Default What software do I need for D-Command?

I have a blue D-Command, and I've been running a perpetual Pro Tools HD 12.8.2 on a late 2013 Mac Pro ('trashcan') that's running Mac OS Sierra.

I'd like to maybe buy a newer Mac (a 'Mac Studio' with Apple Silicon perhaps?), which obviously will come with a much newer Mac OS.

Do I need PT Ultimate in order to keep my D-Command operating? Or will 'Studio' suffice? What about V-Control Pro (which I only just learned about a few minutes ago)? Is that what is required for a newer Mac?

You need Ultimate. And as far as we can tell Avid will not support Icon surfaces on Apple Silicon machines. I would plan carefully. V-Control is useful but not a replacement for the full Icon workflow.

It works for now running in Rosetta on those Macs. You could just plan on that and ride it out. Or switch to Windows

And, if I understand correctly, another option would be to jump to Logic Pro and make at least limited use of the D-Command via V-Control?
