The new EZD 3 looks very promising! I hope for a similar upgrade for Ezkeys. My main concerns are the resizable GUI and more interaction/customisation with MIDI, similar to ezbass.
Now there are a couple of hosts which have native M1 support. It’s kind of remarkable when avid changes something, developers are all over it to put in a lot of effort to make just to make things compatible. Of course it’ll perform terribly, unless you fork out more money to buy some external dsp’s. The M1 performs amazing with no outboard gear, the price/performance is actually good for a change. Other developers have put out M1 compatible versions of their plugins even before the M1 macs have hit the shelves. Yet toontrack (among others) don’t seem to care.
Hit the record button inside ezkeys, put your garageband playhead in the right position and hit “play” in garageband, you’ll notice the midi information gets “recorded” inside of EZkeys. Make sure “follow host” is turned on inside ezkeys.
It would be very helpful if Toontrack at least put a statement saying “not compatible yet” or “compatible with rosetta2”. I’ve got plenty of newsletters etc. from other manufacturers announcing their work in progress, stating they are Rosetta 2 compatible and some of them even announced they’re ARM compatible (way before the release of the new Apple hardware).
