Legend crashes Ableton on M1/Big Sur

[pvdz]

Hi guys,

I am on a Mac Mini with Big Sur and M1 chip.
Whenever I try to open The Legend, Ableton Live crashes. Is there a beta available or anything that I can try to make it work?

Thanks,
Niko

there are no new versions for the new mac stuff yet, I'm sure it will come along soon enough (ie as soon as SA get the relevant mac/OS)

good old apple, eh

This is from November 16:

"Should you buy an M1 silicon Mac?

If you’re thinking of buying an M1 Mac, there’s another consideration: not only does your software need to be compatible with Big Sur, but it also needs to be updated to ‘Universal’ status to run natively. There is a potential workaround in the form of Rosetta, an Apple technology that enables Intel-only apps to run on M1 machines, but it remains to be seen what kind of implications this has on performance.

What's more, we don't yet know how well these new Macs perform as music-making machines. While Apple is promising great performance and longer battery life, its claims have yet to be tested".

That's why "cutting edge" is often called bleeding edge. It can be painful for early adopters of any new technology.

Legend works here emulated on M1, but we strongly recommend waiting for the native M1 versions of our plugins. This eliminates the potential risk of bugs within the emulation layer, and the performance is substantially better, too.

We'll start with DUNE 3 (probably within January), then Obsession and The Legend will follow afterwards.

Almost everything works for me on the M1 .. and the performance, you won't believe it until you see it.
For me it was absolutely worth it switching from an i7 MacMini to an M1!

Looking forward to the updates. The sooner the better!

Thank you

*update* I just got the legacy version working for me now!

You are having to use Rosetta at this point ?

I guess so. But most stuff works pretty stable so far. Just a few things here and there don't work perfect yet.
All software optimised for M1 would be the best of course in terms of performance.
