Dan,
I used to use SimpleSynth as well. If someone makes a 64-bit version, I’d love a copy.

He hasn't updated it for quite a while and it no longer runs on macOS 10.15, but the source code is on Github. I actually updated his other app for 64-bit & modern OS's, MIDIPatchbay, so maybe we should just bug him for SimpleSynth.

Peter,
I have not been able to find a simple MIDI test synth either. So, I made one using Max. It is very, very simple, made for testing only. It may do want you want. You can find it here:

Apologies if I have replied incorrectly, I only get the digest version of the PD List. 

Hope it helps,
Mitch

Hi list,

when I still had to use OS X there was the Quicktime synthesizer
available as a Midi software synthesizer in the OS. 
It was quite handy to quickly play a few notes from Pd's Midi objects.
It seems to be gone from current (mobile-phone-like) versions of OS X. Is
this correct? Is there an alternative inside the OS or can anyone
recommend a good (preferable open source) replacement that works over
the IAC bus?

Thanks!
P
