Yes it is a comparatively long beta, but through centercode feedback we found some hard to fix issues. Some issues were actually even problems in Komplete Kontrol and Maschine related to VST2 - VST3 migration, that was the reason why we released our Beta 3 on Centercode together with beta versions of Maschine/Komplete Kontrol for combined testing.

Other bugs recently uncovered were related to, for example, missing examples when loading host projects, or cross-platform compatibility bugs.

Anyway, as far as we know at the moment, the last show-stopper bug has been fixed since the end of last week and we plan to do a final round of testing and then release it in the next days.

Good news.

But I hope NI direction will consider some little features/GUI updates after the biggest work is done...

Any news on ETA for Reaktor 6.5 with M1/M2 support it should arrive this week, right? April cannot count as "Early 2023".

It sounds like you have experienced some disappointing visual issues with Kontakt and Reaktor after upgrading your computer. While it's understandable that you would expect a high-quality display on a new device, it's also important to consider the other priorities that Native Instruments may have in terms of updates and optimizations.

It's possible that a native Apple Silicon update and code optimization could be more important for improving the stability and performance of Reaktor, rather than a UI resolution update. Additionally, an ergonomic reface could address some of the more pressing usability issues that you have encountered.

Ultimately, it's up to Native Instruments to decide what updates and optimizations to prioritize, and they may have different considerations and constraints than individual users. However, it's always valuable for users to provide feedback and suggestions, as it can inform the development process and help to prioritize updates that will have the most impact.

I am excited for this update. Can t wait :)

I was wondering as well? Getting impatient here. However, take your time, it's better to release a stable version that took a little longer to build than a quick release rattled with bugs.

Another update on the release schedule: as announced, we have opened another round of beta testing, which will be short this time, and the release is targeted for early/mid April.

Please be patient with us, but we want to avoid a release where we have to add a bunch of hotfixes until it is stable, or even worse, where users suffer sound or data loss due to e.g. a faulty host project callback.

Good news ! Take your time now. After more than 2 years, we can wait some days more in order to be absolutely sure the update is perfect (I hope so).

Fabulous news. I both use and create for Reaktor, so I will definitely sign up for the beta team.

How can I get on the beta for Reaktor?

Kymeia

It’s nearly done anyway

heinrichz

Cool, so it's going to be released soon?

Kymeia

So we are told

One question: will automation recorded in a host DAW be kept after moving out of beta? Crashing is not too bad, I just don't want to rewrite everything like in moving from VST or AU to VST3...
