Voiceover support

This app is amazing, actually, all of your apps are. The only issue is that most of the UI is not accessible to screen readers. I use VoiceOver as a screen reader on my iPhone. If you're able to make the apps accessible I would be so grateful. I would be happy to help in any way I can. I wanted to send you some resources to help with this if voiceover accessibility is new to you, but I can't find a contact link on your website.

A M A Z I N G plugin - will it be on MacOS?

This review is mostly to reach out to the dev.

But I have to state that SoundSaw is a lushious distortion plugin, although distortion doesn't quite cover it.

It's a mix between distortion, compression, envelope and filter that creates dirty, pumping monstrosities with exquisite musicality.

If you're looking to impulse-purchase, you can't go wrong with this one.

Anything that needs soulful noisiness might do with a bit of SoundSaw. Be it gritty techno, lo-fi house or muddy 90s Boards of Canada vibes, SoundSaw is less of a tool and more of a creative partner.

So with AUv3 support in the latest Ableton Live 11.2 beta, I'm wondering if I'll be able to use it on the mac? I'd really like that.
