Thinking about purchasing Komplete 14 Standard to use on my Mac M1 airbook with logicpro.

However, I do NOT want to use Rosetta and ONLY want to use products and plugins which are 100% Apple Silicon native.

Question for the community: does Komplete 14 Standard have any plugins or products which are not Apple Silicon native? The NI web site is ambiguous about this.

    Yes, all current plug-ins and programs are Apple SIlicon native. You can read all about it here: Apple Silicon Compatibility News

    Isn't it still the case though that Native Access requires Rosetta for the installers to run?

    The main app is definitely native silicon, don't know about the installers it triggers though:

    But I think OP is more concerned about the apps/plugins they're using and I've found them all to run great on Silicon (Since everything went VST3 anyway), if there's a few installers hidden up that are still using Rosetta to install files in the correct locations, it won't affect the final app/plugin.

    No but it would mean having to install Rosetta which I guess the OP doesn't want to do

    My understanding is NA itself is Apple Silicon compatible, as are its supporting process like NTKDaemon, but some or maybe many of the installers are still using code that needs Rosetta but NI planned to refactor all of these but I'm not certain that is complete. At least that was the case last time this came up - would be good to get an update:

    @Kymeia You are right, Native Access still does require Rosetta. I hope it's still ok for you @ssaroff.
