Kontrol S3 MAC M3 Chip

Jannie

Is the Kontrol S3 compatible with the new generation of Macbooks, M3 Chip?

Patrick Pagano

It has to be both Full Disk Access to Native Access & NTK Daemon and Private Relay in icloud ON the specific machine. I thought erroneously that iCLOUD settings were set universally for your aple ID but they are set per machine so it must be turned off for the M3 machine, reboot then it works

M3 should work fine, however, Sonoma is not officially supported yet:

That doesn't mean it won't work tho

Patrick Pagano

it working is moot because you cannot install anything because Native Access DOES NOT Work with an M3

I've seen a bunch people confirming NA works fine with M3... Many on reddit, for example:

Here's a user with an M3 talking about another issue:

https://community.native-instruments.com/discussion/19074/using-native-access-on-multiple-macs-with-library-on-external-hard-drive So NA at least worked for him.

Have you tried downloading the latest version? Did you give it permissions?

M1, M2 and M3 are all the same architecture, if it works for one it should work for all, in theory...

If all fails contact support.

I did everything that the support page says and i am not alone. I have been using macs for 25+ years and never had this difficulty. I gave everything [NA & NTK Daemon] full disk access and removed everything on the list and tried for a clean install with no luck. This is the only vendor with this problem. If they had an M3 installer verified on their downloads page it would go a long way to address this issue. As it stands it does not work properly. I completed everything now twice and when i run NA and click anything Install Fails.

@Patrick Pagano Have you contacted support already? Where do you have issues exactly? If it's Native Access and installing issues, then please get in touch here: https://bit.ly/NI_support_NA

If it's an issue setting up the keyboard, then please get in touch here: https://bit.ly/NI_support_Kontrol

Jeremy, would you mind posting the support links as a sticky? I think a topic something like "Official NI Installation Support Links" and stickied to the top would help a lot of people and make it easier to find. Seems I can never find them when I need to copy pasta them.

Also FYI @Patrick Pagano mentioned in another that they were able to resolve their issue.

@reffahcs That's a great idea, will do that as soon as possible!
