Apple M1 support

If you PM @BFD_Drew he should be able to provide you with one.

I’ve been able to use the BFD3 M1 beta build (vst2) via Bidule/Patchworks in Cubase running native and it’s been very solid so far and is holding me over ok.

While not ideal it works as a temp solution, at least for people who already have Bidule or Patchworks (I wouldn’t tell anyone to go spend $100 on either of those just to use BFD).

Dev showed me a working M1 build this week. It was a debug build, but we’re not too far away from running a build through beta and getting it out to the public.

Hey @BFD_Drew, I’d love to get a hold of that beta (VST3 is enough), but I can’t seem to send you a PM as a I’m a new forum user. Any chance you can PM me with a link?

Welcome Eyal,
Here’s how you get promoted so you can private message Drew:

Thank you! However hopefully being a BFD user for over 10 years is a better qualification for the beta than randomly spamming the forum until I get the privilege to send a PM, won’t you agree? :slight_smile:

You don’t need to post/spam. Just read. Open up 5 or more topics scrolling down each one slowly and you’ll be able to PM Drew. If you click on the “Replies” header to sort on replies, you’re sure to get topics long enough to meet that requirement. The forum uses Discourse and a lot of these rules are set by them, not by BFD, so sorry, no credit for being a long time customer :roll_eyes: :slightly_smiling_face:

Hope Drew gets you sorted soon. Good luck.

I would love to do the beta for m1. I don’t need audio units. What do I need to do? Thanks

Hi Sweben,

Please see this link: BFD Private Beta - Now Taking Applications!

I’ve done the application twice and have not received anything

I applied, too… no response to date.

I just want to be able to use BFD on my M1 Mac. Spent a few hours trying to fix it without success. No other plugin issues; I don’t hav e time to waste on this, so new tracks are all using SD. Makes this BFD1/2/3 owner sad.

Please, how long do I have to wait?

in early 2021 I was told that the Apple Silicon release wound be available “within the next few month”. Two weeks ago (February of 2023) I bought Superior drummer 3. For me the wait is over…

An M1 native build just hit the beta team.

Fantastic news :slight_smile: x twenty

I just hope the next M1 build doesn’t break those of us still on Intel and that it can clean up some of the nagging bugs that have been lingering. :crossed_fingers:

As a beta tester, I can testify it’s working flawlessly so far in logic so far (and I didn’t have any auth problem despite not having launched BFD in ages)

I. am. so. happy.

congrats to the team !

Am I missing something. I thought this has been in beta testing for awhile?
Not trying to be snarky, just thought it was further along than this?
Thanks

It was, then we paused it for a while. We resumed in recent weeks, and we’ve now got something that is almost ready for public consumption!
