AI Recommendation
1 suggestionA native Apple Silicon build of Sonic Pi has been confirmed running on real Macs in the Rosetta Check community. Anyone still on an older Intel-only build under Rosetta should update directly from the official Sonic Pi website to get the native version, which will run significantly faster and use less battery. Download the latest macOS build from sonic-pi.net — it automatically provides the Universal Binary on M-series Macs. Your projects and configuration will carry over without any issues during the upgrade.
