Renoise 1.5 Os-x Beta1 Available Too

pulsar · November 2, 2004, 10:39am

actually the topic already explains it all. We have just uploaded the updated OS-X Build, i hope you will enjoy it.

Perhaps blackis will add some more notes about major fixes / changes to this thread later today.

So far it’s working pretty good.

Some things are still missing in the Mac version but i bet these will be added sooner or later.
Best would be if the Mac & PC versions were ‘feature identical’ when 1.5 final is released.

I’ll do my best trying to find bugs in this version and trying to get it to crash

If nothing very exceptional happens, this will definitely be the case.

Generally about the MacOS X version of the beta:

Finally the CoreAudio code should really work with all(?) cards. I’ve successfully tried it myself on the builtin card, an external M-Audio Firewire 410 as well as Jack (virtual sounddriver, which was known to crash Renoise earlier)
A lot of random crashes should be fixed (there was quite a major graphics redraw problem that could cause seemingly random crashes)
Some VST(i) GUI improvements (sorry, still no keyboard checkbox, it’s coming…)

I believe that’s it, the CoreAudio problem really has taken a lot of time but now it should be rock solid. If you still experience problems (crashes), please contact me personally at blackis@renoise.com

Hope you’ll enjoy this release,

Simon

How does one download the OS X version? Obviously, I do not have Renoise (I only use a Mac) and would like to try the OS X version out before I make a purchase.

i’d wait just a few more days… to make sure it’s until 2.5

…and there you have it.

Hello all,

I’ve been lurking in this forum for some time now, waiting for a public beta to come out for OS X. Now that it’s here, I am looking forward to contributing (hopefully in a positive way) to the community.

Cheers!

Hello all Mac users,

I just wanted to let you know that I’ll be away on a trip for about a week with no access to a computer which means I won’t be answering to bug reports or other mac-related posts/emails. Please keep testing the beta though and report any bugs you still find and I’ll start taking care of them when I return from my trip.

A number of people have reported that Renoise doesn’t even start even though they are using MacOS X 10.3, I believe I know what the problem is and there will be a fix for this as soon as possible.

Happy tracking,

Simon
