Hello.

Is it possible to run the Keyboards and the Software on Mac OS Monterey (OS12), or do I really need Mac OS Ventura to operate? (upgrading would sadly mess with my Apogee Elements Interface...)

Regards

Martin

    That is a misunderstanding - sorry if it was not clear. I will say that the system requirements have been reworded from what I provided, so I'll bring that to the content team.

    The keyboard is fully functional with macOS 12.5 and higher, all features.

    These are the System requirements for the MK3

    What I understand from these (not really clear) specs is that the keyboard will work on MacOS12 but only in its midi mode (and only midi 1.0 but not midi 2.0), while to use all its functionalities you need MacOS13

    I suspect that if the team leader of the product says it is working with 12.5, it will be the case ☺️ (but checking it out is in any case a very valid way to discover it)

    Hi there,

    I too am restricted to MacOS Monterey due to the age of my iMac.

    I am considering buying a Kontrol Mk3 controller, but my concern is whether all of the daw features will work with my version of Logic Pro X. Due to Monterey, the latest version of Logic I am able to run is 10.3 (I think), which doesn’t meet the requirements for integration of Kontrol Mk3, according to the speciations page on N.I.

    Is anyone able to confirm this please?

    Many thanks.

    Where do you see that Ventura would mess with your Apogee Element? AFAIK, it's discontinued, but still supported up to latest os.
