alt Hacker NewsI don't know how intentional this was, but it Just Works on macOS. It builds and runs, with UI. I have an OP-1 field attached and it takes the MIDI notes and synthesizes sound. I can't imagine why it wouldn't Just Work with a DAW sending MIDI as well - no need for external hardware, at least on Mac!
Yeah that's by design, and kind of a nifty byproduct. The demo tune on the landing page was actually generated by the DSP engine running on macOS. For me, it's mostly a development aid but you can use it that way if you wanted.
Just wasn't part of the motivation. I wasn't looking for another standalone macOS app or VST. Wanted something tactile (controller I already have muscle memory with) and a touchscreen UI.
