Available now: Tone2 Saurus4 analog synthesizer

Very nice. Markus does the standalone Mac version mean standalone versions of your other instruments coming in the future for the Mac? Very handy as its nice sometimes to just load something up and play so the standalone mode for Saurus is fantastic.

Yes. There will be standalone as well VST3 versions (both M1 native + Intel) available for free for:
Electra2
Icarus2
Saurus

VST3 and standalone might also be available for:
Nemesis
RayBlaster
Gladiator

M1 native VST2 and AU versions are already available for:
Electra2
Icarus2
Saurus
Nemesis
RayBlaster

Many thanks Markus, seems your in fire!

Thanks! Just did a quick check with the MIDI learn from my controller for the Volume knob.

I set it once, and it was remembered in all formats in use here: VST, VST3, and standalone! Nice!

Upgrading from v2 to 3 was free, but I'm not sure about v1 to v3.

Any thoughts of doing a version for iPad?

Any thoughts of doing a version for iPad?

So far the Tone2 synths only have PC and Mac versions.

Can't say I would be in favor of Markus taking on another platform to support!

I think a lot of folks would be interested in a iPad version.

I think a lot of folks would be interested in a iPad version.

Maybe so, but then that would take away development time for Markus to focus on PC & Mac.

[rezoneight]

Markus some good news...as of v 11.2 of Ableton the M1 AU of Saurus is scanned properly and works.

I think a lot of folks would be interested in a iPad version.

The version for iPad will be more of a toy, I don’t quite understand what the convenience is.
Live performances?

No need to shift the focus from the PC versions for manufacturer, there will always be something to add and fix.

The developer of KV331 Audio went down the i-Thingy rabbit hole, and that set him back a few years on the SynthMaster 3 timeline. Then he had to deal with the Apple switch to the Silicon CPU. Another big setback...

I am all for focusing development on the major computer platforms first, then playing with the toys later...
