The R2R release of the EastWest PLAY 6 sampling engine is designed for Windows, not macOS, though the official, free PLAY 6.1.9 version supports Mac. While legacy PLAY 6 is available, official support recommends transitioning to the OPUS engine for better performance on modern systems, particularly on Apple Silicon. Official software and updates can be downloaded via the EastWest Installation Center

: Older versions of PLAY are not native to Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3 chips) and may require Rosetta 2 to function within a DAW like Cubase or Logic.
