Highlights
- macOS build is now universal: it runs natively on both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs. v1.1.4 shipped Apple Silicon only, so Intel Macs could not open it at all in any format.
- Minimum macOS is back where it should be: High Sierra (10.13) and up. v1.1.4 was tagged for a far newer macOS than intended, so Sonoma, Sequoia, and most other versions refused to launch the plugin and the standalone app. v1.1.5 lifts that restriction.
- No sound, feature, or preset changes. This release is purely the macOS packaging fix. If 1.1.4 already ran fine for you, 1.1.5 sounds and behaves identically.
- Windows builds were never affected and are unchanged.
Details
Short and important one. The v1.1.4 macOS build went out packaged in a way that broke who could open it. It was built for Apple Silicon only, so Intel Macs could not load it, and it was tagged as needing a much newer macOS than I intended, so even on Apple Silicon it refused to launch on Sonoma, Sequoia, and almost everything else. The result was the same in every host and in the standalone app: nothing opened. That is on me, and I am sorry for the lost time.
v1.1.5 fixes it at the source. The macOS download is now a single universal build that runs natively on both Intel and Apple Silicon, and it targets macOS High Sierra (10.13) and up again, which is the range it was always meant to cover. There are no other changes. No new features, no preset edits, no sound differences. If 1.1.4 happened to run for you, 1.1.5 is byte-for-byte the same instrument.
If you are on 1.1.4, please update. Since 1.1.4 may not open at all on your Mac, there is no in-app prompt to lean on: download the latest installer at lostsynapse.store/download and reinstall, re-running the .pkg or drag-installing the bundles. Your saved patches and license carry over. Windows users do not need to do anything; those builds were never affected.
