Hi – I’m getting a number of users asking me when my (commercial) MIDI-only app will be available as an Intel-native version.

While it will run fine under Rosetta emulation, the performance is abysmal – on a MacBook Pro 2GHz, the app uses at least 5x the CPU of my TiBook 1GHz. Yikes.

I use very few 3rd-party objects, and could probably replace those I do use with custom abstractions and javascript. I’d have no objection to building separately for Intel & PPC versions.

I appreciate I’m not exactly C74’s core market, but I wonder if there’s been much progress towards Intel-nativeness for the runtime and building standalones?

Any clarification would be appreciated (I’ve read what has already been said regarding an Intel-native version of Max itself).
