rar file from MATRIXSYNTH is basically dated 2010, which can be at least traced to WinRAR version 4.0 or 3.9x, roughly. rar files, like UnRAR for Mac and MacRAR (if they’re not the same thing already), which is good and all, but only, and I do mean only files that were made in WinRAR 3.0 or earlier. There are applications that can deal with. ![]() rar file, on the other hand, is a whole 'nother story. dmg file was not really any problem – just use some obscure version of a disk emulator and hope for the best. rar file into SheepShaver and do all extracting in there. The suggested course of action, therefore, was not to extract the. This meant that, even if you could put the file into SheepShaver, it was like trying to read hieroglyphs on a broken stone. Well, here’s where s**t begins to go wild.īecause Microsoft wants to punch a hole in Apple’s liver every few minutes, and vice-versa, placing a Mac-Compatible application in Windows basically renders a lot of things barren of any metadata, of which include the resource fork, as far as I’ve understood. dmg inside.įor a normal Windows user, it’s basic instinct to extract the. The MATRIXSYNTH file that 'Tonio gave them is a. Of course, the normal way to go about this (with the Mac OS9 thing that pre-installs everything) would be to pass the Mac-Compatible application onto Sheepshaver through copying into a folder pre-made on the Emulator). So I, as a pure no-Apple-all-Windows kid, have set out to attempt to get Tuzzi’s early Parthenon of a Software Modular Phoenix, on Windows, through SheepShaver. ![]() “Alright, this is going to be interesting…” I said a couple weeks ago. Here you have some screenshots of Phoenix (Modular) Synth running on my system (OS X 10.13.6) NOTE: I have recorded some audios (as you can see in the screenshots below) to upload them here for you to hear how it sounds … Unfortunately the forum do not allow us to upload sound files, so tomorrow (now it’s too late), i’ll see if i can upload them somewhere else and put the links here. I knew already of “SheepShaver” and “BasiliskII” emulators as i used them in the past, and i knew that its installation was a little bit tedious … Fortunately another quick search in the Net lead me to this page where i found that someone created a self-contained MacOSX application (don’t worry, there’s a link for Windows users also there) with everything installed and ready to run! … So i downloaded, extracted the zip, copied the app to my Apps folder, run it, copied Phoenix folder into it … and there we go! "OK, i already have Phoenix, but how can i run it?" If you have a powermac still running MACOS9… let me know the url contains a snapshot of Phoenix running”Īfter some days of this comment, it seems that Antonio sent a copy of Phoenix to the Blog Master for him to post it in the Blog for whoever wants to download it (which i quickly made, of course! ) Phonenix is (was) a very powerful tool! It was used in couple of schools. Was my inspiration: I wrote a couple of emails to Jim and after that I decided to write a virtual analog real time synth and by the 1997 I had Phoenix up and running on MacOS9. “ I think I’ve seen for the first time Syd in 1996. Antonio Tuzzi, author of a software synthesizer named Phoenix developed in 1997 for the Mac, dropped by to post a comment on the Syd. Interesting connection to Syd which I posted about earlier. Says the Blog Master there (Monday, August 29, 2005) : Well, that was enough for me to stop reading and quickly search in the Net for this misterious “Phoenix”, and obviously i found it … here! Found and old post today by in this thread with a very appealing picture and a short text just saying “ Phoenix 1997 on macos9”, followed by a post by who said “ You had something to do with Phoenix, right?
