I'd like to learn Reaktor, but want to be sure that it works with the latest Mac OS and Logic Pro

There was an error rendering this rich post.

In the past I've experienced problems with many products that are not yet up to date and working on the latest hardware and software versions. Is there anyone out there that can verify Reaktor's working on the latest M1 hardware, Mac OS and Logic? Also even if Reaktor works, how about all the modules. If I use modules that are not NI ones, are there some that do and don't work on M1 Macs, or is it the case that if Reaktor works, then all the plugins will work?

Not come across anything that doesn’t work yet

Not a Mac guy so I cannot comment on whether or not your combo will work - but Reaktor is not certified for Sonoma (yet) if that's your flavour of MacOS:

macOS 14 Sonoma Compatibility Statement – Native Instruments (native-instruments.com)

That said - there are many on here that have installed Somoma and not had any issues...YMMV

Reaktor works fine for me, M2 Studio running Sonoma 14.3.1.

However like most of NI's older software the UI hasn't been updated, so you pretty much need to be an ant or sit 3" from your monitor to read a lot of the instruments. Here's an example of a Reaktor instrument with your message (normal font size) in the background.

Don't know about Sonoma (I'm on Ventura, I always stay one behind) but on my M2 MBP all my Reaktor stuff works and sounds fantastic, both standalone and under Logic 10.8.1. Hope this helps!

Oh, and: for smaller UI, I turn on the Zoom feature in System Settings. Works like a charm.
