Zynewave updates the DAW - Podium to version 1.98. Changes are:

  • The menus have been rearranged. The top line of the window now has buttons for the global Project, Setup and Help menus. The editors have buttons for File, Edit and View menus.
  • Replaced the old mixer View and Rows menu buttons with a menu button at the top left corner of the mixer.
  • Lowered the minimum height limit for the toolbars. The toolbar controls have been redesigned to scale according to the toolbar height.
  • Using the mousewheel while holding the control key over an editor toolbar will resize the toolbar.
  • The "save project as template" command shows a dialog where the name of the template can be entered.

  • The power button in the transport toolbar will pulsate when not activated.
  • The buttons in the velocity region of piano roll and drum map editors will align horizontally or vertically depending on the dragged region size.
