The Bol Processor on MacOS is now a standalone application "BolProcessor.app" (based of PHP Desktop) that no longer requires an additional installation. Great news, because running the free version of MAMP had limitations, and using XAMPP is a bit awkward to set up automatically on startup. The installer is used for both the initial installation and updates. Check this page to download the (notarized) installer: https://bolprocessor.org/quick-install-macos/

Dear colleagues, I have completed and uploaded version 3.2.0 of the Bol Processor, in which important changes have been made, although these may not be audible in the examples. However, they may be noticeable on some MIDI instruments or when capturing MIDI events. The main change is the management of NoteOn/NoteOff messages, described on the page https://bolprocessor.org/control-noteon-noteoff/ It took me a long time to revise pages such as “FillPhaseDiagram.” and “MakeSound.c”, which account for...

The previous installer is indeed off line. The problem lies in browsers that keep pages and files in their own cache. pinki wrote on 08/01/2025 15:49: Hi Bernard I don’t understand- why don’t you make the previous installer package off line and then this problem of the browser downloading the older version would surely go away? Or do version numbers? Best Andy On 8 Jan 2025, at 14:03, Bernard Bel belbernard@users.sourceforge.net <mailto:belbernard@users.sourceforge.net> wrote: Hi Andy, Well, I now...

Hi Andy, Well, I now check the installation every day in XAMPP and MAMP (free) environments, both with and without symbolic links... I have learnt from your reports to be very careful about the compatibility. So there are only three hypotheses as to why it failed on your machine: 1) You may not be using the latest "BolProcessorInstaller.pkg" installer. Check its size, it should be 18987 bytes. Browsers (especially Chrome) tend to cache the old version they have, so it's safe to download "BolProcessorInstaller.pkg"...

Dear all, First of all, I would like to wish you all a happy new year: success, health and peace, despite the appalling international situation... I've spent many days (and nights) fixing problems that have arisen following reports from a new user. I hadn't checked the installation and operation in MacOS carefully enough, feeling confident because the console and its interface were developed on my Mac with the latest version of the system. Part of the problem is that I am using MAMP PRO, which behaves...

Hello! This problem is very intriguing and kept me busy for a few days (and nights)... The explanation is that MAMP and XAMPP run as different identities. While MAMP uses your personal identity (by default), XAMPP uses "daemon". The user/group parameters of the "bolprocessor" folder (and all its contents) must therefore be different for these Apache servers, i.e: daemon:admin for XAMPP <user_id>:admin for MAMP</user_id> So I modified the installer to detect the presence of XAMPP and change the parameters...

Hello Andy, I haven't seen your attached images, so I can't understand the new problems you're experiencing. To anticipate my answer, I installed MAMP and the Bol Processor on an "innocent" Mac running MacOS Sequoia 15.2. I then updated the page: https://bolprocessor.org/quick-install-macos/ to reflect the changes. The first unexpected situation was that this version of MAMP uses port "8888", so the link to the Bol Processor is: localhost:8888/bolprocessor/php/ Another unexpected feature: this "innocent"...

Hello Andy, This discussion list does not seem to share attached files/images. Can you send them directly to bernarbel at gmail.com ? I use MAMP Pro version 5.7 on the Mac, which explains why the interface is different. I haven't tried the free version for a while, but I will do so on another machine.
