Download
Consult the online doc if you need detailed INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS -this is strongly recommended for Linux.
Windows
JJazzLab-4.1.2-Win64-Setup.exe md5sum: fceb248a7c50a8d6c0a6328c0f04acdf
If you get a Windows Smart Screen alert, click on More info, this will let you run the installer anyway. JJazzLab is NOT a malware! You can use md5sum to check file integrity.
When installation package is new, Windows security servers don’t have enough statistics to evaluate its “security reputation”. Alert will disappear soon, once enough people have run the software.
Mac
You must first install FluidSynth yourself (I recommend via Homebrew).
Then:
-

Extract then run file bin/jjazzlab to start JJazzLab. -
