I sadly am forced to migrate to Catalina. JackRouter is not supported (I am exploring hopefully JackBridge but not functional yet, stay tuned!) but I see that Linux supports Jack natively for the scsynth. Is there a simple way to get that functionality on MacOS?
If you build supercollider yourself (and have jack installed), you can specify ājackā as the audio backend. In that case the serverās audio will always have to go through JACK, it wonāt be able to use the sound card directly.

great thanks. Iāll give that a try. I would ideally have both scsynth living on my machine so Iāll also check how to choose which to use if possible. I will update here whatever workflow I find helpful.
In the meantime I should have read the compilation instructions for MacOS:
Rock on! It works. Now I can use just the āscsynthā app from the terminal and define a server and voilĆ ! I could not find a way to just compile the scsynth part in the project without all the dependencies and you just saved my life (ok, just a few evenings, but still, thanks so much!)
Youāre welcome!
Just curious, what else are you running through jack? Thereās very few apps that support jack directly and you canāt route sound to anything else without JackRouter.

There is this still barely supported JackBridge which runs under Catalina (4 outs 2 ins so just enough for stereo for nowā¦)
So I can use my favourite DAW (Reaper) with it and SC in insertā¦ far from ideal, especially because JackBridge is not multiclient, but hey, it works for now and I need to change my machineā¦
Got it. Iāve seen JackBridge before.
Also it seems that SuperColliderAU is getting some attention which might be another option for DAW integration on macOS.
