In theory this translation layer is completely invisible to the user of the computer, and also requires no changes to existing software from developers. To make the transition easier, Apple have provided a translation layer called Rosetta 2 that allows software originally compiled for the Intel architecture to run on ARM-based Macs. However, this move to a new processor architecture requires all existing software to be recompiled in order to take advantage of their enhanced performance, and depending on the complexity of the application, the technologies used, and their dependencies on other software, that process may be more or less work for each software developer. These new processors promise faster performance while consuming less energy, making it possible to create quieter, more power-efficient computers that out-perform the previous Intel models. In June 2020, at the annual WWDC event, Apple announced that over the following two years they would be transitioning from using Intel processors in their Mac computers to using their own ARM-based processors, similar in architecture to the processors that have been used in iPhones and iPads over the past 15 years. This update also includes a few important bug fixes, and is recommended for all Dorico 3.5 users. Contact your DAW manufacturer for more details.We are pleased to announce the release of a new maintenance update for Dorico 3.5 that introduces official support for running Dorico on the latest Macs with M1 processor under the Rosetta 2 translation environment. *the information provided in this chart may not be accurate or up-to-date.

If your DAW is compatible, you will be able to use M1 compatible plugins and betas, which are listed below. If your DAW is not compatible, you will most likely need to run the application in Rosetta (Intel).

You should make sure your DAW is compatible. Kontakt Libraries: Please note that if you use our Kontakt libraries, you should see Natives Instruments' news and updates on compatibility here: NI Apple Silicon Compatibility NewsĪre you using OS13 Ventura? - Please check our full statement on this here: MacOS 13 Ventura Compatibility StatementĬubase 12 users experiencing Error 1 with M1 compatible libraries, please see this article

If the plugin you wish to use is in beta mode, you will need to follow the instructions on the beta links in the table below. Please use the tables below to check the compatibility of your DAW and Spitfire Audio Plugins.

Most of our products are now compatible with M1, whilst a couple have a beta available should you wish to run your Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) natively.
