FYI - I've discovered that there is a fair amount more in your help files than can actually be displayed in the QB Help. For example, looking at the help for Page R, I can on "scroll" down about 1/3 of way... it stops at "DISPLAY USED PATTERNS:". I only discovered this while trying to grant permissions to the mic (which is not working on page 8 when selecting external). I wound up clicking "show in finder" on the qasarbeach item which took me to the package contents for the app. It was there that I discovered the text files for all the help. So, although you have a fair amount documented, it's inaccessible in the app.

Hope this helps  :)

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.  :(

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:

  Model Name: MacBook Pro

  Model Identifier: MacBookPro11,5

  Processor Name: Quad-Core Intel Core i7

  Processor Speed: 2.5 GHz

  Number of Processors: 1

  Total Number of Cores: 4

  L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB

  L3 Cache: 6 MB

  Hyper-Threading Technology: Enabled

  Memory: 16 GB

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 $.  :)

I am having trouble with NPHONY. I've gotten it to work only a couple of times. Most of the time, when start with a single sound on channel 1, then go to page 3 and set nphony (to 4 for example), it shows the refs on the subsequent channels, and the source sample shows that it is mapped to channels 1234. But, it still only plays as a monophonic instrument. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I'm running 1.35b
