AI Recommendation
1 suggestionSpark is an AAX plugin for Pro Tools and is not a standalone application — it is updated by updating Arturia's plugin in Pro Tools through the proper plugin installation channel. To check whether a native Apple Silicon version of Spark is available, visit Arturia's website or contact their support directly. If you are running Pro Tools 2023.6 or later (which itself has native Apple Silicon support), ensure you have the latest version of Pro Tools installed via Avid's Application Manager, as this is what delivers updated plugins including Spark. If a native version of Spark is not yet available from Arturia, be aware that Apple is removing Rosetta 2 support in macOS 28 (September 2028), so an Intel-only AAX plugin will stop loading in Pro Tools on that release. Contact Arturia to confirm their timeline for a native Apple Silicon build if you plan to upgrade to macOS 28 or later, and monitor their release notes for Apple Silicon plugin support.
