ZynewaveKeymaster- Scanned plugins are stored in a global plugin database.
- Added device menu commands for updating existing projects with changes to audio/MIDI interfaces and plugin installations.
ZynewaveKeymasterThe features in the 2.28 release was implemented based on user requests, so it was not on my original plan. This means that 2.28 and maybe even 2.29 won’t have the improvements to the Mackie support. Sorry about that.
ZynewaveKeymasterI’ve uploaded a “MIDI file tutorial” video:

The video also demonstrates the new project page.

In the video the sound of OmniSynth is compared with the Microsoft GS Synth, and the free sfz+ plugin loaded with the FluidR3 GM soundfont.

I mean how can I make a track to go to a certain output? I’ve only got the master bus that allows me to select a single stereo output at a time. I just can’t figure it out, tried it with sends already and that didn’t work either.
You need to drag the second audio output from the inspector list, and drop it below the last track, to create a new master track. Under this new master track you can then either place the track you want to output to the master, or place a bus return and use the corresponding bus send on the tracks under the first master.

The recent projects listbox uses a wrong background color, it seems – probably a tiny bug.
It’s transparent. Load a background wallpaper, and you’ll see. I changed it to emphasize that this list does not contain objects in the current project, as the other two lists. I also have some plans for further changes to the recent projects list.

– What’s the difference between Update and Rebuild database? i think that update doesn’t scan plugins in database
Update will only scan/import dlls that are not already present in the plugin database.
– How can I customize the global database? I’d like to remove mono plugins and folders
Open the “PluginDatabase.pod” project file from the Podium setup folder, make your customizations, and save back the project. You may want to save a backup, as a “rebuild database” command will rewrite the database from scratch.
ZynewaveKeymasterHi,

But I acted a bit hastily still. I didn’t make sure it does what I need it to do. I make reggae/dub music, and live mixing is a essential part of that – now that I’ve been more thoroughly demoing and reading this forum as well I figured out I can’t use my (general) midi controller with the program. I mainly need it to ride volume faders, solos&mutes, send amounts, not so much for controlling plugins. That’s a major show stopper for me.. As it’s weekend and my money won’t be going through until early next week, I’m seriously considering canceling my order at Share-it. 😥 Feeling quite frustrated about this… Is this feature how high on the priority list?
Unless your MIDI controller is capable of emulating MCU (Mackie Control) mode, then I’m afraid there are still many months to go before MIDI control changes can be used to operate the Podium mixer.
If this is essential for you, I’d recommend you cancel your share-it order ASAP. I had a look at my share-it control panel, but it doesn’t seem like I can cancel the order for you.
Another one is that I can’t figure out how to set up Podium to use multiple outputs on my soundcard (actually a asio4fall combined two soundcards..). I bet it does that though, I just have to go through the manual a bit more thoroughly.
Podium can only use one ASIO driver. If it’s possible to configure two soundcards in the ASIO4ALL control panel, then that should work. I have not tried this myself.

However I’ve noticed that Bootsie’s epicVerb and DensitymkII crashed Podium while scanning. I think they never crashed it before.
This may not be Podiums fault but I thought I’d mention it (because there is another thread with similiar issues).These plugins have crashed randomly for me with earlier Podium versions. Random crashes are often timing dependant, so the fact that the speed of scanning has changed a bit in 2.28 can explain why they have started to crash for you now.

@Frits: There is a tiny mistake in the download-url of beta1. Thank you very much for this beta! I’ll test it right away.
@all: You can still download beta1 by changing the url to “…beta1.zip” instead of “…beta.zip”.Fixed. Thanks.
ZynewaveKeymasterThe upcoming Podium 2.28 will feature a new plugin database system, which will make it easier to avoid VST scanning for each new project, as well as making it easier to update the plugin setup in your older projects:
ZynewaveKeymasterI’ve posted a preview topic for Podium 2.28, which features a new plugin database system. Please comment in that topic:
ZynewaveKeymasterZynewaveKeymasterOk, I downloaded and tested Ferric 1.5. I don’t get the weird GUI behaviour you described. Reading the user comments on the Ferric 1.5 blog page, I see there are new complaints about GUI problems using Cubase:

The problem could be related to the Windows GDIplus.dll you have on your system. Perhaps the new Ferric version requires a more recent GDIplus.dll version.
