Most Native Instruments software and hardware products are not yet supported under macOS 10.15. We recommend not updating to macOS 10.15 if you are using Native Instruments products other than the ones confirmed below.
We are currently conducting systematic product tests to offer full compatibility as soon as possible. Please check this page or your Native Instruments product's specifications page regularly to obtain information on the current operating system requirements.
IMPORTANT NOTE: macOS 10.15 terminates the operability of some NI legacy hardware. This includes MASCHINE MK1, AUDIO 2 / 4 / 8 DJ and TRAKTOR S4 / X1 MK1.
The workaround for macOS 10.12 - 10.14 (as described in this article) is not working on macOS 10.15 anymore. If you still want to use these legacy devices, do not update to macOS 10.15!
