Compatibility of NI Products with Apple Silicon Processors (M-Series)
All of our products can be activated, installed, and updated using Native Access, which will run on Apple Silicon computers via Apple’s automatic translation environment Rosetta 2. We are working to ensure full native support for Apple Silicon across all of our current products.
- To use the plug-in versions of the products that are compatible via Rosetta 2 only, it is necessary to start your DAW using Rosetta. Here you can learn how to do this.
- The products that are natively compatible with Apple Silicon do not require Rosetta.

The below table lists the confirmed compatibility status for current NI products.
Note: Older, discontinued product versions like KONTAKT 5, GUITAR RIG 5, etc. can only be opened using Rosetta mode and won't be updated to Apple Silicon compatibility.
