Not supported: Intel-based Macs

Boo






I don't think Intel Macs have the grunt for this. Physical modelling of complex networks is pretty intensive.

You can take it a stage further and model networks of complex shapes like metal plates. That gets even more interesting because you get multiple resonant modes.

In the limit you could use finite element modelling to create precise simulations of acoustic instruments - like all of the strings in a piano, all of the dampers, the resonator, and the wooden enclosure.

But that's a brute force way to do it, and there isn't nearly enough compute available to make it happen in real time. (You might be able to do it on a supercomputer. I'm not aware of anyone's who's tried.)


I feel like you're overlooking the fact that it's GPU based (sorta the whle point) and that's why it also runs on Windows.
