AIR Instruments - Apple Native Support?

[lowthert]

Hello all. With the exciting development that we can run PT on AS Machines without using Rosetta 2 - it leaves me with a problem because I use some AIR Instruments a lot - Hybrid 3, DB33, Mini-Grand and Boom. As of now - they cannot run natively - does anyone know if there are plans to release AS supported versions? Thanks!

Waiting patiently here too. The Avid compatibility list says they are compatible but they’re clearly not.

I don't have Hybrid, but the rest of them are running fine here, except Structure, I've been told, the only one not updated.

Only the Avid bundled ones are all native.

A lot of these are not…..

Thanks! I don't think so - where do I find that? I have a current perpetual licence and can only see AIR Bundle 2018 in my links... Hopefully this will fix it!

Appreciated.

Found it - will give it a spin. Thanks!

OK - I downloaded the AIR Bundle and I have the plugs back in Native. However, Hybrid 3 is not one of the bundled products - and so I have the same issue with that. I am sure the update will work - but cannot find anywhere to download it - the customer portal at AIR is terrible and I don't have access to the products I have bought!

Yep... similar experience here.

Transfuser died off here last year (2022.9), and as of 2023.3 Structure seems to have given up the ghost as well.

It seems doubtful that the non-bundled AIR stuff- Hybrid 3, Loom, Strike, Structure, Transfuser, Velvet- will get any further attention... at least that's the impression I got from a recent long string of emails with folks at InMusic ... but they'll GLADLY still sell it you the AIR IEP3 bundle!

I've been slowly finding replacements for these... bummer bc I'm very familiar with each & can get musical ideas down pretty quickly with them.

Steer clear of AIR!
