Supercharger
Supercharger is a tube compressor audio plugin (VST format) from Native Instruments, part of the Komplete Effects library. It models the tone and character of classic tube compression and is used by music producers, audio engineers, and mixing professionals in digital audio workstations (DAWs) to add warmth, control, and colour to individual tracks or buses. The plugin integrates into professional DAWs via VST connectivity and is a core tool in mixing chains for vocals, drums, bass and other sources.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionSupercharger has been updated with native Apple Silicon support and is listed as compatible in Native Instruments' official Apple Silicon compatibility matrix. To get the native build, you do not update the plugin directly — instead, use Native Access, Native Instruments' official plugin and software manager. Open Native Access on your Mac, navigate to Supercharger (under Komplete Effects), and check for updates or reinstall to pull the native version. Native Access will automatically serve the correct architecture for your Mac. If Supercharger is not yet showing the native build in Native Access, ensure your Native Instruments account is up to date and that you have the latest version of Native Access itself installed from ni.com. This will ensure the plugin runs natively on your Apple Silicon Mac with full performance and compatibility before Rosetta 2 is removed in macOS 28 (September 2028).
