After the recent demise of my Sony VAIO (thanks to corruption by a virus) I’m now transferring everything over to Macbook with the intention of leaving Windows for good. Though I have installed Mac versions of the audio software I use, some holes remain in my setup - especially in my Ableton projects, where missing Windows-only VST plugins have left some glaringly muted holes… In particular, my own VST synth, the DR1 Dr Drone has now become a silent memory.

On a positive note, I really have no alternative now but to begin developing a Mac version.

As Synthedit (the software originally used to build the DR1) is Windows only, I can’t be confident of any immediate progress. I’m now looking at MAX/MSP as the possible way forward and will post my progress here.
