    Does anyone know if MIR works with M1 Macs?  I just installed MIR PRO and it crashes on launch. 

    Thanks!

    MIR Pro is not compatible with Apple Silicon, sorry to say so. The upcoming MIR 3D will take care for that.

    Kind regards,

    Exciting!  What's the rough release schedule? Q2, Q3, Q4?

    Last year, actually. *sigh* But too many things got in its way - iLok, Corona, changes in VSL's development team, and other less obvious stuff. We're 90% done since last summer, I even used the Beta version for real production work already. Nevertheless, I am still hesitant to announce any release dates ... thanks for your understanding.

    In theory do you think this would work for MIR with an M1 Mac:

    • Install PC version of VEPRO / MIR in Windows, in Parallels (virtual PC)
    • Connect Mac DAW and Parallels PC over virtual network? 

     I remember doing something similar many years ago with sampler plugins when there was a 2GB RAM limit with 32-bit plugins - I had a set of Fusion virtual PCs virtually networked and it worked well with very little overhead.

    That's worth a try, but I honestly don't know which hardware related issues you might encounter when running Windows on Apple Silicon.

    As far as I can tell, the eLicenser isn't being recognised by Windows 11 running inside Parallels on the M1 MacBook Pro.

    Windows Device Manager says "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)", despite having installed the eLicenser Control Center.

    UPDATE: iLok seems to have the same issue - dongle not seen by Windows 11

    So... I guess that's the end of that experiment :)

    Are you able to access _any_ memory devices via USB from "paralleled" Windows? Maybe you're just missing a driver component for this connection in general.

    I've used it the past two days in VE Pro 7.1120 under Monterey 12.3 on a silicon mac.

    it figured in a weird behavior of SINE Player where it appeared as though it was not letting the signal through, but I have no clear sign that would indict MIR. It seems like something this System on Chip does very well.
