Driver
Driver is a VST audio plugin from Native Instruments GmbH. It is a component designed to run inside digital audio workstations (DAWs) and audio production software that support VST plug-ins, such as Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Cubase, Reaper and similar professional and amateur music production tools. Like all VST plug-ins, Driver cannot be launched or used as a standalone application — it must be loaded by a compatible host DAW.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionDriver is a VST audio plugin from Native Instruments and is not a standalone app — it runs inside a DAW that supports VST plug-ins. VST plug-ins are updated through their vendor's installer or update manager, not through the host DAW's built-in update system. For Native Instruments plugins, the correct update channel is Native Access, Native Instruments' plugin and software management tool. Open Native Access on your Mac, log in with your Native Instruments account, and check for updates to Driver. Native Instruments has shipped native Apple Silicon builds of most of its major plugins and software, so updating through Native Access will pull the native version if available. If you do not have Native Access installed, download it from native-instruments.com and use it to manage all your NI plugins and instruments going forward. This ensures you stay compatible with future macOS releases, including macOS 28 (September 2028) when Apple removes Rosetta 2 support.
