Is native instrument compatible with latest macOS Sonoma?
I'm running Kontrol S88 Mk2, Komplete 14 Standard, Kontakt, Reaktor, and Native Access. Does anyone know if it's compatible with macOS Sonoma 14.0? Thanks!

I am thinking of trying it in a few days unless any major problems get reported. As far as I can see it's not a major update but more about consistency with iOS so I am thinking it probably won't break much, if anything.
Also I really want to try the Game Mode and see if it can also be useful for audio apps

Please report back if it works. I like to upgrade too if no major breakdown on some of my plugins. I'm also running Ableton Live 11 so that'll have to be compatible with Sonoma before any upgrade can happen.
Thank you!

I've always operated on the fact every macOS update is a complete flake and prone to issues and no amount of new features is worth the headache, would never update to a new version within the first week especially.
I am still on macOS 12 and only choose to update when needed or once a release has been out 6 months so i'm usually 1 version behind, generally that is the safest bet, but I also don't really use my mac all that much and never care about new features, stability if the important thing.

With all the shennanigans Apple does I like to drag the chain as much as possible. Stability is paramount. No need for me to live on the bleeding edge especially if its just gimmickry. I also wait and see what issues people have. Im not long on Monterey and its going well. Ventura seems to have caused a lot of problems for some folk so if Sonoma gets a good report I'll consider skipping Ventura and going for Sonoma some time down the track.

In my experience, DAW applications very often do not cause problems after a system update. The problem is plug-ins, which can become unstable and ruin entire projects. I'm staying on the Ventura system, maybe next year I'll buy another computer with another version of the operating system. Now in my opinion it is worth the wait.

I have updated my mac with Sonoma 14.0 and my Controller Z1 is not responding anymore.
Any advice to fix it?
When do you plan to release an upgrade for NI?

Same problem here.
After the Sonoma update my Traktor Kontrol S2 isn’t recognized anymore. Traktor Pro 3 is only stating after connecting the hardware: “Please connect and select an audio device”

I think it's a shame for a company this huge and widely used to not have at least 80% compatibility of their products, esp. the software product that installs the others, Native Access.
I would understand that certain plugins need to be updated to fit Sonoma, but not the software center it self.
Seeing only the Traktor products being officially supported is really lame. Not a single peace of VST or any other hardware.
Imagine: you are buying a new Mac NOW, it comes with Sonoma pre-installed. What should you do? Downgrade to macOS 13? Otherwise you can't use anything on your new machine.
NI, what did your devs do in the past 11 months? macOS 14 beta was available for a long time and this is usually enough for other companies to adapt their products to it.
I am using stuff from Arturia, iZotope and Spitfire - and they all managed to update their stuff to run smoothly on macOS 14.
Please do your homework asap!

Arturia still doesn't recommend to upgrade to Sonoma just yet:
Spitfire doesn't have such a page, but, judging from their product pages, Sonoma is not yet officially supported.
iZotope also doesn't recommend to upgrade to Sonoma just yet:
Frankly, I don't get why people always act like NI is the only company lacking behind macOS updates. It's simply untrue.

@Oliver Busse, that's exactly my thought! I hope that NI can be a bit more proactive than simply tell their customers to NOT upgrade to the new released OS version.
