Do you think it is possible that Magix will offer a Mac version of Samplitude and Sequoia?

No.

Not a chance. Magix once staffed a Mac/Unix port of Samplitude, but ultimately abandoned the project as being too difficult/costly for the expected payback. They've since gone through insolvency, downsized, and been acquired by venture capital firm RM Equity Partners. The new owners are focused on digital content creation. Their primary focus seems to be on the Vegas video editing platform. On the Samplitude/Sequoia side, they've been doing user surveys to find out what features are important, but I expect that roll-out of more support for immersive audio production is at the top of the list.

Wouldn't they sell more if they opened up to the Mac users?

It is entirely possible to sell more and lose your shirt doing it. Samplitude is already a niche product; Samplitude on Mac is a corner case. Yes, there are people who want it, but not enough of them to pay back the development cost.

Is it so expensive to develop Samplitude for Mac?

Samplitude comprises a huge legacy code base, key parts of which are over two decades old. The GUI was built using framework that does not exist on mac OS and would need to be completely rewritten from scratch. Certain key parts of the DSP use 80 floating-point and were coded in assembly language for Intel's floating-point co-processer, which isn't available on ARM processors. Most of the bundled FX code was created in separate development projects by a couple of gifted programmers who are no longer there, having left to start their own companies. Other technologies like CD and DVD burning routines, ColorSonics, and spectral editing were licensed from third-party software companies who no longer exist. I estimate it would take multiple programmer-years of effort just to develop modern unit-test routines for all this stuff, so you could prove that the re-targeted code still worked the same way. The Magix software development team is not large, and they split their time between nearly a dozen different products. I believe they spent about 9 months just working on resolving the GUI stuff and OS differences before they were told to stop and work on something more profitable. The fact that Apple extracts a 30% tax on all software running on their platforms doubtless made the financial analysis look even worse.

I think you only pay the apple tax if you sell your app in the App Store, but aside from that there’s no way they’ll release Samplitude for the Mac. The ROI is next to zero.

Arguably, the Mac has its own exclusive, Logic… (regardless of whether Emagic had a Windows version ages ago).

If there was a Mac Samplitude, would it tempt Logic users to try or move to it?

I have both a Mac and a windows laptop and feel zero interest to use Samplitude on Windows… perhaps I’m not alone.

Why?

I’m OK with what I have and have no interest in investing mental energy into a product whose parent company is having financial issues. I mostly do ITB VI work and unless someone provides some compelling reason for Samplitude, why risk it?

Even on Windows there are very few Samplitude users. I’m sure it’s an amazing product but, just like Digital Performer, perhaps it’s best for certain use cases?

Well, if you used Samplitude and happy with it, would you be interested in a Mac version, or not?
