Custom Shop
Custom Shop is a software utility from IK Multimedia that manages and controls hardware devices and software instruments in their ecosystem, including synthesizers, drum machines, and audio interfaces. It serves as a configuration and firmware update tool for IK Multimedia hardware such as the UNO Synth and UNO Drum, allowing users to edit parameters, store presets, and keep firmware current. The app is primarily used by musicians and sound designers working with IK Multimedia gear in studio or live settings.

1 suggestionAs of mid-2023, Custom Shop was confirmed to run on Apple Silicon Macs via Rosetta 2, but IK Multimedia has not released a native Apple Silicon build. Since then, there have been no public announcements of a native version in development. Given that Apple is removing Rosetta 2 support in macOS 28 (September 2028), you should contact IK Multimedia directly to ask whether a native Apple Silicon build is planned before that deadline. If you rely on Custom Shop for managing your IK Multimedia hardware, this is an important question to get answered soon — an Intel-only build will stop launching entirely once Rosetta 2 is retired. In the meantime, the app continues to work under Rosetta 2 on your current macOS, but plan accordingly for the 2028 transition.
