iZotope's Neutron 3 just got updated for Apple Silicon.

What’s the point of stating that other plug-in manufacturers have attained Apple Silicon compatibility? To shame NI into action? If NI had the staff / resources to achieve this, they would. It’s quite clear they don’t. Just saying…

I don't think that they have more resources. The point is, that Apple announced it nearly two years ago and released the first M1 Mac 1,5 years ago. NI also has experience, they have an iOS app. I also don't understand why they did not release Kontrol with priority, this harms the hardware directly, nobody wants to launch the DAW in Rosetta to use the controllers.
(And after 10 years, they still have no retina graphics. 🤷🏼♂️)

As someone with an M1 Mac, I’m as keen as everyone else here to see compatible updates. After the time frames you’ve quoted, it’s either not feasible to complete with their current resources or they are not prioritising the work. Let’s not forget that once again Apple has made these changes further up the chain which has developers scrambling to make their code base compatible as they do almost every year with their incessant OS updates.

It simply takes time. Also, copy protection maybe needs to be redesigned for M1 CPU....

NI let their technical debt get far, far too high. Some shame should be felt and called out.

Will there be support for Ipad IOS in the future to run the mission?

How can it be that just about all other companies now have M1 native support, but not NI?

I don't understand how we came to this conclusion. Noone is asking to be prioritized over other platforms, it's not like NI should have only one developer in the company that works on a prioritization basis. And if your statement is true in our case, looks like Win users are not bringing enough revenue for NI to support Apple users.
Anyway, I can see that complaining will not change anything as we don't have any alternatives.
NI develops best-unique solutions, but monopoly is an ugly game.

Agreed, the technical debt is devaluing the big Komplete bundle (IMHO) which is increasing bulked out by unsupported / near-legacy products.

iZotope Vocal Synth 2 is Apple Silicon native now.

Poor leadership...short-term thinking... chasing shiny objects rather than doing the deep needed fixes.
I think they have done the smart thing finally with the partnership and Soundwide, so good things are ahead.
BUT.. stilled mired in the frustration of past decisions for now. No instant way to right these wrongs.
They hopefully have an A-team working behind the scenes to jump over the current mess with something new and clean that has some sort of pathway for prior product assets to participate.
Bandaids aren't gonna be enough.
NI needs its own sort of "Rosetta" for past products to participate in "something new"...

iZotope have all their flagship products AS. And almost all of their "second tier" products are AS too.
