Hello ! I ordered a Minifuse 4 to run it on a Mac M4 “Sequola”. Does the Arturia “Minifuse” also support Apple Silicon processors? Thank you, Wolfram
Hi @Bombe . Welcome to the community.
I suggest you ask Arturia support about this.
MacOS Sequoia is quite new. Perhaps this article also apply here:
I assume this article also mean M4 processors is supported:
But again i suggest you ask Arturia support to be certain. I’m on Windows.
I can imagine it all work already, but i don’t know. It has to be confirmed.
It’s allways like this, when Apple or Microsoft come with changes. Vendors don’t know before it’s checked.
To be fair to Apple, software developers like Arturia typically have a three-month window prior to go-live to make their software compatible with the annual update to the OS, with betas of the OS downloadable for developers from July and to the public commonly from August. But yet year on year we get the “don’t upgrade yet” guidance from Arturia because they can’t test “until the final release is available”, which has now been available for nearly two months, let alone the betas.
It’s fine Arturia telling owners of older Macs like me to not upgrade yet, but new owners get the current OS straight out of the box. They need to be a bit more focussed IMO.

it is not Arturia saying it won’t work. Apple has major bugs they don’t like to wave red flags about. Apple loves to change major underlying libraries that they themselves don’t understand what else it affects. so every developer is at the mercy of what will and won’t work and the more complex the underlying code the more likely there can be knock on effects that stop things from working in unexpected ways. Would you prefer Arturia to say “go ahead and upgrade” knowing it might crash and burn, or take the cautious approach and say don’t upgrade right now?
All correct answers. I make music with it. For 45 years now. Started with Logic and an Atari. Well, I’ve pretty much gotten through everything, believe me. And I would never have updated immediately … but I bought the Mac NEW!! So I have to use what’s on the machine. Therefore my question… and without reproach!

Nah I’d actually prefer it if the clowns at Apple wouldn’t keep issuing so-called ‘new’ operating systems every 12 months, and instead concentrated on fixing the existing OS’s bugs to give us the modern equivalent of Snow Leopard, which was the most stable and bug-free MacOS to date.
But considering Apple won’t do that because they’re a-holes, my next preference is for Arturia to effectively use the window Apple provides to developers pre-launch to check their software for readiness. It’s two months since the official release of Sequoia and nearly five months since developers gained access to early betas, and four months since public betas. That should be a way big enough window for purchasers new to both Macs and Arturia to have some assurance that everything will work well together.
EDIT: other manufacturers manage this: my Motu M4 firmware was patched October 1st, not that I’ve updated my MacOS yet…nor will I until at least 15.3
My new Mac mini M4 with Sequoia 15.1.1 and Minifuse 1 Firmware 1.5.0 works perfect, directly connected via USB-C.
But I didn´t use DAWs, Midi or something else, I just plugged 2x Yamaha HS3 into the device. There´s one limitation, but this is well known, you can´t use the Volume slider of the OS, you need to adjust it via the physical knob. For me it´s ok.
