Changelog

1.2.0 Latest

Released October 17, 2026. No iLok needed.

Pro Tools support (AAX) for SIPHON and Governor Field Unit, on Windows and Mac.
SIPHON inside Pro Tools can host your other instruments (VST3, and AU on Mac) through its own safe instrument scanner, the same way it does in other DAWs.
Everything from 1.1.0 is included: crash-safe instrument scanner, much older Mac support (10.13+), 32-bit and native ARM DAWs on Windows, and robustness fixes for unusual hosts.
Your existing license codes keep working, and saved projects and presets open unchanged.

Windows: Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit. VST3 for 64-bit, 32-bit and ARM DAWs; AAX for Pro Tools (64-bit); standalone app.
Mac: macOS 10.13 High Sierra or newer. Universal (Apple silicon and Intel), also under Rosetta. VST3, AU, AAX and standalone app. Pro Tools itself has its own, newer macOS requirement from Avid.
Formats: VST3, AU (Mac), AAX (Pro Tools), Standalone. No VST2.
Tested hosts: Pro Tools Ultimate 2026.4.1 (Windows; Mac native and under Rosetta), REAPER (5.99 to 7.82), FL Studio 2025/2026.

Windows installers are code-signed. Mac installers are Apple-notarized. AAX files are PACE-signed.

New instrument scanner: reads your plug-ins in a separate safe process, so a broken or crashing plug-in can't take your DAW down. Lists instruments only, rescans only what changed, and has a scanner window with progress, cancel and a problem list.
Fixed: some DAWs could hang on quit after SIPHON's window had been opened.
Runs on much older Macs (macOS 10.13+; 1.0.1 needed the newest macOS).
New on Windows: 32-bit DAWs and native ARM DAWs.
More robust with unusual hosts (odd block sizes and sample rates).

Fixed a crash in some hosts and wrappers (for example Blue Cat PatchWork) when audio settings changed.
More robust with unusual hosts; mono-to-stereo track support.
Runs on older Macs (macOS 10.13+).
New on Windows: 32-bit DAWs and native ARM DAWs.
