Maschine Jam in 2022?

That's very good news! I did some digging and I found the following post from NI (they say that Jam is compatible with Apple silicon via Rosetta 2):
@djadidai I found also your post in the old forum:
What I haven't understand so far is whether a driver is required for using Jam in MacOS. For example, in the NI Support site there is no driver for using Jam (or Maschine Mk3). Maybe the driver is part of the pkg file when installing Maschine software?

Plug and play baby:) no drivers needed. Plug it in and get lost in musical creation and jamming. Tell me when you leave earth haha!

I think the question is whether a future new M1 version of Maschine will continue to support Jam. The Jam works great with M1 now… but are they planning to break it? Given that the soon to be launched update to Maschine is non Native I am guessing you should get a good 12 months out of the Jam before they have an opportunity to break things.

Yes indeed 😁 and I thank you for that 🙏
However, as @Eight4aWish commented I am concerned whether Jam will be supported when Maschine software will run natively on M1 MacBooks. As you said, the Jam works fine now but Maschine software runs via Rosetta 2. I just wanted to double check, that's why I am asking an official response from NI. 😎

Use what is currently available now and worry about the future when it arrives.
There is no way to double check on the future of products. Even if a company tells you today they’ll support a product for lifetime, they may change their mind tomorrow if it’s convenient to them. See Access Music and their vanished Virus TI support.

Jam is awesome, I have two! It works perfectly fine with M1 Big Sur and Monterey.

@ozon I really appreciate your input. The thing is I cannot justify a 200€ purchase for a used product just for using it over a one-year period. I am not expecting a definitive answer as a means for bulletproofing my purchase. I just want to make sure that when the Maschine software will run natively on M1 computers it will continue working. And yes, you are absolutely right, I have to use what is currently available and not worry that much about the future. Anyways, I submitted a request to NI and as soon as I have some sort of feedback I will let everyone know.

I bought one last Friday. Unquestionably worth it due to the (rather imprecise but awesome) strum mode on the touchstrips, performance fx on the fx strips.. those 2 features alone worth it. Plugged it into my Maschine+ and immediately lit up and synched. Weird it's no longer made and super glad I found one on Reverb

What specific configuration do you mean?

Being a pure class compliant usb device it doesn’t need any additional piece of software than what’s already in the operative system, and usb class devices will continue to be supported by Apple (others explained that, just trying to rephrase it 🙂).
If your question is whether or not NI will drop Maschine support for the Jam in the future, as others guessed it’s unlikely, considering they deliberately added support for it on Maschine+ recently.
Amazing addition to the already great Maschine workflow by the way. Grab one before their prices skyrock 🤓
