    It's not related to Native access being installed on another computer, there were no similar reports on 12.4 or M1 Max yet. You're already in contact with a Native Access specialist, he should get to the bottom of this. As it's not sure to be 100% Silicon related, I would suggest to continue the conversation in the email until a resolution is found or create a dedicated thread, not to overload this one, if that's cool with you.

    That is fine with me Jeremy, and I appreciate your responses.

    Have a great day!

    I suspect your problem might be that Rosetta 2 is not installed in your Macbook Pro. That's why you can't get older software to install or open. Doo a Google search for how to manually install it and you will be on your way.

    Hope this helps.

    I have Rosetta running on the Macbook Pro, and everything else runs fine under it - Thank you for your response nonetheless

    Maschine is freezing every time I go to browse presets - this wasn't happening a few weeks ago. m1 pro on latest version of macOS Monterey

    Is it possible to release Reaktor for M1, with a dedicated M1 library for the modules that run on M1??

    How would it be supposed to work with non M1 modules compatibility if there is no dedicated M1 library???

    If all programming world works as you say - i kill myself immediately. They need to upgrade their soft as we do, they need to upgrade soft libraries, technologies etc… Your are wrong, but I think you are not a programmer, you don’t know anything about this.

    I've spent at least $600 on plugins in the past couple of months from Melda, Arturia, and a few smaller companies. Every single purchase was M1 native. I'm not spending another dime on legacy plugins. I am still buying Kontakt instruments, but NI's not going to see me spending any more $$$ on upgrades or new products until they start following the market.

    Same here. There are a lot of great alternatives out there that in some instances work/sound even better than what NI offers. Kontakt is the only real sticking point for me but

    Massive - Vital/Serum both native

    Guitar Rig - Amplitude 5 is native

    The hard ones are Absynth and FM8 are really in a class of their own. FM8 really is the best FM synth out there imo. However Absynth maybe possibly Zebra?

    Personally I'm not even looking for 1:1 alternatives, I'm just kind of done with the NI "sound" and enjoy using U-He and Vital for what they bring to the table. Basically Komplete doesn't feel as essential in my setup as it once used to.

    Of course there is alternatives.

    But what about recalling old sessions ?

    What about using NI stuff on stage, so you need them if you want to play the songs where you use them ?

    There's no way you can replace exactly the Reaktor synths with something else. Even Monark (a mini moog emulation) can't be replaced by MiniV from Arturia or Diva from u-he... So Form, Razor, Sparks...

    And these are plugins I bought because I like them, so I don't want to abandon them. I just want to use them on a new machine, like any other plugin I bought...

    Is there a list of M1 Beta tests I can join?

  • Tomboman

    I think there is no M1 Beta at the moment (unfortunately)

    As @Matt_NI posted on a different thread at the end of June (was about VST3 support), that Maschine and Komplete Kontrol will be Apple Silicon native in around 3-4 months. So I guess a Beta will be out in September or so?

    What would be fantastic, that a post like that is there for other products (even if it is 2023, but to plan ahead). I for myself am looking forward to Raum as a native version, whenever I use Rosetta, Logic gets unstable after some time. And Raum is my go to reverb, sounds sooo good :)

    Has anyone else had any issues with installing Spitfire libraries into Native Access? Every time I enter the serial number for each project I get a message saying the library was successfully added however it does not actually show up. Any thoughts/solutions?


    I am currently talking with Spitfire and NI but I wanted to shoot this out to you all anyway.


    Thanks!

    This has probably been discussed many times, but I have a new MBP with M1 Pro, OS Monterey, and all Native Access apps are up to date. Every time I open Komplete Kontrol with my Komplete Kontrol S61 MK2, the software crashes and I have to re-open. When I re-open, I can open some instruments, but there is constant crashing. So I really have to question Rosetta compatibility. If I open a Logic track where Komplete Kontrol at least was used on a track, it will not open, even when launched in Rosetta. So basically, my Native Instruments library is redundant with this new MBP unless I use Kontakt only (and I still have to very that fully, though it does run natively). Is this the experience of everybody else?

    Every other music production software I use is M1 native at this point. Two years since M1 release and NI have still not addressed it.

    Thanks...

    I have the same laptop as you, but everything is working under Rosetta, or while using the AudioUnit version within a DAW running native...

    I have some stability and CPU efficiency issues, but I'm using my Native Instruments almost like normally. Of course, because they are not native, I need to run everything with Rosetta (so I've got the CPU penalty for ALL my plugins only because of NI) or use only the Audio Unit plugins (this was my workflow choice) : it took me a lot of time to replace my VST instances with AU ones on the sessions I needed to run native.

    I think your bigger issue is with Komplete Kontrol : did you try to run the NI plugins without using Komplete Kontrol ?

    All this said, I'm agree with you (and almost everybody else here) : it's a shame they still didn't release any M1 native plugin outside of Kontakt 2 years after M1 release...
