After having conducted systematic tests, Native Instruments confirms full macOS Catalina compatibility with the latest versions of all current products*.
IMPORTANT NOTE: macOS 10.15 terminates the operability of some NI legacy hardware. This includes MASCHINE MK1, AUDIO 2 / 4 / 8 DJ, AUDIO 2 MK1 and TRAKTOR S4 / X1 MK1.
The workaround for macOS 10.12 - 10.14 (as described in this article) does not work on macOS 10.15. If you still want to use these legacy devices, do not update to macOS 10.15!
Further Notes
| Product | Compatible with macOS 10.15 |
|---|---|
| All Current Products* | YES |
| KONTAKT 5 | YES |
| REAKTOR 5 | NO |
| TRAKTOR PRO 2 | NO |
| TRAKTOR Z2* | NO |
* The Z2 is currently not compatible with macOS 10.15, but potentially compatible with future updates. We have filed a report with Apple, and got recently informed that they are actively working on the issue. Please find more information here.
