Plugins compatible with Apple Silicon natively

[JFreak]

Hi folks, let us create a list of native apple silicon plugins here. Feel free to add to the list whenever someone announces news. Will drop the sticky once most plugins are compatible.

I begin with Spectrasonics instruments, including Omnisphere.

We have a fully searchable database, which we are constantly updating as we get the information. Apple Silicon Audio Compatibility For Audio Plugins And Hardware

Thanks.

This would be nice to know.

Our fully searchable database, which we are constantly updating as we get the information. Apple Silicon Audio Compatibility For Audio Plugins And Hardware shows whether brands are supporting using Rosetta 2 or natively, with links to brand's site where you can get more information

Thanks Mike! Very helpful. I've bookmarked that page.

It's sad to see the lack of announcement from Lexicon (they've been discussing updates for ages but nothing is coming down the pike) and the confirmation that most of Exponential Audio's lineup will not make the transition to Silicon.

I just browsed thru this list, and found several examples of not up-to-date info on AAX ARM, so it seems to me, it's not "constantly updated".

Yeah, and another thing is some of the companies give a very vague statement like this:

Sonimus: "In Sonimus, as part of our commitment to our customers, we provide an up to date and compatible software so technology doesn’t get in the way of their workflow and productivity. That’s why all of our plugins are compatible with macOS Big Sur and M1 processors, so you can continue enjoying the analog sound from our products with no compromises"

It says yes in the supported column but when I contacted support they said the only plugins that is AS Universal is Console-A which I have and like a lot but cmon they should make it clear what there plans are for native support not Rosetta. They didn't have to do anything for that Apple did that with Rosetta 2. The other plugins have not even made it with AU and VST3 and AS.

The column in the PTE list that says 'Yes' tells you if they are running on apple silicon, AU, VST etc, - the right-most column tells you about native AAX support.

Yes I understand that but my point was that the only Sonimus plugin that currently and just recently fits both columns is the Console-A and none of there other plugins. Also the statement about being M1 supported was there before they even released the Console-A. Some what misleading to me and to my point was vague. I had to contact support to get the just of things and until this day none of the other plugins fall into either category unless they're saying supported means Rosetta but still........ Also if I'm remembering correctly the support for Pro Tools column was added later when Avid released the beta PT and the Support column was referring to AU, and VST3. The Chart was later updated to include AAX.
