Thanks. I've never joined a beta before and I'm new to sound production, but I'd be happy to join. You'd certainly get a more newb type of feedback from me. Using Ableton Live 11.

Yes, I'm on MacBook Pro M1 16GB M1 Monterey 12.1.

I'm a software engineer by trade with an M1 mini, so I could offer sound feedback on this beta.

I'm following up to post on this as I have an active project I'm trying to finish with Cremona Quartet and if I could test the beta with it, it could help me with the project and I could provide real, relevant feedback.

Thanks.

@AJ_Schuler @CGCB21 @justinac I forwarded your emails to the Kontakt team. You should receive an invite soon.

I would like to beta test the apple silicon version too on my MacBook Air (m1) and Mac mini (m1)

Thanks.

Hi everyone,

Last week I bought Komplete 13 Ultimate. After reading that I could install all the instruments that come with this bundle and that it will all work in Rosetta 2 (on an M1 device) I was happy to await all this new musical goodness.

Of course I have read that there wouldn't be full technical support on all parts of the bundle, but it wasn't clear to me that only 4 instruments would work within Kontakt 6 (Scarbee Funk Guitarist, Scarbee Jay-Bass, Scarbee Mark I, West Africa)

After reading this topic I have 2 questions:

• Will the new M1 supported version of Kontakt (which is now in Beta) sort out this problem? Making available all the instruments within this new version of Kontakt?
• Or will this only make sure that Kontakt itself works more smoothly than on Rosetta2?

It would be great if I could get some clarity on this. Thanks in advance!

DAW: Logic Pro 10.7.2 (Rosetta2)

Device: Macbook Pro, 13 inch, 2020

Processor: Apple M1-chip

OS: MacOS 11.3.1 (Big Sur)

Hi! I was instructed to leave a comment about the Kontakt 6 beta for M1. Where can I find it?

I believe that's what we're aiming for. 🙂

Would love to help with the beta, if it's not too late. I use an M1 Pro Macbook Pro.
