Hi all !

Looking to get a 2nd Computer for the studio and looking at an Apple Mac Mini M1 which is already currently running Monterey 12.4.

Three quick "dumb" questions:-

1 -> will the current Mac 1.01 Mac Driver install and natively run in an Apple Mac Mini M1 running Monterey 12.4 ?

2 -> is Boss Tone Studio 3.20 a Native M1 App (?)  -or-  does it run under the Rosetta Translation Layer ?

3 -> does Boss Tone Studio run much quicker in an M1 Mac that it does under Windows 11 where it runs like ridiculously slow sludge ?

Thanks,
Ben

number 3 is easy to answer, no.
Issue is the Tone Studio communication is limited to midi data speed of 31.25kbs, even over USB,
 as ridiculous as it seems for a device today, GT-1000 patch's have a lot of data in them,
 and the throughput is bottlenecked the same on Windows as it is on Mac OS, or Linux, or IOS or Android.
