Request for a Traktor Version for Linux
Dear Traktor Team, I am reaching out to express a request regarding the Traktor software. While the current version of Traktor is available for both Windows and macOS, there is still no native version for Linux-based operating systems such as Zorin OS or Ubuntu.

When will the switch to Linux happen?

215th Linux discusion: Business side
Dear Native Instruments, I love your products—but I'm stuck. Supporting only Windows (and macOS) is forcing users like me into tough budget decisions. Here’s why Linux support is not just a technical request—it’s a smart business move: Windows 10 support ends in October 2025, and Windows 11 drops support for many older yet…

No linux, time to go.
Due to mounting privacy concerns, instability issues and being trapped in a system that tries to monopolize me vs, providing interchangability and “standards” to enhance my workflow and creativity, I AM DONE WITH WINDOWS! On the privacy front, every keystroke is always monitored. Once upon a time, that was a no-no. But,…

How much would you charge to make a Linux version?
Hi, Like many frustrated Linux users I realize that the new version of Kontakt (8) no longer works on Linux (using wine + yabridge). Up to Native Access 1.14 it was smooth and all working (probably because kept more simple) but since Native Access 2 it no longer works. I just bought a new Kontakt license but I was forced…

Can an NI A25/49/61 keyboard be used as a USB MIDI-class controller w/o "activation"?
Hello all. I am in the market for a new MIDI keyboard and found that Native Instruments keyboards are known for nice build quality.

I've an Ubuntu Studio rig running the vast majority of the NI stuff, and think it's a shame that komplete kontrol doesn't work under wine. Perhaps any Linux people could bump this thread if you want to lobby for it.

since I recently switched to another non-windows OS, I cant use my copy of Guitar Rig Pro 7 since I cant use Native Access 2, I wonder if there is a way to ask support to give me the installer or VST itself so I can use it on my computer and DAW without Native Access 2 with using my product key as proof of owner ship,…

Anything going on re Linux and NI?
I;ve really been wanting to use Linux to do music. For me, it's just so much better than being stuck in the Windows platform..much faster, etc on the same Workstation. I can use Ubuntu for everything else I do save for music. My question is can the NI vst's work using tools like Wine and Carla? Komplete Kontrol? Kontakt?…
