    I am not on Mac, but I think NTKDaemon is still x86. There is not AS version yet.

    Yeah cheers - what is confusing is that NA 3.3 blurb says doesn't need Rosetta. Then this error where it can't run NTK . And turns out NTK still needs Rosetta. What's the point of releasing 3.3 then?

    What on earth is NTK anyway?

    I am not on Mac, maybe starting 3.3 NTK does not need Rosetta. I do not know.

    And it may be so that NA 3.3 is AS, but NTK still does not. NTK is program that actually installs SW and probably also authorise it. Sort of backend for NA that itself makes frontend.

    Hi!

    With the release of Native Access 3.3.0, the NTKDaemon should no longer require Rosetta in order to run. It now runs natively on mac M1 systems.

    Please carry out the following steps:

    Go to Mac HD/Users/Shared

    Delete the "Native Instruments" folder.

    Restart Native Access. Does it then load correctly?

    Unfortunately, deleting this folder makes no difference.

    The NTK Daemon installer within the NA2 3.3.0 package contents still seemingly requires Rosetta 2 to run although the 3.3.0 installer no longer prompts for it to be installed.

    I believe that the devs are aware of this and are currently investigating.

    Thanks

    Hi Dissekt,

    You are quite right, I just had a catch up with the devs. It seems that we have a bug with the new NTKDaemon that we are now investigating internally with the highest priority.

    In the meantime, you would still require Rosetta in order to install the NTKDaemon, and therefore Native Access.

    We will come back to you once we have an update on the issue. In the meantime, sorry for the inconvenience!
