I'll add my request for Windows 11 ARM support. Bitwig Studio and Studio One Pro have ARM versions and Focusrite finally released an ARM version of their ASIO driver a couple of days ago, so my new Surface Pro 11 Snapdragon is almost ready to record. Now I just need an ARM version for the v8 Studio Bundle. Merci d'avance.

In addition to this forum, to put more pressure on Modartt you all should send the request from the "contact support" section (top-right menu) in your user area at https://www.modartt.com/user_area

Done. Thanks for the suggestion.

I still have my old laptop, so the lack of support for ARM isn't a dealbreaker for me at the moment, but I was hoping I'd be able to sell that one.

I'm considering getting an arm laptop. What's your setup and are you using ASIO?

I have a Surface Pro 11 using a Steinburg UR22MKII with ASIO.  I was hoping at least I could install Linux on it to get native Arm support, but currently I don't think that is possible.  I haven't tried Windows Subsystem for Linux, but I imagine it will introduce lag just like x86 emulation would.  The best option right now is if Modartt would just compile the software for Windows on Arm.  It should not be that difficult.

All new Macs are ARM and stupid fast. And have software optimised for them already.

Windows ARM needs a few more years for the audio ecosystem.

Now I just need a Windows Arm binary from Pianoteq, please.

Thanks for the tip.  I have no idea.  I have never tried to use that before.  I will look into it.  If I can just run native Linux Arm applications in Windows Arm, that would be very cool!

I have not tried Pianoteq on my Windows Arm Surface Pro 11 yet, either with Windows or Windows subsystem for Linux yet.  However, I looked into WSL(2) and it is still virtualization.  So there is probably some inherent lag built in, just like running x86 applications probably has some.

Bottom line: Please provide a Windows on Arm download for Pianoteq so it doesn't have any lag.  Thanks!
