Xpand!2 is a VST audio plugin from Wizoo (now part of AIR Music Tech) that functions as a versatile software synthesizer and sound module. It provides a broad library of high-quality patches spanning pads, strings, organs, leads and ambient sounds, and is commonly used by producers and composers in digital audio workstations like Ableton Live, Studio One, Logic Pro and Cubase. The plugin is known for its deep editing capabilities, extensive preset collection and integration with iLok licensing. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.

1 suggestionAIR Music Tech released a native Apple Silicon build of Xpand!2 in 2024 as part of a major overhaul. The native version is now available through the AIR Music Tech beta channel at airmusictech.com/beta-download.html — however, be aware that the standard download page still ships the Intel-only build, so simply re-downloading from the main site will not give you the native version. To get the native build: visit the beta-download page, log in with your AIR account (or create one if you do not have an existing license), download the native Xpand!2 installer, and run it to replace your Intel copy. After installation, the plugin will load natively in your DAW (Ableton, Studio One, Logic, Cubase or any VST3-compatible host), delivering faster performance and better battery life on M-series Macs. Your existing presets and settings will carry over without manual migration.
