You may use the forum search. This question was addressed earlier.

Thanks Cliff for your suggestion.
I have searched the forum and I found conflicting answers concerning Synfire V1 and Apple's M1s.
I found two places that state that Synfire V1 runs through Rosetta:
"We have a prototype of Synfire 2 that runs natively on M1 already. It is 300% faster than version 1 under Rosetta. " https://users.cognitone.com/comment/18820#comment-18820
, and the systems requirement page at Cognitone
System Requirements
Synfire Pro
macOS 10.11 or later
Intel or Apple Silicon (M1)
Windows 10

But I also found this statement by Andre in response to a post by you Cliff
"Version 1 is not compatible with M1 hardware. It is a miracle that it launches at all." https://users.cognitone.com/comment/18821#comment-18821
So this is why I posted my question.
Does Synfire V1 run under Rosetta?

Synfire 1 doesn't run on M1 natively. It also has issues with Rosetta 2 and is too slow to be workable.
Synfire 2 runs natively on M1 and is even faster there than on a comparable Intel Mac. Synfire Pro users can already upgrade. Sparks and Express editions will be released in a few weeks.

Will Sparks and Express editions have Factories?

The complete feature comparison map will be published when the editions are finished.
