    Along with the launch of version 2.1, it seems that the Macintosh version has disappeared. In any case, there is no longer a Mac version on the download page.

    Does anyone know whether it has been discontinued?

    thanks,
    Anton

    I had some problems with the .dmg image so I removed it.
    But I just uploaded a .zip version of the program, you can download it now

    Thank you, Davy! I'm looking forward to checking it out right now!

    I just downloaded it and tried it out on a soundfont.
    I'm wondering if I'm missing something: when I use the virtual keyboard the notes go on and off with no rhyme or reason that I can figure out. Once I click once on the virtual keyboard, simply hovering over the keyboard without clicking has unpredictable effects: keyboard keys get colored yellow and stay that way indefinitely, and notes play with no way to stop them, in parts of the keyboard that I'm not even hovering over.
    Any suggestion?
    I experience erratic behavior from the virtual keyboard in v 2.0 as well, but this is a different behavior.
    thanks,
    Anton

    This is a bug...

    Some questions to try to locate it:
    * Do you have a touchscreen?
    * Can you still play notes with your keyboard or soundfonts cannot be read at all? (Qwerty)
    * When you hover the keys and when the highlight remains, does it also trigger sounds (that don't stop)?

    Aw, I'm sorry to be the bug messenger, as it were.
    * No, I don't have a touchscreen
    * Yes, I can play the notes with my computer typewriter keyboard. And that seems to work fine. I didn't realize that this was an option until a few minutes ago.
    * Yes, the hovering triggers sounds, but often not the keys I'm hovering over but rather keys on a different part of the keyboard.

    I'm using a MacBook Pro and MacOS Mojave 10.14.6.

    Thanks!

    Thank you for the report. I'll investigate on this but probably not this weekend.
    At least there is an alternative with the keyboard. For more details you can read this section of the documentation:
    https://www.polyphone.io/o/documentation…toolbar#doc_keyboard

    The keyboard covers 2 octaves and you can shift them with Ctrl+1, ..., Ctrl+8.

    @Anton: I updated the release for Mac. Is it possible for you to test the keyboard?
    Regards,
    Davy
