So I've had the much older Native Access app for my FM8 and Massive synths for a long time. Decided yesterday that I wanted to buy the 'CYCLES' plugin from Slate and Ash. Found out it runs on top of Kontakt 7 player, and so was prompted to update my Native Access app to the newest version (3.12.0). I'm on a MBP M1 running Sonoma 14.5. Now, I cannot download anything at all. I've scoured the online forums for all the similar 'Download failed' errors, and have done the following:
- Tried changing file paths - no difference.
- Tried adding Native Access to 'Full Disc Access' - no difference
- Tried adding 'NTK DAEMON' to 'Full Disc Access' - cannot even find the daemon anywhere on my disc (but does show up in Activity Monitor
- Tried installing a older version of Native Access - still no help - stuck at 'queueing'
- rebooted, repaired permissions, deleted/reinstalled the newest Native Access - nothing.
So now I'm forced to ask Slate and Ash for my money back, and am considering deleting for good all my NI products - because this level of crappiness is something I haven't encountered with music software since the dark old days of the early 2000s….
So - should I go ahead and delete all (and get my money back), or does anyone from NI have any solid instructions that are guaranteed to work?
