Kontakt 7, Mac hardware and OS compatibility ?

HeartTouchMusic

Hello, Im a newb, so wanted to come right to the source of knowledge. I am wanting to get Kontakt 7 Bundle at the discounted price running right now. I have an early 2013 Macbook Pro i7 running Sonoma 14. Anyone know of particular problems running Kontakt 7 I should be caustious about before buying? Also, I have a 2010 5,1 Mac Pro that is running Mohave. It has the dual maxxed out processors, 4gb metal graphics and 64gb ram. Anyone have issues with this configuration? Any help is greatly appreciated. Craig

Mojave is not supported, you need MacOS 12,13 or 14 for Kontakt 7.

Sonoma is supported, but can I ask how you're running Sonoma on a 2013 MacBook? According to Apple the highest OS supported is Big Sur?

With a computer from 2013 then you ought to be extra careful checking the Kontakt 7 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS both for CPU need and for graphics card/chip specification :

Intel Macs (i5 or higher): macOS 12, 13 or 14 (latest update)
Apple Silicon Macs (via Rosetta 2 & natively on ARM in Standalone or in hosts that support it): macOS 12, 13 or 14 (latest update)
Windows 10 or 11 (latest Service Pack), Intel Core i5 or equivalent CPU
Graphics hardware support for Direct 3D 11.1 (Feature Level 11_0) or higher
4 GB RAM (6 GB recommended for large KONTAKT Instruments)
