Dear Customers,
Since the release of V Collection 8.2 and FX Collection 2.1, Arturia software titles can run natively on M1 (& above) Apple Silicon equipped computers as Universal Binaries (Still compatible with Intel-Based setups).
If you are an owner of such devices, and you want to learn more about the Apple Silicon compatibility of Arturia products, please refer to the following sections.
The ASC is now a universal binary and can run smoothly in both Apple Silicon Native and Rosetta mode (For Intel-based computers).
You should not have to care about anything specific here as everything should be working fine as long as proper permissions (Full Disk Access) are granted and as long as the needed background login items are allowed to run.
For any other questions or in case of any potential issues related to the ASC, please check the following articles:
Finally, for more details about specific software instruments and plug-ins, please refer to the following sections.
The MCC will currently only operate in Rosetta mode.
So, do not be surprised if you may be prompted to install "Rosetta 2" if not already done on your Apple Silicon computer.
Please find more information about the Midi Control Center in our dedicated FAQ article below:
All the instruments from V Collection 8.2 are Universal Binaries working both on Apple Silicon or Intel-based setups (With Rosetta).
To check if your instrument runs under Rosetta, or natively, you can go and check in the "About" section of the plug-in for the build number.
If the build number contains "ARM64", the plug-in is run natively on your Apple Silicon computer.
If it contains "Rosetta", the plug-in is run under "Rosetta mode".
For standalone instruments, you can also check that in the "Applications" folder of your computer. Right-click on the plug-in, then click on "Get info". From here, you can see if "Open with Rosetta" is ticked or not.
In DAWs, plug-ins are run natively or in "Rosetta mode" depending on the DAW versions and parameters.
Note
If you own a V Collection bundle starting from VC4 Update up to VC7, do not be worry as most of the instruments do still benefits from the latest improvements and are also universal binaries. Make sure though to refer to the dedicated "Legacy products" section for additional details.
Pigments is of course also Universal Binary, just like the other V Collection software products above.
All the effects from FX Collection are Universal Binaries.
To check if your effect runs under Rosetta, or natively, you can go and check in the "About" section of the plug-in for the build number.
If the build number contains "ARM64", the plug-in is run natively on your Apple Silicon computer.
If it contains "Rosetta", the plug-in is run under "Rosetta mode".
Plug-ins are run natively or in "Rosetta mode" depending on the DAW versions and parameters.
PolyBrute Connect can also run natively with Apple Silicon processors.
Just make sure to download the very latest version available on the page below:

No further updates being planed,Analog Lab 4 activation will not be possible on Apple Silicon computers
Make sure to move to Analog Lab V to keep using Analog Lab.
You should be though still able to access all the Analog Lab 4 "Factory" presets via the "Factory" bank if needed.
Note
User presets are usually automatically imported from Analog Lab 4 to Analog Lab V. If it is not the case, you can import them manually by fetching them in the local "Presets" folder of Analog Lab 4.
Only some selected legacy products were updated to be Apple Silicon compatible in "Rosetta mode".
Here is the list:
Here is the list:
- B-3 V1
- Jup-8 V3
- Piano V1
- Spark 2
- Stage-73 V1
These legacy products will not be developped again to run natively on Apple Silicon computers.
Note
If you'd like to use the the presets from the legacy software listed above within your DAW environment in native mode (except for Spark), make sure to rely on Analog Lab V, and to enable the "Include Legacy Sounds" option from the hamburger menu.
FL Studio:
Starting from version 20.8.4 of FL Studio, FL Studio cannot support both M1-native plug-ins/effects and plug-ins/effects used in "Rosetta mode".
In case you would be using some legacy instruments (Operating only in Rosetta mode), please refer to the "HOW TO SWITCH BETWEEN APPLE SILICON AND ROSETTA MODE" section of this article to have FL Studio operate in "Rosetta mode".
When in possession of a Mac computer equipped with an M1 chip, you will be offered to download Rosetta the first time you want to open a software application made for Mac computers equipped with Intel chips.
Once installed, you will be able to use the said applications developed for Intel chips on your M1-equipped computer.
For more information about "Rosetta" and its use, please refer to this article from Apple.
