I have tremendously enjoyed Punchbox for a while now. Probably more than I should have as I made it a critical part of my templates and workflows (as is Sigmund).

Since I have switched platforms (win to Mac) Punchbox is no longer an option for me in VST2 format. As I don't see or expect that to change anytime soon, what would other suggest as a replacement or as close as possible for Punchbox?

As weird as it may sound, VST2s work "fine" in Apple Silicon native. I too thought they wouldn't, and maybe they really shouldn't (I read somewhere that they shouldn't).

Yesterday Punchbox VST2 got updated to be Apple Silicon native compatible. This is a good step, but it's frustrating (being polite and to say the least) that they didn't migrate to VST3, since VST2 format has been discontinued for quite a long time already. So, it's still a pain since it's risky to use VST2 Punchbox in projects and find out later (soon) that they are not supported anymore.

My hopes were high when I read the email. Then dashed once I installed. Soooooo close.

I guess the wait continues on. Using Cubase as my DAW prevents me from using the VST2 unless I go backwards for projects at this point. Now that I have every other plugin I use up and running, this is the last hold out.

At least Sigmund got an update. I upgraded that right away (that was another I used regularly).

YEAH!!!!!!
Going on some tracks today!!!!
