Cthulhu is a MIDI effect Audio Unit plugin for Ableton Live, Logic Pro, and other AU-compatible DAWs, developed by Xfer Records. It provides intelligent chord recognition and arpeggio generation, allowing producers to trigger complex chord voicings and melodic patterns from a single key or incoming MIDI note. Cthulhu is widely used in electronic music production for quickly exploring harmonic ideas and creating dynamic chord progressions. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionCthulhu now has a native Apple Silicon build available. The native version was initially released through a beta channel for existing customers, but you can access it through Xfer Records' official website and forums. Visit xferrecords.com and log into your account (the account you used to purchase Cthulhu), where you will find the native ARM-compatible installer available for download. After downloading and installing the native build, rescan your DAW's plugin directories to recognise the updated Audio Unit. If you are evaluating Cthulhu as a demo user, the demo build still requires Rosetta at present, but purchasing customers have full access to the native version. Once you install the native build, you will see performance improvements and better battery life on M-series Macs compared to the older Intel version running under Rosetta.
