Will Workbench HD get an update to maintain compatibility in 2026?


Recommended Posts

Workbench HD still works with MacOS 26. But 27 (Golden Gate) will end Rosetta compatibility with Intel apps, and that means Workbench HD ver. 2.15. With Stadium's Variax interface coming out (whenever it happens), and with a new OS for Mac (maybe Windows too), will Line 6 update Workbench HD to permit Variax users to continue editing the Variax models on the desktop? (Especially important since I'm considering pickup up a used Shuriken SR250.)

I would update the firmware to the latest version now, using OS 26. It is highly unlikely that there will be any future updates so Intel app compatibility won’t likely matter for firmware.

I don’t know about Workbench HD compatibility updates. With your used Shuriken you may also need to pick up or keep on hand an older computer, Mac or Windows, just to run Workbench HD in the longer term if it’s important to you.
