+Left)
Shuffle to the Right (Alt+Right)
Move to Previous Track (Ctrl+Up)
Move to Next Track (Ctrl+Down)And for the piano roll, drum map, curve and sound editors (both embedded and window):
Go To Sequence on Previous Track (PageUp)
Go To Sequence on Next Track (PageDown)
Go To Sequence on Parent Track (Shift+PageUp)
Go To Sequence on Child Track (Shift+PageDown)While working this out, I was considering electronica music genres, where you often construct the song by laying out repeated patterns, with fill patterns injected at various places. With these new key shortcuts, users that work in this genre can quickly lay out the foundation of the entire song using only the keyboard.
The “snap to the …” commands will move selected events so that they join either the previous or next event on the track. If the edit cursor is placed before the previous/next event, then it will snap to the edit cursor (both start and end of events). As an example, this can be used to align the end of a reverse cymbal sound to the start of a bar.
The “shuffle…” commands will reorder events on the track, so if you have a fill pattern in the middle of a line of repeated patternes, you can quickly move the fill pattern left/right without having to manually move both patterns that should swap places.
The “Go To Sequence…” commands will be a very convenient way to quickly navigate among the sequences that are playing in the part of the timeline you are currently zoomed in on. It supplements the sequence switching shortcut of Alt+Clicking ghost notes in the piano roll. The PageUp/PageDown commands will switch only between sequences on the same group level. If you want to edit parameter tracks of the sequence you are currently showing, then you press Shift+PageDown.
Is this all too much?
I’ve browsed the documentation of some other hosts, and they all support edit commands similar to the snap, nudge and shuffle commands.
Personally I’m looking forward to having the PageUp/PageDown shortcuts. These will be useful in any kind of music genre.
ZynewaveKeymasterI looked at yellowtools.com, but I could not find a demo download of Independence FX.
I’m guessing it’s something in the way that the IndFX plugin exposes itself as a VST, that causes Podium to mistakingly ignore it.
I’ll try to contact Yellow Tools to see if they can help me out with a test version of Independence FX.
So you bought this in the recent “Fire sale”? π

One thing tho, kind of related and the above may resolve the issue for me but …the lack of any vertical lock on the navigator drives me nuts.
Are you aware that you can click above or below the zoom pane to start dragging with vertical lock?
If you didn’t know about this, then would you consider this sufficient?
ZynewaveKeymasterOk, I just made some tests using my share-it control panel, and apparently I have to enter the same text for all 17 supported languages, to make the fields appear on non-english order forms.
Thanks for making me aware of this problem.
ZynewaveKeymasterHi,
Welcome to the VIP club π
I just tried the share-it order page, and it seems that the fields for inputting user name only appears if you select English as the language on the share-it order form. I’ll contact share-it support about this.

I initially did not notice how you extended the loop range. You could also have right-clicked the loop button and selected “set loop around selection”.
Now that, unfortunately, I couldn’t, because the dropped MIDI event is 1/16th, 1/32nd, or whatever too short (you know that by now :lol:), which would’ve resulted in a weird loop…
Oooh, touchΓ©. π
Just curious: What don’t you like about Kontakt & Kore Player?
Mostly I find the routing extremely confusing. Besides that you have three different DLLs for different output channel numbers, the “host channels” in Kontakt seemingly cannot be configured or at least renamed, and so some instruments end up being routed through “Kt. aux n” (though they aren’t used as busses anymore).
I’m also getting nasty intermitting distortion (as if a CPU overload occured) even with just one instrument loaded and generally rather high CPU use – that doesn’t mix with recording video on my poor computer…
By the way, there also seems to be something Kontakt Player is doing that causes Podium to always ask to save changes upon closing the project, even after you just saved.When exiting, Podium requests the preset data from plugins, and if the data is different from the last saved data, it asks to save. Some plugins return different data every time it is requested. That can be because they put a time stamp in the data, or som other forms of counters/randomness related to copy protection.

Frits, there is a small bug when you adjust timming. Don’t know how to reproduce it, but I have a pod file that I could send you if you want:
Please send the pod file, and tell me what your adjust timing dialog settings are.

Okay, here’s a non-flashy video of how to set up Addictive Drums as multi-output instrument: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbrtFct9b38
Excellent! =D> I added that as a favorite on the ZynewaveDotCom channel.
Some tips, that you may already be aware of:
In the start of the video you rename the individual mappings. You can rename the folder (e.g. from “Addictive Drums” to “AD”), and all mappings will be renamed accordingly, provided that you do it before customizing the individual mapping names.
I initially did not notice how you extended the loop range. You could also have right-clicked the loop button and selected “set loop around selection”.
Maybe Frits would like to do a video for GPO? Because Kontakt & Kore Player are not nice to work with… πΏ

ZynewaveKeymasterMenu: Setup > Explore Setup Folder.
Open the “PluginQuarantine.txt” file and remove the lines for plugins you believe are safe to try again. Save the file back.
On the project start page, use the menu: Devices > Update and Load Plugin Database.
ZynewaveKeymaster- Relative snap and edit cursor snap options.
- Revised the mouse key modifiers and made Shift key work as snap override.
