At UJAM, we are continuously striving to enhance compatibility by working on the next plugin update, to ensure that all our products have native support for NKS, Apple Silicon chips and the VST-3 format in the near future. Ensuring optimal performance is of the utmost importance to us as we want to meet all of our users' expectations. We are aware that especially Steinberg Cubase and NI Maschine users are depending on VST 3 support.

 

Timeline

Unfortunately we cannot provide a specific date or timeframe for the release of the next update. However, please rest assured that our development team is working diligently on this. As soon as we have more concrete information, we'll be sure to communicate it to our users.

  • Native support for Apple Silicon chips (M1, M2, M3, ...)
  • VST3
  • NKS*

❗️Important information for Pro Tools users on macOS

Currently, some UJAM AAX plugins do not run natively on Apple Silicon chips. However, you can still use them by opening Pro Tools in Rosetta mode. Here's how to do that:

  1. Close Pro Tools if it's currently running.
  2. Locate the Pro Tools application in your Applications folder.
  3. Right-click (or Control-click) on the Pro Tools application and select "Get Info."
  4. In the "Get Info" window, you will see an option labeled "Open using Rosetta." Check the box next to it.
  5. Close the "Get Info" window and launch Pro Tools.
After following these steps, Pro Tools will run using Rosetta, which should allow our plugin to show up and function correctly.

 

General information about Apple M1 chips

The compatibility of a Mac with the Apple M1 chip and UJAM products has been successfully qualified. Please note that some UJAM plugins are still running on Rosetta, as not all plugins are running natively on M1 (yet).

For now, please always start your DAW in 'Rosetta Mode' (Applications folder ➜ right click on the application ➜ get info ➜ check 'Open using Rosetta').

 

We recommend to always make sure to use the free trial of UJAM plugins, to ensure that everything works as expected.
