Thank you very much for checking this and for your patience — and sorry for the confusion.
I’ve confirmed the behavior, and this is actually intentional by design.
Fantamidi is based on 32 steps as the reference. When you set it to 64 steps, the starting half depends on the DAW timeline position.
For example, if playback starts at step 17, it begins from the first half, but if it starts at step 18, it begins from the second half.
This is partly my personal preference: when I want to slightly change the development in the middle of a track, I prefer the MIDI to start immediately from that point rather than waiting for the loop to come around.
The same idea applies to 128 steps — I thought it could be useful to control the starting position from the DAW side.
To be completely honest, there are also technical limitations on my side, and handling this in a more flexible way is currently difficult.
Ideally, it would be great to switch this behavior with a checkbox, but I’m sorry that I can’t offer that yet.
That said, I truly appreciate your feedback — it’s very valuable.
I’ll record this as a feature request for a future update.Thank you again for your detailed report and for supporting Fantamidi!
Thanks for the report. I don’t know the details of your environment, but on my side Fantamidi is working in Logic Pro on macOS 15.7.2 (see the screenshot below). Could you please try restarting Logic Pro and macOS? If it still doesn’t appear, let me know your macOS version, Logic Pro version, and whether you’re using Apple Silicon or Intel.
You were right—it wasn't recognized when I opened it in Rosetta mode. I’ll look into some workarounds for this. Thanks so much for letting me know! ーーー Thank you for the details, and sorry I don’t have a clear answer yet.
I’ll take a bit of time to look into this and see if there’s anything I can do on my side.
Would it be okay if I get back to you after checking?

I bought Fantamidi1.2 today and found out a strange behavior of the application.
For the loop length of 32 it works correctly.
But when set it to 64, it starts sound MIDIs on 2nd half instead of 1st ones,
then reaches at the half point, it starts to play MIDIs on 1st half.
Please see attached pict.
I tested on
Mac OS Sequoia 15.7.3
M1
Ableton Live 12.3.5
Both AU and VST3 Fantamidi
P.S.
I love MIDI generators but have never seen Japanese
ones. So I will support this application from now on!
Peace!
Thank you very much for purchasing Fantamidi and for the detailed feedback!
I really appreciate you taking the time to test it and explain the behavior so clearly — it’s extremely helpful.
I’ll take a closer look at the issue with the 64-step loop and investigate it in detail.
Thank you for your patience, and I’ll get back to you as soon as I have an update.

Thank you for your quick response.
Actually I checked it on Session View not on Arrangement View,
so I did not care about the position of the Loop Brace.
Now I understand. Thank you so much.
Peace
I see, that makes sense! I haven't done much testing in Session View myself... This was really eye-opening. Thank you so much for the comment!
already put the file to /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components , but still not work for macOS Logic pro, please fix it

Sorry about the Japanese language in the screenshot.
Thanks for the Reply. Maybe my macOS too old , I will try next time.
macOS version: 14 , Logic Pro version: 11 , and use Intel chips , I will upgrade my macOS to 15 and try it next month
Thank you for your serious reply again.

I’ve updated Fantamidi to support Intel Macs as a universal binary.
If you’d like, please try version 1.2.
That said, if it still doesn’t work on your system, I’m truly sorry.
Thank you very much for your understanding.
Thank you, It work for version 1.2
