Cthulhu is a MIDI-driven arpeggiator and chord-generator plugin from Xfer Records, available as a VST and AU plugin for use in digital audio workstations and music production software. It helps producers quickly generate chord progressions, arpeggios and melodic sequences by playing single notes on a MIDI keyboard while the plugin expands them into full harmonic patterns. It is widely used in electronic music production, sound design, and composition workflows. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionCthulhu's native Apple Silicon build is available, but it is currently only distributed through the beta channel for existing customers — the default download from Xfer Records' site still provides the Intel-only VST. To obtain the native build, you must be logged into the account that purchased or registered Cthulhu, visit the Xfer Records forums at xferrecords.com/forums/cthulhu/, and download the ARM M1-native beta version from the official support thread. The demo version remains Intel-only and requires Rosetta for now, but all paid-license holders have access to the native beta. Once you have downloaded and installed the native build, rescan your DAW's plugin directories and the native version will appear alongside or replace your existing Intel copy. If you are evaluating Cthulhu with the demo, you can enable Rosetta in your DAW's settings (Get Info → Open Using Rosetta) until the demo is updated to native, or contact Xfer Records support if you have difficulty locating your license.
