sonorOS 4+

I am a trained sound designer and audio engineer, and I wanted to add Sound FX's to my workflow to keep me and my clients entertained during the process. This app gets the job done!

The only issue I'm having is that I'd like for the sound effects to turn off when I'm working on my audio design projects but whenever I set the Events to trigger in my desired app - the SFX continues to play.

I'm using Big Sur 11.7

Glad to hear you're enjoying sonorOS! If you add your sound design software to the list under Applications and set the special behaviour to "do not play any sounds" that should silence it while you're working. If for some reason that doesn't stop the sounds playing, as a workaround you could try selecting Mute from the menu. We'll look into this issue and re-test to see if there are any bugs affecting Big Sur. Thanks for making us aware of it.

I just downloaded the app and so far I love it. I would just like it if it was possible to add the sound to the keyboard in general, rather than specific keys. Right now you can add the sound to Fn keys, shift keys, and control keys, but there is no option to use the app on all keys in general. If that could be added with an update then this app would be perfect for me!

Hello there! Thank you for the kind feedback, we're very glad you are enjoying sonorOS :)
We would love to be able to extend support for all keys on the keyboard to allow general typing sounds, however Apple's Mac App Store admission policies currently prohibit us from doing so. To be able to see that you are typing would require the app to request Accessibility permission to control the user's computer and this is considered a "sandbox breakout", i.e. a potential security issue. If the rules change to allow it or if we find some other way to offer it, we will of course add support for general typing sounds.

Was really looking forward to an app that allowed customization of Mac system sounds, and was hoping that SonorOS would do the trick. Very disappointed in the inability to truly customize sounds. I was hoping to be assign my own sounds to various system functions (e.g., trash bin), but unfortunately cannot. Not sure if this is due to an Apple restriction or an area of opportunity for the developer, but highly disappointed.

Hello there. We hear you and we wish we could support more system events, but we have to work within strict security limits imposed by Apple's sandboxing requirements. This means trash bin, typing and certain other events are out of bounds, unfortunately. For maximum transparency and to manage expectations, the 36 supported system events are detailed both on the app listing page in the Mac App Store and on our website. If you have any suggestions for how we can communicate more clearly what the app can and can't do in advance, we would welcome your feedback.
