A-880
The Roland A-880 was a MIDI Patcher/Mixer at the heart of many MIDI studios in the 1990s.
It has been superseded by USB-based devices.
A-880 Manager is an application that allows you to upload and download connection setups to and from the A-880.
It is available for macOS and Windows.
A-880 Manager 3.2.0 Release Candidate 1 for macOS
This is the first 64-bit version of A-880 Manager for macOS.
It is compatible with Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and later, including macOS 10.15 (Catalina).
This version no longer uses the Carbon interface, but Cocoa.
Due to this transition, this version no longer suffers from any Carbon-related problems.
On the other hand, the application now may suffer from problems related to Cocoa:
The problem that forced the earlier Betas to autorestart in certain situations has been resolved.
See section 2 of the manual for the full list of changes.
Please report any problems related to the transition to 64-bit Cocoa in the A-880 forum at this site.
(You may also want to keep an eye on the forums for the other applications that now come in 64-bit Cocoa versions: MIDI Tools, BC Manager and FCB1010 Manager.)

Main new features of this version:
- The installer allows you to deselect non-essential files: the manual and the skin definitions.
- The application runs slightly faster due to the disabling of some debugging safeguards.
- Skins: 39 alternative user interfaces, mainly color schemes.
- Full support for Windows 10's "Per Monitor v2" DPI awareness protocol: at high DPI settings all text characters look razor-sharp instead of blurry, and the resolution of each window automatically adapts to the monitor on which it is (mainly) being shown.
- Some layout and scaling problems have been fixed.
