Having come across the message I decided to try phonos ultimate 

Do you know if it has an apple silicon binary, or is it just x86

What did a Internet search show, when you looked for ‘Phonos Ultimate’?

It doesn’t say on the developer’s site (no contact info and the faq doesn’t have a search function), and in the app store it just says compatible with this mac, which for now may require Rosetta or it may not.

I’m sure the developer will be along to say for sure, but it looks like a universal binary to me. So, no, it doesn’t require Rosetta.

did you verify that it has an arm64 app?.  I find out by using Terminal to go to the /Applications/Example.app/Contents/MacOS folder and ls to get the files there and use “file filename” and it will tell you if it’s x86_64, x86_32, arm64, arm64e or a combination of two of those.  The reason I ask is because on older universal apps, the universal meant x86_64/x86_32, and new apps could be x86_64/arm64.

Or, I could just pull the trigger on the $5 app and look myself, lol.   I’ll do that.

PhonosUltimate: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures: [x86_64:Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64] [arm64]
PhonosUltimate (for architecture x86_64): Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64
PhonosUltimate (for architecture arm64): Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64

Doesn’t require Rosetta.
