Little wonder, then, that multiple instances of Arturia’s extensive range of award-winning software instruments, including SEM V - an authentic-sounding software recreation of Oberheim®’s original SEM - can so easily be launched within any AU compatible DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) hosts running on Apple’s current crop of powerful desktops and laptops, having always been enthusiastically embraced in computer-based music-making circles. Apple has had Audio Units (AU) - a system-level plug-in architecture provided by Core Audio and adopted widely by many third-party developers, including, of course, Arturia - in its operating systems since the very beginning of OS X (introduced in 2001).
