Supercharger is a tube compressor audio plugin from Native Instruments, available as an Audio Unit (AU) component for use in digital audio workstations (DAWs), music production software, and other compatible hosts on macOS. It emulates the warmth and nonlinear response of classic tube compression, with controls for input, output, and compression ratio, and is part of the Komplete Effects suite. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionSupercharger has a native Apple Silicon build available. The plugin is updated through Native Instruments' own update mechanism — Native Access — not through the host application or the Mac App Store. Open Native Access (the central management tool for all Native Instruments software), ensure you are signed in with your NI account, and navigate to the Supercharger product page within Native Access; if an update is available, click the update button to pull the native build. Alternatively, you can visit the Native Instruments website product page for Supercharger and download the latest installer directly, which will replace your Intel version with the native build. After updating, you may need to rescan your plugin directory in your DAW so it recognises the new native version alongside (or instead of) any remaining Intel build.
