Changes:

• Changed the default installation path for the bundled zPlugins to the Steinberg recommended "VST2" subfolder in the Common Files system folder. This makes it easier to use the zPlugins in other hosts. Previously the default installation path was a subfolder of the Podium installation folder. Users that upgrade from a previous Podium version may need to add the VST2 path to the VST scan folders in the Podium preferences.

• Updated the ReWire.dll support libraries bundled in the Podium installer to the latest ReWire 2.6.4 version.

• The Audio/MIDI dialog shows an error message if a MIDI interface is selected as both a MIDI device and a control surface.

• Fix: Check for disconnected USB MIDI interfaces was not done properly on Podium startup. An error dialog will appear on startup if any interfaces have become unavailable.

Podium is a modern production host that integrates audio recording, VST plug-ins and external MIDI and audio gear. An object based project structure allows for advanced media and device management.

Podium Free is a freeware edition of Podium. It is fully functional with only a few feature limitations. Download and installation does not require registration.
