AI Recommendation
1 suggestionVC 160 is a VST plugin from Native Instruments, not a standalone application—it runs inside a DAW host. To get a native Apple Silicon build of VC 160, you do not update through the App Store or a generic download page. Instead, open Native Instruments' Native Access software (the vendor's plugin and software management tool), authenticate with your Native Instruments account, locate VC 160 in your library, and install or update it through Native Access. Native Access will automatically serve the native Apple Silicon build on M-series Macs. If you don't yet have Native Access installed, download it from the Native Instruments website and use it to set up and manage all your NI plugins and products. VC 160 is confirmed as part of the Komplete suite and has shipped in native Apple Silicon form as of the Komplete Effects collection updates, so you should see the native build available in Native Access.
