Not sure if anyone's done this before, but I've got EnergyXT2 running on my MacBook:
MIDI works too and the latency is quite good.
Quick mini HOWTO
===================
(Disclaimer: I don't check the forums that often, so I probably won't be able to offer much extra help.)
1) Install Darwine:
Recent builds available here
2) Install JackOSX
3) Download JackWASIO (Get the Crossover-Intel version)
4) Unpack "JackWASIO-CrossOver.zip" and copy the winasio.dll.so file to:
/Applications/Darwine/Wine.bundle/Contents/lib/wine/wineasio.dll.so
5) Download EnergyXT2, double-click on the setup.exe file (the Darwine package has this WineHelper thing that'll let you click and run Windows EXEs), and when it's done installing there should be a file called "energyXT2.lnk" on your desktop.
5) Run JackPilot, make sure the "interface" is picked properly in the preferences, and hit "Start".
6) Double-click that "energyXT2.lnk" icon on your desktop, and make some beats.
... now don't say I never did anything nice for anyone.

Cool stuff, any idea what the latency is roughly?

cool.... should work as good as i preach about on linux using wine i get really really good latency and since all those packages are based on the same things (jack, wineasio etc) then it should perfomr *very close* to windows and in some cases maybe better
i do have a question though.....how does it do as far as installable vsts? if its decent, perhaps i can get my macbook friend to try XT2 out after all! thanks for sharing this

Works exactly the same as WINE on Linux (I use Ubuntu with XT2/wineasio on my desktop machine, it's great). Compatibility is excellent.AllenPOPO wrote: i do have a question though.....how does it do as far as installable vsts?
I can't figure out how to calculate the latency from JACK on OS X, so I can't give a concrete number on latency.

great to hear....perhaps you could try using the variables from OS X and input them in your linux to see if they give the accurate latency info? just an (un)educated guess here
thanks again...more stuff to try out when the 14th comes around

Just installed all and tried!
Works very well!
Tomorrow i will try to play with FLStudio, but i'm a bit worried about how to install my .reg file into a registry that i don't know if crossover mac has.

xerocreep: Sorry, this will only work on Intel Macs...
AllenPOPO: Yep, this'll work fine on Tiger. If I were you I'd stick with Tiger as long as possible. Leopard is super buggy for me, and I think upgrading was a big mistake. (Stick with Tiger at least until they sort all the problems out.)
