macOS Tahoe 26 Compatibility Advisory Notes

Testing is presently ongoing with Apple’s macOS 26 Tahoe operating system. As issues are encountered and resolved they will be noted in this web article.

4 October 2025: Fix for crashes under Rosetta

Problem Description

All plug-ins in the portfolio may experience isolated crashes at start-up when run under Rosetta in macOS 26.0 and 15.7.1.

Solution

All plug-ins have been updated to resolve the issue, see the downloads page and update to a version dated 4/10/2025 or later.

12 September 2025: Unresponsive lower UI region in Logic Pro / GarageBand

Problem Description

Some Audio Units in Logic Pro and GarageBand appear to have a thin unresponsive region above the plug-in name label.

Impact Assessment

User interface elements within this region do not respond to user actions.

This causes the open/close down triangle button in Seventh Heaven and Seventh Heaven Professional to be difficult to use as a portion of it is non-responsive. The image below illustrates an approximation of the zone in the UI that is affected in solid red; the button affected is shown in white outline.

Very few third party plug-ins have responsive UI in this region so it is hard to determine how widespread the issue is, but it does affect plug-ins from other manufacturers and a minimal test plug-in created to diagnose the issue.

An example of other plug-ins affected is FabFilter Pro-Q 4, it has an unresponsive button in a similar region per the illustration below.

Further Details

The width of the unresponsive region appears to depend on the width of the plug-in name label indicating that this could be due to the plug-in container itself so the problem has been reported to Apple for further investigation.

If the plug-ins require an update this will be undertaken once more information is known.

Suggested Workarounds

1. Standard and professional editions: aim for just above the top of the button itself, this should fall within the responsive region which is only 18 pixels or so high.

2. Standard and professional editions: In the settings menu (cog icon), Interface, Advanced Controls, select “Initially Shown” and then all future instances will initiate with the panel open.

3. Professional edition only: click the “Master Equaliser” or “Advanced Controls” buttons instead of the triangle to open the panel as these are not within the affected region.
