VSL has been AS native for a while now except for the Organ Player. Certainly VE Pro, Synchron Player, Harp and the Pianos are all native and work very well.

Everything from Vienna Symphonic that is going to be Apple Silicon native has been native for some time now.

The only one they are ambivalent on is the free Vienna Ensemble. But at this point, anyone who was using that should have moved to the Vienna Ensemble Pro (which is Apple Silicon Native for a good time now).

The problem is backward compatibility. I couldn't possibly count the number of our existing sessions which use Ensemble (non-Pro). We revisit old sessions often, having to switch to Rosetta to do so, just for Ensemble. It's not the most challenging thing in the world, but it's silly to use Rosetta for one plugin. Some larger sessions (as orchestral sessions tend to be) even have trouble playing under Rosetta, especially when combined with modern efx plugins which aren't super CPU efficient.

Vienna has been saying for many months, with the latest update being less than a month ago, that they DO plan on updating Vienna Ensemble to Silicon, they've just not done it yet.

Of course no new sessions use the non-Pro version of Ensemble.

(Now my last hold out is Lexicon which is just because they are absolutely terrible at software maintenance/support. So maybe in 5 years?)

Yes! I just installed 3.11.1 today and all is good. Just waiting on VK to deposit my Altiverb 8 license and I'm off to silicon land!!

This. Has anyone heard anything about when it goes full native? This is about the only one I can’t do without and it has me opening old sessions in Rosetta, which works fine but it is slooow to load.

I wrote to cranesong before the holidays but I got no reply yet…

Anyone have suggestions for a good IR loader?

And I was beating my head trying to figure out which plugins I was getting the receiver or quit errors due to issues with a plugin.., I love Ingite Libra, nadIR is also great for free but libra lets you load 8 IRs, you find the sweet spot immediately.

Cabinetron by 3 Body Tech.

The phase align feature has pushed it to the top of my list for IR loading.

I can hardly believe I'm typing this but Vienna Ensemble (non-Pro) has finally gone Native.
