There's a free MIDI Looper called rtpMIDI and it's compatible with Mac's Network MIDI. So, we might be able to preload rtpMIDI and D8Bridge in a small PC and use it as a new "brain" for the D8B. The PC would read the D8B's info, translate it with D8Bridge and send the MCU MIDI commands to rtpMIDI.

Just wanted to let you know that I'm checking for a Mac port these days! I've been at it for a week or so, it doesn't look too good I must say. Being from the Commodore 64 era, I learnt to code tightly, efficiently and mostly, fast and optimized routines. D8Bridge mostly deals with low-end stuff (Serial ports and MIDI ports). Those are implemented differently in each OSes. My code is portable in theory, but it's the special hardware calls that are not... And since D8Bridge is about 85% that, it'll be hard to simply port the software.
Having a Mac version of D8Bridge implies a complete rewrite of the software (again!). And I'm not even talking about the learning curve of learning Apple's XCode and all the new DLL Calls. There's also the fact that I'm the sole developer of this software, I'm not assisted at all, so I've got limited resources.
