What is the framerate displayed ?

The framerate (FPS) measures how many frames are rendered by Millumin per seconds. Usually 50fps or 60fps.

The framerate is managed by macOS. Indeed, it connects the hardware and synchronizes your monitors all together : if they are at 50hz, the final framerate will be 50fps. If they are at 60hz, the final framerate will be 60fps. And Millumin is synchronized to this final framerate.
 If your graphic card cannot render fast enough, the framerate may drop : check this by selecting Display FPS from Output menubar. If the framerate is not stable, click on the Optimize button.

If you run movies at 24fps, 25fps or 30fps, no problem : Millumin will render all the frames.
 However, if you run a movie at 50fps, it is better if your monitor works at the same refresh rate : 50hz. So movie frames are synchronous to framerate (and all movie frames are rendered).

What are the Addons ?

What is this green or orange dot on my outputs ?

This is a security feature coming on macOS 12 Monterey and macOS 13 Ventura : it shows you that an application is listening to the microphone or using your webcam. Unfortunately, this dot appears on all the displays connected to your computer. The solution is to disable System Integrity Protection then use Recording Indicator Utility.
 Since macOS 14 Sonoma, it is possible to disable directly this dot, see this article.

How to fix a problem with Dante Virtual Soundcard ?

For an unknown reason, Dante Virtual Soundcard on macOS may create a conflict with applications using advanced audio rendering techniques.


This problem can be fixed via the following operation (from our understanding, it resets DVS configuration the correct way) :

  • launch the Apple application Audio MIDI Setup
  • create an aggregate device that includes Dante Virtual Soundcard
  • select this aggregate device in System Preferences / Sound / Input
  • then select Dante Virtual Soundcard
  • remove the aggregate device
  • restart Millumin if needed

Is there a Windows or Linux version ?

No, sorry. For now, we are focused on the Mac version.

A Windows version is a very huge project. Currently, this is not a priority and we cannot guarantee it. However, you can vote for this idea. No Linux version is planned.

However, you may be interested in MilluNode : a cross-platform companion to extend your Millumin on one or more computers, so that Millumin can take control and share the workload. It can also play Millumin projects autonomously.




Why my computer is getting hot ?

When the heat cannot be dissipated correctly, your computer will slow down in order to preserve electronics. In this case, you might see a message in the workspace of Millumin (”your computer is slowing down because the heat cannot be dissapated”).
 Install the Hot application to learn more about this behavior.

If you are in this case, you probably need to open your computer and clean the fans. Indeed, over the years, they can accumulate a lot of dust can and be obstructed.
 If the problem persists, run Apple Diagnostics to look for a hardware issue, or you can also bring your computer to some local repair shop, so they can check it (for example, some thermal paste might be missing on your CPU).
