Download for WindowsAlready installed? Syne checks for new versions by itself and tells you in Settings, Updates. It never installs anything without you.
Installing
The beta isn't signed by Apple or Microsoft yet, so your computer warns you the first time you open it. Here's how to get past that once.
- Open the downloaded .dmg and drag Syne into Applications.
- Open Syne from Applications. macOS says it can't check the app for malicious software. Click Done (not Move to Trash).
- Open System Settings, then Privacy & Security. Scroll down to the Security part, where it says Syne was blocked, and click Open Anyway. Enter your password, then click Open Anyway again.
- When Syne asks, allow the microphone (needed for Listen, which hears the mix through your audio input) and local network (needed for your decks, Art-Net and sACN lights, and the phone remote).
Right-click, Open no longer skips the warning on current macOS; use Open Anyway. You only do this once. Not sure which chip you have? Apple menu, About This Mac: it says Chip: Apple M1 (or M2, M3, M4…) on a supported Mac.
- Run the downloaded Syne Setup file.
- If a blue window says Windows protected your PC, click More info, then Run anyway.
- Follow the installer, then open Syne from the Start menu.
- When Windows Firewall asks, allow Syne on private networks. It needs that for your decks (Pro DJ Link), Art-Net and sACN lights, and the phone remote.
- Using a plain USB DMX dongle? If Syne doesn't see it, install the FTDI VCP driver from ftdichip.com and plug it in again.
Your antivirus may flag the beta because it's new and unsigned. If it does, tell us at support@synelabs.app.
Check your download (optional)
Each file's SHA-256 fingerprint is listed under its button. To compare, run this in Terminal (Mac) or PowerShell (Windows) with the file's real name:
shasum -a 256 ~/Downloads/<file> or Get-FileHash $HOME\Downloads\<file>

The quick start takes you from opening the app to lights following a song in about fifteen minutes.
