Loopy Pro is on the list but isn't possible yet as far as I can tell.
The iPad beta version will also run on the Mac.
So, is there a wiki for this yet? Or any site/page/document/other that is regularly updated?
Not interested in Ableton specifically, just AuV3 plugjns for the M1/M2 Mac family.
Studio One 6 seems to detect AUv3 plugins but they are not usable. Hopefully, it is just a bug and they will fix it in next release!
Great idea. Maybe you can get a wiki page started.
Yes, well. Some people (hint: not me) have been using plugins, including some AUv3, on M1 Mac computers for quite some time now.
Me? Well I only just got a M1 Mac. So, my knowledge is lacking. Otherwise, yes, I would be keen on starting this.
But thanks for the thoughtful advice!
The audiobus forum has a wiki. There is a link at the top of every page.
The url is https://wiki.audiob.us/
Yes, I know.
It doesn’t have many entries, as it stands. I was hoping there was a comprehensive list somewhere.
But never mind. It will be a matter of checking each app, which is not the end of the world.
The good thing about a wiki is that you can add entries yourself
If someone creates a wiki page, people can
add to it over time. It is just as easy as posting to a a thread and easier to
maintain and find over time.
There is actually already a wiki page dedicated to it, last updated a month ago, so no need to make an entire new page ^^ https://wiki.audiob.us/doku.php?id=ios_apps_that_work_on_m1_macs
VAPoly should be added to that list
Hi is there anything on the wiki on that topic ?
I wouldn’t want to use a script, I just use the standard uninstall - might be worth checking and manually removing directories though, if any exist.
It actually starts up and works for a bit in Ableton 11 (I’ve recently upgraded), but bombs out after a few minutes. Totally dead in standalone still.
Am I correct to believe that there is now some registration mechanism where if an app supports AUv3 that the system knows and reports this to a supporting host like Ableton Live? I can see some AUv3 plugins available + loadable in Live, but no corresponding plugin folders.
The Wotja Generative Music System is a free AUv3 host and plug-in for iOS and macOS (actually different apps for each, but just one bundle ID). https://wotja.com
What about for PC users. You can just get the unlock > @piccolo said:
So far as I can tell, they don’t seem to be interested…Too bad, I’d rather work on Studio One than Logic or Ableton
I have an Intel Mac, and am running FAC Alteza, Moog Model D and 15. Ableton is my DAW.
I so wish I could download others, such as Spacefields.
What's wrong with Spacefields?
I have not purchased any desktop versions of my ios plugins, like from FAC. But of the devs who offer free desktop installs with iOS purchase, only Igor's IMAL (Alitspace, Soundsaw), Moog, and Uwyn (MIDI Tape Recorder) show up in either Live or Reaper. I have others that do allow me to run them standalone on Mac but not as a plugin. Neither Altispace nor Soundsaw works properly in Reaper, but they do in Live. Seems to be hit & miss at present, and more miss than hit.
I think devs need to compile specifically to support loading as AUv3 plugin, and it may not be a small effort. Like I still don't quite understand how AUv3 plugins notify the DAW that they are available. Something has fundamentally changed there. Seems to be a system call or a plist entry and not a plugin in a known folder location.
I’ve seen no mention of this from them but that would be great .
Hi I am curious if Lumbeat's Future Drummer works on M1/2 MBP? I don't see it in any of the lists on this thread or the above wiki, though the App Store page info shows:
Mac
Requires macOS 11.0 or later and a Mac with Apple M1 chip or later.
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/future-drummer/id1206804871
Is anyone aware of a more update list of compatible apps? I'm curious because I am considering purchasing a MBA/P and this is a major consideration, and this list is 6 months old.
Is there anything as simple possible, such as going to the app store on your iPad and checking whether it's M1/2 compatible?
I wouldn't call it "simple" but you can visit each app individually in the App Store, then scroll down to Information > Compatibility to see a dropdown that provides this information.
Can't comment about Ableton, but all Cherry Audio AU plugins appear to work fine on desktop in macOS Sonoma.
(Running on M1, Sonoma, GarageBand and Logic Pro)
Thanks for comments guys 👍🏻
Lot of talk on here about AUV3 plugin, not so much about straight up app running in a window type situations. Maybe I'm expecting wrongly.. can we for instance, just launch like, MiniMoog and use it as you would on the iPad? Ie with midi keyboard etc. (Albeit without a touchscreen ofc).
Is anyone aware of an updated list of IOS apps that run on Macs?
Are there any new apps (new since the last update, so anything 2023/24) that should now be on the list ?
