Steinberg Releases Windows on Arm Previews

Windows on Arm preview versions are the first Steinberg DAWs and plug-ins to run natively on Snapdragon X-series processors.

HAMBURG, Germany — Steinberg has today announced the release of several preview versions supporting Windows on Arm, which have specifically been developed and tested on devices powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite processors.

Recently shown at the Snapdragon Summit, these preview versions enable Steinberg customers using Windows 11 to run Cubase 13, Nuendo 13, HALion 7, HALion Sonic 7, Groove Agent 5, Retrologue 2 and Padshop 2 natively with Snapdragon X CPU technology.

And through the use of Microsoft’s Arm64EC technology, many existing x64 VST 3 plug-ins can be run unchanged under emulation within Cubase 13 and Nuendo 13, preserving customer investments.

“Thanks to our continued partnership with Microsoft, we’re excited to announce that our DAWs and a selection of our virtual instruments for discerning musicians, producers and engineers are available in preview for Snapdragon X PCs today,” says Director of Engineering Ralf Kuerschner. “By supporting Windows on Arm, we’re expanding our software applications to new computing environments, delivering more freedom to our customers to use the system of their choice.”

Availability

The Windows on Arm preview installers as well as a preview of the Yamaha Steinberg USB Driver for Windows on Arm are available from the Steinberg Download Assistant in the Complementary Products category, as well as from the Steinberg Support pages.

These available previews have undergone extensive testing, but are not yet fully optimized.

Therefore, they cannot ensure the same level of stability and performance which customers running Steinberg’s officially supported platforms are used to.
