Hi there! I'm working in Logic Pro on a Mac Mini Late 2012 and Catalina. I would love to upgrade to a newer, faster Mac, but I am afraid, that the Integra-7 editor plugin will not work anymore then. This plugin is a must-have for me- I cannot imagine using my I7 without it. On the Roland download page the latest (my) version is for MacOS 10.15, but no info for OS beyond that. No reply from support concerning this. Anybody with a newer system than mine who can confirm whether the editor plugin is still working on Ventura?
Thanks so much for your info in advance.
Integra-7 Editor Plugin Mac Compatibility
Re: Integra-7 Editor Plugin Mac Compatibility
Hi,
Albeit a substantial Roland user for three decades, I am an Integra-7 newcomer.
Bought mine recently, to get a convenient portable container for (almost) all the Roland PCM libraries and Supernatural engines, without exacting precious CPU resources of my computer.
Only to discover that, quite surprisingly and very lamentably, there is no editor compatible with Mac Ventura, while just the librarian app, which has rather limited utility, is still usable.
I will try the Win route instead, to see if I can still load the last version available.
Frankly, it is really disappointing to buy a new device at anything but a sale price, and to realise that the vendor has silently moved the model to the vintage area, dropping altogether the development of the essential software component, which makes building studio-sets, customizing patches and loading library expansions actually manageable, both for live usage and in a DAW-based compositional environment.
VERY bad on the part of Roland. It is just because of my deep affection for the brand, that I refrain from sticking to the recent mainstream trend, of blaming them for greedy priority of profit, in exploiting to death again and again their existing technology and sound content.

Re: Integra-7 Editor Plugin Mac Compatibility
I bought a used Integra-7 last week, and I am not sure if it is a OS compatibility issue, but rather a CPU architecture issue.
I got a M3 Macbook Air and while the editor plugin installs just fine, Cubase immediately disables it because it is "x86 architecture".
