Lion Compatibility Information

Sweetwater Tech Tip Check out the complete archiveClick here »
Live8

Ableton
Working on a compatibility update to address existing issues with Live in OS X 10.7, which will be coming soon. Until this update is available, they do not recommend updating to Lion.

Focusrite
In the process of testing their entire product line for Lion compatibility and do not recommend upgrading yet. However, based on preliminary results, these products appear to work with Lion:

MOTU
Approved the current drivers of audio interfaces and MIDI interfaces for use with Mac OS X Lion.

Digital Performer 7.2.3 is not compatible with Lion at this time, but an update to correct this is in development.

MOTU is testing their virtual instruments for compatibility. MOTU suggests waiting to update to Lion until official results are posted.

ROLAND, Boss, and Edirol
Products that connect to Macs and use drivers for Mac OS X are compatible with Lion when using the latest Mac OS X drivers. Use the latest drivers for Mac OS 10.6 for Lion (10.7).

The only exception for Roland at this time is the V-Studio 700. Roland is working to update this as quickly as possible.

Visit our Lion Info page for the latest news on compatibility.
