All I know, is that enabling OpenGL on Softube plugins on Big Sur lead to massive graphic glitches, but since Monterey it is the opposite. OpenGL when off is slow and sluggish. Turning it on makes scrolling around on e.g. Modular smooth as butter.

I'll have to correct myself: not everything is working. Both XLN plugins I have don't work properly. Addictive Keys and Addictive Drums. They play allright, but the GUI is just black.
On the other hand: Softube plugins now work with OpenGL enabled, what leads them to run a lot smoother than before.

I cantacted them and they put me on a trial version of AK and AD. It's working now

ARM native?

Thx. I asked them about that for Big Sur and the reply I received was very vague.

They will eventually get there. I can't wait to ditch Rosetta...

Then we'll see what these machines can do, though I ain't complaining too hard. I haven't made the switch to Monterey, so ADD2 and ADK still work fine here.

How come that?
Contacted support telling that since the update to Monterey the plugin window is just black, then a guy named Gustaf from XLN wrote back telling that he flipped a switch for my account and that if I start the XLN Online Installer there will be new test release versions for AKeys and ADrums waiting to be installed.

So, they have working updates to be release soon. Thanks!

All my Softube plugins look like this in my new 14" Macbook Pro M1 Max 64GB laptop under Monterey.
Anyone also experience this issue?

I can confirm that neither Nimbus nor R4 are working in Monterey (but they did work in Big Sur). Not only do they crash the validation in Logic Pro (both in native and in Rosetta mode), they even instantly crash any project on which you have an instance of them.

XLN Audio RC-20, on the other hand, is weirdly working fine for me, i.e. the GUI is normal, not black.

Anyone with IK stuff functioning on all cylinders?

Same issue on my 16” M1 Max 64GB. Sadly it’s the only thing stopping me from using this computer as everything else essenital seems to work.

Hey I found the fix, if you haven't already, please install Saturation Knob. This one will display correctly.
In your DAW, open saturation knob and click the "cog" icon at the upper right corner, scroll down and disable OpenGL (this option is global to all softube plugins).
After you disable OpenGL , close the DAW, reopen the DAW and now all your Softube plugins will display correctly.

and as of now there is no update planned per Izotope's list of apple silicon pending update schedule.

will add that UVI Relayer won't work for me on apple silicon/monterey

Nimbus, R4, Trash and some others won't be supported on M1.
