1 suggestionFaber Acoustical has confirmed that SignalScope runs natively on Apple silicon hardware — the vendor's product pages explicitly state the app "runs beautifully on Mac (with Intel or Apple silicon)". If your copy of SignalScope is still the older Intel-only build, update to the latest version through the Mac App Store (for SignalScope X) or by downloading SignalScope XM directly from Faber Acoustical's website. Both current versions ship as Universal Binaries. The company offers SignalScope in three forms: the free-to-try SignalScope X (subscription model, available on the App Store), SignalScope XM (perpetual license, direct from the vendor), and the older 2022 editions (SignalScope Pro 2022 and Basic 2022, which received updates through 2025 but are now in maintenance mode). For new users, SignalScope X on the App Store is the straightforward starting point. Existing users on 2022 editions should verify their version number in the app and update if available — native support has been in place since at least macOS 11, so you should already have a native build if you are on a recent version.
