Compatibility with macOS 11 Big Sur

Version 11 of macOS (Big Sur) makes some major changes compared to previous operating systems for the Mac - for instance, it is the first version that not only supports Intel CPU based systems but also the new ARM-based Apple Silicon CPUs (i.e. M1), developed by Apple.

The following list shows which current ESI products are compatible with macOS 11 with both, Intel CPU and Apple Silicon/M1:

• MAYA22 USB
• MAYA44 USB+ / MAYA44 USB
• UGM192 / UGM96
• UDJ6
• U24 XL
• GIGAPORT eX / GIGAPORT HD+ / GIGAPORT HD
• U22 XT / U22 XT cosMik Set
• MIDIMATE eX / MIDIMATE II
• M4U eX / M4U XT / M4U XL
• M8U eX / M8U XL
• ESU22
• KeyControl 25 XT / KeyControl 49 XT / KeyControl 61 XT
• cosMik uCast
• planet 22x (refers to the Dante Virtual Soundcard v4.2 software from Audinate)

The following products are compatible with macOS 11, currently only on Intel CPU based systems:

• MAYA44 eX

For the following products we provide a preliminary beta release of a driver for macOS 11 that is still under development. It works with both Intel CPU or Apple Silicon/M1 based system and can already be used:

• U86 XT
• U108 PRE
• U168 XT

We will update the list when the situation is changing. Any product that is not listed here has not been tested by us for compatibility, typically because it works without a driver or it is a legacy product that is no longer supported.
