There's no VST2 in the macOS installer ONLY when launched on M1 for the recent update to version 1.5. VST3 -- yes; Audio Unit -- yes.

So I installed them on my INtel machine and then copy and pasted the VST2 files to the M1. They seem to work fine! :party:

Why would they not appear in the installer?

You should ask Synapse but some companies are dropping VST2 on newer OS'es due in part to Steinberg not supporting VST2 on Apple Silicon.

The omission is most likely intentional. Steinberg's lawyers went around specifically warning developers not to support VST2 on Apple Silicon. Some developers have ignored their veiled threats, but most have agreed to drop support.
I hate signatures too.

The Steinborg must be defeated, lest it assimilates us all.

That's why CLAP was born as a plugin format. Well, not specifically to defeat Steinberg, but to end their stranglehold on plugin formats.
