Catalina 10.15.7. I'm also havng a few other issues with FX... weird audio on both delays and reverbs sounding like the high range of a flanger ... maybe a clocking issue? Also midi only works consistently if there is only one midi device. There are a few other things, but I think maybe they're quirks of the original system...

I'd be happy to document everything I've run into with screenshots and send you a PDF.

On a side note, there are some functions in the various screens that I don't understand and can't seem to find much documentation online. The help for QB seems to be for the 1.2x releases and don't quite match the current release. Page 7 is a good example. There are also some screens where I can't find any docs for QB or Fairlight CMI online, so I'm totally lost... For example, the Record and Zero functions on the Output page with the 6 slots. Are there any additional resources you can share on screens not documented in the help?

Thanks so much for your amazing work on this. I'm finding applications for it in it's current state, so I'll definitely be contributing some $. :)

catalina does seem to have some issue.

Re the info on newer pages, etc. I'll see what I can do about documenting them :)

On which OS and machine specs does it perform best?

I also downloaded Alias... the audio output is very glitchy/distorted. Maybe related to the issue with FX on QB?

FYI These are my machine specs:

do a quick test with alias for me. run it. press space to select default audio. and then press z to m. you will get the default sound - is this distorted, dropouts, etc?

Now I get no audio whatsoever.

I'm not sure what's going on now.... as stated above, when I first downloaded and launched Alias, the audio did connect, but was distorted. Now when I launch it, it won't even connect to the audio output.

I pressed space after launch. No sound. Went to settings>audio and I can see the system audio output, I can click on it and it highlights, but it does not actually connect. The messages reads:

0 : Built-in Output

No audio output has been selected

To verify that it wasn't my Macbook, I quit Alias, launched QB IIx and loaded a recent project. Everything works. Relaunch Alias, no audio... I even tried rebooting completely. It won't connect. :(
