Archetype Plini
Archetype Plini is an audio plugin from Neural DSP that models the guitar amplifier and effects chain of Australian guitarist Plini Minasian. It is available in multiple plugin formats (Audio Unit, VST, AAX) for use in Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) and compatible audio hosts on macOS. The plugin replicates Plini's signature tone and is used by guitarists and producers for recording, mixing and live performance within host applications like Logic Pro, Ableton Live, or Pro Tools.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionArchetype Plini is currently an Intel-only Audio Unit plugin (version 2.0.1 as of late 2022) and does not yet have a native Apple Silicon build. As a plugin component, it is not updated separately through the App Store; instead, you need to use Neural DSP's official installer. Visit the Neural DSP website or check your Archetype Plini authorization account for the latest installer, and contact Neural DSP support directly to ask about Apple Silicon native build plans and timing. Since Apple is removing Rosetta 2 support in macOS 28 (September 2028), the Intel-only Audio Unit will stop working on that release, so you should monitor Neural DSP's announcements for a native build or consider alternatives like other modern guitar amp plugins that already ship with native Apple Silicon support. In the meantime, ensure your host DAW is running natively on Apple Silicon — some hosts (Logic Pro, Ableton Live 12+, Studio One 6+) now ship native builds, and they may offer better Rosetta compatibility for Intel plugins, though this is not guaranteed long-term.
