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, MASCHINE MIKRO MK1, TRAKTOR AUDIO 2 / 4 / 8 DJ, TRAKTOR 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!
