Mac OS 14 Sonoma Compatibility in 2024?

Hello!

Are there any potential updates coming towards full Sonoma compatibility?

I’ve been diligently referring to this page but there hasn’t been any update since April:

https://support.native-instruments.com/hc/en-us/articles/13671802084765-macOS-14-Sonoma-Compatibility-Statement

Also curious if it’s possible to list out what is NOT currently compatible with OS14. I have so many different NI products that it’s difficult to gauge whether or not it’s worth updating now and rolling the dice.

Thanks so much!

    I would question the information on that page.

    It states that the first version of Komplete Kontrol that was Sonoma compliant is 3.2.0. However, the previous version 2.9.6 functions perfectly on Sonoma and has the benefit of still working with NI's S1 keyboard range.

    For me the issue isn't the various bits of software. It's that the new NI elements actively don't work with their older hardware. This basically then turns any older hardware into bricks, which isn't very helpful. It's a major reason why I won't be updating to Komplete 15 or Kontakt 8 unless NI offers some kind of replacement programme for hardware they've built that they don't support any more.

    @Lionzinio yeah similar issues on my end too. Hopefully someone from the NI team can shed some light on the progress.
