FL Studio is many times the size of Deckadance, so please be patient. That’s a major part of what the team are doing now.FYI, just getting all this system dependent code from Deckadance (which was created more or less with porting in mind) and replacing it with bi-platform versions took almost 6 months.

Windows API:FL Studio is tightly bound to the Windows API that takes care of moving, minimizing, maximizing windows, detecting cursor position, drag & drop, opening windows dialogs, clipboard functions, decoding MP3s, … so a port requires all operating system dependent calls to be isolated & replaced by bi-platform dependent functions.

But, things have changed, so let’s call this progress. We never thought that was a good idea, and it’s why we never did it before. But, before this came along, we needed to port well over 1 million lines of code to another language. So while this is great, it’s a 1st-generation OS X compiler, it’s cranky and sometimes causes problems of its own. This is one reason why FL Studio and its graphics are so fluid.Delphi only recently got the ability to compile to OS X.

Delphi:FL Studio is written in Delphi with in-line assembly for much of the DSP.

Below are some of the issues we face porting FL Studio to native Mac OS X and explains why this is taking ‘so long’: It’s a long and slow process and we can’t make any promises, since we may come across unexpected and or unsolvable technical problems. Well, the plugin testing is progressing nicely, and so the team has turned their attention to FL Studio 12 itself.

The VST plugins use the same code-base as FL Studio itself and if we could get these working to spec on OS X, then FL Studio would likely follow soon after. The VST plugin testing, was in fact, the start of the FL Studio native OS X compatibility development. The interest in the wrapped beta, and the problems we faced supporting 3rd party VST plugins in it, lead the team to start work on native OS X VST versions of Edison, Gross Beat, Harmless, Harmor, Maximus, Ogun, Slicex, Sytrus, Vocodex. But this is still a Windows program, running on OS X.

“We started by testing a FL Studio Mac OS X BETA (Crossover Wrapped) version with direct installation on Mac OS X.

The news was first revealed by the company in a statement issued to Attack Magazine which revealed why the move to OS has taken so long, it’s plans for the future and how PC users will be unaffected by this development reading: Yes, all you Apple fans out there will now be able to harvest the sounds of the latest edition of DAW with FL Studio 12 being fully Mac compatible. Somewhat bizarrely for a creative tool, it was never available for use on a Mac and strictly for PC. Hands up who remembers when it was called Fruity Loops? The software of choice for many grime and later dubstep producers the DAW now known as FL Studio was behind some of both genres most notable tracks.
