Hi @talek , that VST2 plug-ins are not supported any more on native Apple Silicon is a decision by Steinberg. That plug-ins, which are yet not compatible with Apple Silicon, can still be used in Logic is due to the fact that Apple has some special sandboxing technology that they don’t share with the rest of the world.
What is currently happening when you start Dorico? It just hangs? Do you get to the point where you can reach the Dorico menu and invoke Help > Create Diagnostics Report? If not, then please zip up the folders /Users/[yourname]/Library/Preferences/Dorico 4 VSTAudioEngine and /Users/[yourname]/Library/Application Support/Steinberg/Dorico 4.
Also, have you tried rebooting your machine?
I understand but, I just want my VST3 like on Logic Pro, More specifically Komplete of Native Instrument.
I can’t report because Dorico freezes and the menu is inaccessible. After a restart I manage to launch Dorico. I can use a new project but when I take my project, the VSTs no longer load and I can’t use playback. If I try to display an instrument, it freezes and if I try to go to the VSTs settings to clear the cache, as soon as I click on the VST Plug-In section, it freezes.
I just check rosetta one time to add Komplete and after first freeze, I shut app, uncheck rosetta and try to open again Dorico (I not saving this adding on my project).

Second time after first freeze, I can’t anymore launch again Dorico, Audio engine initialisation blocked. I need restart my computer if I want go on my project (without any operational VSTs) :

I try to uninstall Dorico and install again. If I can just using it like yesterday (with just Kontakt 7 Vst), it will be good. After that, if I can obtain all VST3 on it, it will be perfect.
During install of it, like the first time, I must click many time on OK when this pop-up appeared :
Reinstalling won’t help you.
Do you have the latest version of Komplete?
Native just announced 3 days ago the Apple Silicon compatibility for it: Apple Silicon — Native Instruments Community
Komplete is up to date, yes. I will contact them to ask if they are working on an arm64 version.
Thank you very much @Ulf , My freeze problem is solved!
