Status on m1/m2 update?

Guitar Rig 6 went AS native yesterday, fyi.

Ok. This thread is still, or at least should be, about status on M1/2 update for Reaktor, did any NI staff answer to this?

Wow, very exciting news.. happy to see Reaktor, FM8, Battery are getting updates.

Also waiting to purchase an M-powered Mac as Reaktor is important to me.

I think what people in this thread miss is that M-class processors are offering the performance levels of "H" series chips but at much lower wattages.. in some cases not even requiring a fan. Paired with significant GPU power and novel memory utilization/bandwidth.

This difference in power for given performance was only likely to become more pronounced with time. Like roadrunner and coyote running along the top of a train until the coyote is smeared along the tunnel entrance.

Throw shade on Apple all you want but they didn't want to wait while Intel was stagnant and had them over a barrel with extremely expensive and overly generalized CPU's.

If Intel does get their act together it's largely the result of pressure from Apple and AMD.

I for one will look forward to using Reaktor on a laptop powered by a battery in remote locations.

"What I said:

1) AS transition should be paid by Mac users...."

No it should not. AS was around before I bought my K13UCE. I looked at plenty of documentation on NI site and saw nothing even slightly alluding to the fact that I'd be paying extra if I was a Mac user and needed to upgrade my system.

The argument that M$ Windows users are more than Apple users doesnt fly either. The point is NI does support both platforms and since theres always going to be a majority and minority in most things in life, its rather pointless to use this argument. They have obviously chosen this path because they get income. Though its a plausible idea for obvious reasons, theres really no such thing for the most part at least, as "user pays" in this life, we all subsidize one another in some shape or form.

Im an Apple user out of necessity, but I sure as heck hold no loyalty to them or M$, in fact theyre both as bad as one another and if I was more knowledgeable I'd do NI on linux.

Soooo so pleased that Reaktor is to be supported on AS.

So tired of this. I have owned every single piece of software this company has made. Almost every piece of hardware. I was a 1st gen maschine user back when the Mpc was still 💩’n on em. You have to do more than just make good looking interfaces. The same producers that make your sample packs make the same sounds for open source platforms. This two year lag in functionality is it for me. I am currently and painstakingly converting all my maschine projects to midi projects and I’m re importing them into my daw. Once I’m done I’m getting off this train.

it’s ironic that your finally in the same position that the mpc was when you came along and changed the game. You took advantage of akai when they were not keeping up with the times. Now we have come full circle. And in a much shorter time span. You are the one that is alienating your supporters and you are the one that will lose the market share this time.

hopefully I will be around to see you come back as hard as the mpc did this last few years. I miss the competition.

but for the two to three days of time I have spent trying to get your pretty low bit software to run on my MacBook Pro. I can honestly say it’s time for us to move on. It’s not me. It’s you. Thanks for the memories.

I would suggest that if you have native gear. You sell now while there are still people producing on computers that run this stuff ✌🏻

I am happy that AS transition is close to be complete for NI. I am rather tired from neverending complaints from some Mac users....

But yearly complaints, that NI does not support newest MacOS will probably go eternally on....
