its really silly there is no mac osx an1xeditor and it is only for ppc...  it cant be that hard to port to mac osx and its a shame that whoever made the program won't just fork over the source code.... if the source code could be available somehow, that'd be great.

For me it would certainly still be very useful to access the settings at all because I have an AN200 without access to many parameters, or the ability to use the AN Editor on Mac osx. And I tend to like to make my patches from scratch, and with TBMS, at least one can create an 'Init' template, save as default settings, and 'send current settings' to have all settings of the synth and editor be congruent to start.

Hi Benjamin,

It should be possible to run an1xeditor on OSX, you would just need to
have some kind of XP license somewhere, or old windows 95/98 cdrom. And
something like Virtualbox.

Add in some proper usb-midi device, which you can passthrough with
virtualbox to the windows installation, and you should be all good to go
:)

If you have an old laptop or computer with an unused Windows XP license,
you're in business the official way (I've reused some old Dell OEM XP
license from a laptop I have lying around, ok so it's not entirely
official, since it isn't running on the laptop, which is running ubuntu,
but hey :P)

Good luck :)
