Any chance of a Macos ARM version?

This program is wonderful. I do see a bit of a performance hit when it is running. I wonder how much more efficiently it would run if there were a native ARM version...

Hello! That's a good suggestion, I've done some tests to generate a universal binary for macOS with native support for both x64 and ARM versions. If you want to test it, you can find the resulting build in this side-repository: https://github.com/kosua20/MIDIVisualizer-CI-tests/releases/tag/test19 (sorry for the obscure names, this is where I usually test the automated build system to avoid messing up the main repository).
As I don't have an ARM mac at hand, I have no guarantee that it will runs properly (but you should always be able to force Rosetta emulation in the .app properties).

Wow! Thanks. I will test it and let you know.

I tested on my M2 Pro and so far it is working fine.

Great, thank you for testing! I'll enable this for future releases.
