Tired of waiting (Apple Silicon Compatibility)

Anyone else here who is waiting? I own a M32 Keyboard and Massive X and still neither is working with my MBP M1.
I fully understand that updates take some time to develop but the Apple M1 announcement was of June 2020 and the Apple Silicon Macs were released in November 2020 (5 months ago) and I feel that this period of time is way too long.

Furthermore the NI related compatibility news was last updated 3rd of February and it seems to me that there is no progress at all.
By the way: many or better most of NI competitors are silicon-ready, some of them from day one.

So, please NI: when can I start again making music? How long do I have to wait?

Thanks in advance!

 

Yep agreed!

It's pathetic that a company the size on NI doesn't have its products working correctly yet, 5 months after the release of M1 Macs. I'm running Komplete 13 on a new M1. Logic 10.6 is amazing! Most of the NI stuff works to some degree but it's unreliable and buggy. Some effects (Dirt, Replika, etc.) don't work at all (controls can't be moved by the mouse). Major issues with automation (including writing and recall of automation after closing/opening projects) with NI instruments (Form, Massive etc.). Overall buggy and not good enough.

I's so frustrating. Especially being on a new computer and new version of Logic. I should be cooking with gas, but thanks to NI, no. NI has always been rubbish with their customer service, they just don't get it. Sure the products are amazing, when they work, but NI is an arrogant company in my experience.

And finally, yes it's also pathetic that there hasn't been an update on M1 progress since Feb.

 

presto music There's quite a lot to unpack about your response here but I'd like to remind you that regardless of how negative your impression is, we'll appreciate it if you could keep it respectful. Using words like pathetic, rubbish, arrogant is not helping drive any meaningful conversation.

Bringing native Apple Silicon compatibility to a portfolio of 200+ products while also having to deal with the regular progress of our roadmap (planned features, releases, bug fixes...) is quite the task. We're not going to rush this and we'll release updates as they come. This is not likely to be fully accomplished before the end of the year.
