I don't need it. Nobody should need it.
But being able to offer an AudioUnit is always a sign of professionality, almost as much as offering hdtm-support.
I'm not saying "You should do this", but if it is not a big problem, I suggest you take into consideration that it could be a big marketing plus (yeah sure, only 2% of pcs ar macs, but mac users are generally less often using them for just surfing and gaming)

Hi skOre,
The answer is definitely maybe 😉 (don't you just hate those non-commital answers).
It's not something that we've looked into. I'm sure we will at some point. I'd like to go even further and have a Mac version of SynthMaker but at the moment that's a fair way off.
Malc.

I should add that we wouldn't be able to allow export to AU from the PC version. Unless my understanding of AU is incorrect of course - you can't use AU on the PC can you?

What about Linuxxing SynthMaker? Even if personally I have to rebuild my kernel to get my audio-card to work. Anyway.

I'm not sure about Linux. I don't know how popular it is as a music platform (setting myself up for a volley of comments form Linux fans now 🙂).

Linux is definately coming straight up, so preparing for Linux might be _the_ thing to do...

I myself think that maybe jorge and malc should be working on sound modules and stuff because things like this are not really important, I do though think stuff like this should be done sometime just much later on when SM is in to version one and has the higher level modules and all that type of stuff, also i think maybe the option for .aiff but as i said later on, Thanks 🙂

hi! i managed to talk about a possible linux version of SM sometime ago with jorge 🙂
my opinion is that linux will play an important role in the imminent future of multimedia arts... look at the impressive amount of good audio apps in distributions like PlanetCCRMA or AGNULA
i did some experiment some months ago and they did very well with PlanetCCRMA....i'll do some more during summertime.. i didn't try yet but maybe SM can run on Wine? (wich is a windows emulator running in linux) a lot of windows VST/i actually runs on linux right now ..recently jules (coder of Tracktion) ported his Juce library to linux too (now on win/osx/linux)
so i'd say...in the future (even far future) is an issue to think about for jorge and malc i think
just my 2 cents 🙂
love lalo
