We’re excited to share that many Joey Sturgis Tones plugins are now fully compatible with Apple Silicon (M-Series) Macs, with ongoing updates continuing to expand native support. While a small number of older, legacy plugins remain limited to Rosetta 2 or have been replaced with newer versions, the majority of our catalog already runs natively on Apple Silicon. To ensure the best performance and stability, we recommend updating to the latest available versions listed below (these builds also include fixes for Apple’s M4 chip).
