OrchestralCompanionStrings_64
OrchestralCompanionStrings is an Audio Unit plugin for SONiVOX, Sonivox's music production and composition software. It provides a collection of sampled orchestral string instruments (violins, violas, cellos, basses) for use as a virtual instrument within SONiVOX or any compatible Digital Audio Workstation that supports AU plugins. The plugin is designed for composers, film score arrangers, and music producers who need realistic orchestral string sounds without recording a live ensemble.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionOrchestralCompanionStrings is an Audio Unit plugin component, not a standalone application, and it updates through SONiVOX's own installer and plugin management system, not separately. To get a native Apple Silicon build of this plugin, you need to update SONiVOX itself to a recent version that ships native AU plugins. Visit Sonivox's website or use their application updater to pull the latest SONiVOX release, which will also update any bundled Audio Unit plugins to their native arm64 builds. If you are unsure whether your SONiVOX installation includes a native build, contact Sonivox support directly with your SONiVOX version number — they can confirm native plugin availability and direct you to the correct download channel. Because Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (late 2027), ensuring both SONiVOX and its plugins are running natively on Apple Silicon well before that deadline is important for long-term compatibility.
