Enso is on the list, Chris Randall said it's native, but anything i download (Demo from AD page or legit copy from plugin boutique) has only x86 code.

can anyone who has it via AudioDamage and not pluginboutique confirm it's native?

Softube - I emailed their support to ask about joining a Beta Program and got this back:

"I'm afraid we only share our betas with the beta team and a select few.
But don't worry, our full M1 support is coming soon, we are talking days now!"

If I do this, I will still post here when I make updates to it.
Let’s all here pay this man a 1$ or two on Paypal for doing this. Means nothing to us but he can be rewarded for this effort. What do you say guys?

Also Teilo, care to share your Paypal?

Kontakt 6.7.0 released in Native Access - M1 native in VST3 and AU

Post

Thanks for the heads up on Kontakt.

Anyone know if there is a way to specify whether to install VST vs VST3 for Native Instruments, or are we forced to clean up after? I love how the VST3s show up as vendor "Native Instruments" and the VSTs as "Native Instruments GmbH" ... don't they have QA people and beta testers to check and report on these inconsistencies?

Post

Most likely gonna see a alot VST3 only releases for Apple silicon, I've noticed a few plugins have dropped VST2 releases for Apple Silicon builds as Steinberg are no longer providing an SDK for them.
| MacOS Ventura MBP 14 M1 Pro 32GB RAM | PC Win 11 7950x3D 64GB RAM | Ableton | Bigwig| RME Babyface Pro | Yamaha HS8 |

No, it's a bug. It's supposed to be included. It's going to be fixed in 6.7.1.

I just checked the demo. Not native. I checked a couple others on the list, and they ARE native. Enso shows with the UB icon on their website, though. :shrug:

Added updates from Surreal Machines, Acustica. Added NI Kontakt.

Post

Regarding Acustica: The company with the worst plugin installer also has one of the worst websites. These people seem to delight in obfuscation. I have no way of checking their plugins, and they do not list compatibility or plugin versions.

So I can only add what people report in about, and trust its accurate.

yep, the full binary i downloaded from PB isn't native either.
The mail reply i got was "it's native since october 2020", and after replying with Arcichect screenshot dev disappeared

either:
- nobody uses it
- nobody noticed
- nobody cares
- dev doesn't care
- all of the above
if nobody noticed for f**king year and a half. :dog:

Read their latest Blog post, and you get an inkling why. I don't think it's wise to give this company any money.

unfortunately i've read a couple of times that communication with chris randall is "rough around the edges".
which is too bad, because they're unique and well-coded products.
