Many Antelope Audio software applications currently run as Intel-based applications on Apple Silicon computers (M1, M2, M3, M4, and future M-series processors) through Apple's Rosetta translation technology including the current Antelope Audio applications.
Apple has confirmed that Rosetta support will remain available through the upcoming macOS 27 release. This means that Intel-based Antelope Audio applications will continue to function on Apple Silicon Macs running macOS 27 or earlier.
What Happens After macOS 27?
Apple plans to discontinue Rosetta support starting with macOS 28, which is expected to arrive in 2028. New computers shipping with macOS 28 installed will no longer support Intel-based applications through Rosetta.
However, this does not mean your existing system will suddenly stop working.
If you continue using macOS 27 or an earlier version, your Intel-based Antelope Audio applications will continue to function normally. Updating to macOS 28 will be the deciding factor.
Our Transition to Native Apple Silicon
Antelope Audio is actively working toward native Apple Silicon support.
We have already introduced native Apple Silicon support for:
- Antelope Launcher – Version 3.4.1 runs natively on Apple Silicon without requiring Rosetta.
- Native Plugins – The Native Plugins library is already Universal and runs natively on Apple Silicon.
As part of ongoing transition, we will gradually release:
- New Control Panel applications as Universal/ARM versions
We are committed to migrating all active portfolio products to Universal/ARM-compatible software.
In addition, we will make every effort to update software for legacy products wherever technically possible.
What Should I Do?
At this time, no action is required.
Your Antelope Audio software will continue to operate normally on Apple Silicon Macs running macOS 27 or earlier.
As we release new Universal/ARM software versions, they will become available through via Antelope Launcher and bundle updates.
Intel-based Antelope Audio applications remain fully functional on Apple Silicon Macs through macOS 27 thanks to Rosetta support.
Even after Rosetta is discontinued in macOS 28, users who remain on macOS 27 or earlier will continue to be able to use Intel-based applications without interruption.
