BananaSplit 2.8.14

BananaSplit 2.8.14: now on macOS

BananaSplit now comes as an app for macOS too (#34, #35): the same 6-strip, 5-bus mixer with EQ, the recorder (MP3, a folder per day), the player, scenes and VBAN, on Core Audio. Nothing changes on Linux and Windows.

macOS (new)

• For Apple silicon and Intel Macs, macOS 11 (Big Sur) or newer, in one app.
• Virtual cables: install BlackHole (brew install blackhole-2ch) and BananaSplit finds it by itself. VB-Cable, Loopback and Soundflower work too.
• Lives in the menu bar: closing the window keeps the mixer running there.
• Opening it the first time: the app is signed ad hoc, not with an Apple Developer ID, so macOS refuses it once. Allow it with Open Anyway in System Settings › Privacy & Security, then allow the microphone when macOS asks. The macOS manual explains this step by step.
• Updates: BananaSplit tells you when there is a new version. On macOS, you replace the app with the new one from the release page yourself.
• New on this platform: no real-Mac testing beyond GitHub's macOS runner yet. Please report anything odd in an issue.

Updating (Linux and Windows)

• From 2.8.0 or newer: Menu ▸ Check for updates… ▸ Install, or bananasplit --update. Flatpak: install the new .flatpak from this page.
• From 2.7.3 or older: install 2.8.14 by hand once. From then on it updates itself.
• Configs, scenes, recordings and the apps you put on strips before load as they are. A take that is recording while you update ends with the restart.
