Note :
– the AudioUnit version is polyphonic (VST will be in next releases !), VST version is monophonic
– on very old VST host (Ugly VSTi Interface for example ), the GUI opens in a separate window. It can be made better if there are any users that are affected !
– With Renoise + VST 64 bit, don’t forget to check “enable keyboard”
– AudioUnit 64 bit version has not been tested outside the dev station!

Please report any bug / crash / problem in the comments or by email to contact@wavosaur.com.
Don’t forget to tell what is your configuration : OS version, Host used, 32 or 64 bit, and the version of the plugin you have tested (AU, VST, Cocoa 64 or 32, Carbon)
