there's a pretty nicely working 64bit vst+vst3+audiounit build out there, and an installer, too. check my signature.
please do let us know if you run into any issues.

The Mac link at https://kzantow.github.io/surge/ is not working. 404.

This is due to github having an outage - been going on for 1,5 hours now.
p.s. just tested, i don't get a 404.

you could PM me or join the surgesynth slack at https://join.slack.com/t/surgesynth/sha ... mNhYzQ3NTU

Are you sure that's the problem? Their status page reports everything is up, but the link on your page currently points to the /releases directory, not to a specific file. The Windows download is working fine.

I think different versions seem to be saving into different locations as well. The AU is saving somewhere else for example.

well, any of the github-based Surge builds (VST,VST3,AU) on macOS, save, and load from ~/Documents/Surge . but yeah, if you're using some older, v1.5 build, you might wanna copy the user-made presets into ~/Documents/Surge/<somefolder>.

hope this helps.

the /releases releases are outdated - this is being worked on.

the kzantow has 2019 builds from the original github repository, with many many fixes, compared to the /releases folder.

there's background work and lots of plumbing going on, moving kzantow's automated builders, into /releases - but this has not yet happened.

Wow, no one has taken this project up yet? I'd love the ability to import samples into this thing and make the gui larger and use regular knobs.

Huh? Several people are working on it, there is already a resizable version and work on that is ongoing, and you can import user wavetables.

Nice, where is the resizable version? I installed a few hours ago from the link on this page and it wasn't resizable (vector or otherwise).

i still use it a lot to this day...
interesting to see how it develops..

cool! do you have any feature requests? i think eventually, most of the outstanding bugs and already-requested features will go in, and then it would be really beneficial to have some viewpoints as to what kinds of features there could be in future versions.

i haven't even gotten around to testing the scene a + scene b cos i'm still bowled over by all the modulation possibilities and am just perfectly happy with them and 3 OSCs

will check bell pad out and see what else there is. this is a really rich and robust synth.
it is really rewarding to sit down and start using it.

Is it skin-able and to what extent?

one that comes to my mind is NI Battery 1. the one-screen-only with no craziness they introduced in battery2+3+4 (tabs etc blah).. Battery 1 is still unbeatable. i would kill to have it for intel macOS.

There's a process to what they're doing..

1. Re-create the original skin as a vector skin, make it work
2. Enable zooming / increased sizes without loss

Then when all that is in place (and hopefully documentation, too) - it could in the future be re-skinned.

A lot of baby steps are being made and have been made for weeks on end, and a lot of patience is required still before it is all ready.

So far it's just the AU that is resizable, it's a process - these things take time and testing.

Vember Audio Surge is now open-source
