After some days of no announcements, I have put on par the standalone Windows app.
Some considerations I did face while working on this port.
Performance is way different between Mac M1 chip and Intel Core i7 10th gen. I had to work on performance profiling to spot bottlenecks. The tools I used this time were Very Sleepy and Intel VTune.
MIDI support: I have made not mandatory the initialization of MIDI. User can use loopMIDI to connect to virtual devices from this standalone app and redirect midi messages from daw or other MIDI apps.
For Mac the support is the same but it is not allowed to connect a real device now, just DAWs and virtual midi keyboards like VMPK.
From now on, I do expect to deliver new features on both platforms at the same time.
Let me know if you tried it, I’ll be glad to build this app with you.
