1 suggestionbx_control V2 has shipped with native Apple Silicon support since version 2.15 (released March 2022), adding native arm64 builds for VST3, VST2 and AU formats. If you are still running an older Intel-only version under Rosetta, you will see better performance, lower CPU usage and improved stability after updating to the native build. To get the latest native version, use the Plugin Alliance Installation Manager — this is the recommended update channel for all Brainworx and Plugin Alliance plugins on macOS. Open the Installation Manager, search for bx_control V2, and install the latest version; the Installation Manager will serve the native Apple Silicon build automatically on M-series Macs. If you do not already have the Installation Manager installed, download it from the Plugin Alliance website — it is Plugin Alliance's standard plugin management tool and handles installation, updates and licensing for all their products. After updating, your DAW will load the native build the next time you rescan plugins.
