Rest assured, you will still receive the latest Kits, Lines, and Samples that we add to Arcade every day!
What this means is that you will not be able to update Arcade any further or gain access to any upcoming features or improvements.
If you'd like to keep receiving future updates and improvements to Arcade, your system must run Mac OS X 10.15 Catalina or newer, or Windows 8.1 or newer.
If you are unable to update your OS, please note you will NOT lose access to the version of Arcade you are currently using and it will continue to function normally for the time being as long as you do not update it to the latest version, though technical support will be limited to basic troubleshooting on any systems that are not compatible with the latest version of Arcade.

Arcade legacy installers are available here. Use these older versions of Arcade if you're using OSX 10.9-10.12 or Windows 7/8. Additionally, Mixcraft 9 is supported on Arcade 1.3.11.
Please note: Compatibility is neither promised nor guaranteed on operating systems no longer supported by the manufacturer.
