Native Instruments is now, well, native! (Kontakt only)

Post by oldecuriosity »

I saw a reference in another post but for those that weren’t aware, the newest Kontakt player now runs natively on ARM Macs. If you’re like me with a new M1 machine and don’t want to use Rosetta, this is great news. Once (if?) BFD gets their new version, I’ll be Intel free . . .

Oh man you need to change the title. I was in the beta, yeah it's great Kontakt is ported, it's the only thing out of more than a dozen instruments and FX they've ported yet though.

Yes it's great, and that they're beating some other companies is great.
M2 Studio Ultra, RME Babyface FS, Slate Raven Mti2, NI SL88 MKII, Linnstrument, MPC Live II, Launchpad MK3. Hundreds of plug ins.

Good call . . . and edited for clarity. Still, happy it happened and impressive they beat quite a few other companies.

I think it's only "impressive" relative to their record in such matters. :lol:
