Appears is the proper term, you can drag and drop a plug onto the app and it works, it just only scans the application folder.
nothing happens when i drop a plug in on the app.

Don't download from PA tho. PA is holding back native releases because they don't have their own shit ready :?

it's not beta either, it's same release as on PA except it's UB.
i don't see anywhere else to download it but at PA. the DS site just links to PA when clicking the download button.

Turns out there are 2 different apps with similar names. The DigiDNA Silicon app from Github is the one you drag a plugin onto. The first app I found was Silicon Info (from the Apple App Store). It only reports on the active application - there is no drag & drop functionality.

The majority of Spitfire Audio's libraries which run in their own plugins are now M1 native, including:

Abbey Road One 1.1
BBC Symphony Orchestra 1.5
Spitfire LABS 1.3.11
Originals 1.1.1x: Cimbalom, Drumline, Firewood Piano, Intimate Strings, Cinematic Soft Piano, Epic Strings, Cinematic Percussion, Felt Piano, Jangle Box Piano, Cinematic Pads, Media Toolkit

There are others, but most are still in beta and I can't verify them myself.

Thank you! :)
no problem but i just realized that apple's Activity Monitor will show if an app is intel or apple silicon. and in logic the AU Hosting Service plug in launches when a plug in is loaded and that also will say if it's intel or apple silicon.

so, these apps are cool and fast and simple but activity manager works as well.

Has anyone tried the m1 update for OTT?

Post

Logic still runs it in the AU Hosting

Post

I’m using the OTT beta and is native. Sometimes you need to reboot for plugin ti stop loading in compatibility hosting

Very strange. It shows as native in Studio One but not Logic. I tried the beta and the new version 1.31
