Is Reason ready for Sonoma on M2 macs?

[Re8et]

Is it safe to upgrade to Sonoma???

Only reason I know for upgrading is Sonoma uses new translation for M1 Max/ M2s with dedicated GPU for graphic heavy op.
They call it Game mode, and I don't know if it is just a language layer, that requires software to know of in order to make it even work... somwthing like Vulkan?? Or... something more like Rosetta??? No f...xx.. idea... it looks like it's integrated so all graphic mode get better latency and so do... midi instruments??? That's my hope there...

Drivers obviously is the main issue here...
Roland users beware...

Also there are mentions that ?integrated AI? scans your phot for pets and family members??? I don't know...
This is what DiffusioBee can do already on my m2 mini... might be linked to some futursitic phot stuff??? idk..

Cool tnx

I have legacy FW Motu Ultralite drivers, and many, many Roland boutique drivers amongst other HW's that could possibly fail,
I have to check on Roland website if they are ready. Already some HW like the JP08 and other first series support was dropped
at Big Sur, others at Monterey or Ventura. Hot topic. TE OP1 still worked in Ventura. Non supported drivers worked on Ventura as well
despite being unsigned... most concerning was usb-midi, but many still worked at least on that. Nektar 88+ keyboard.

I have a few plugin alliance synths also and Native instrument Reaktor that I will need to reinstall probably.
No M1 silicon version of Reaktor was released as of yet but it run np for me

UPDATED Also to to Reason 12.7 with new companion updater.
Everything works flawlessly so far.

All Motu and Roland drivers also worked right away.
