    1. Now that 10.15.1 is out, did it fix the issue with the Z2 not being supported by 10.15.0?
    2. Knowing that the details of this issue is known by NI, is there a workaround for now?
    3. Does the device work with limitations, or not at all?

    Cheers, and thanks in advance for any transparency that can be published.

    I upgraded to 10.15.1, but it doesn't seem to have fixed the problem. Works for about 5 minutes, then the mixer locks up while audio continues to play (so no change from the previous OS version, at least for me).

    This was written in another thread from the NI Staff. Not sure why they didn't post it in this category though.
    "An update from our side, Apple asked us to send them a Z2 so that they can debug the problem and fix it. So bare with us, a fix is coming"

    Well, I decided to roll back to Mojave. I have an Apple Time Capsule so it was simple and easy. Bookings are up this time of the year and I can't wait on NI and Apple. Now maybe the update will be available But really, good luck to everyone!

    Hate to say

    When you connect it, everything is working fine. After "suddenly" a few seconds the whole Z2 Freezes. However, timecode processing and audio out is still working fine after the crash. I was able to connect my old Z1 parallel (without changing the audio out) and use it to mix two timecode controlled tracks in my Z2. A little workaround, if you want to call it so.

    Still, you cannot toggle a deck between direct thru and timecode with this solution and there is no midi assignment for this feature, because its a unique feature on the Z2 - which is unfortunately crashed now o_O


    The delayed crash here is interesting, because on reconnect, all Z2 features are working with Catalina again for a few seconds. Looks like there's a signal that cannot be processed anymore or any buffer is overrunning. NI should provide a fix for this! I doubt that Apple will do anything here in near future.

    It just Shows how Out of date the Z2 Hardwear actually is! 7 years (give or take a year) is a long time for a piece of tech to stay relevant especially how fast tech evolves. the constant updates of operating systems were bound to render the z2 obsolete

    MK2 or are you going to discontinue the z2? The z2 was soo perfect! so much potential going to waste!

    This is simply wrong. How can z2 still be on sale when it doesn’t work? Very frustrating. Please hurry up and fix the problem NI.

    MacOS 10.15.3 beta has been rolled to people who is up with Apple beta testing program. Would be nice if Z2 it's fixed in this update. Also would be nice to hear from NI here if any news are due to share.

    I’m seriously thinking of putting traktor and the Z2 on retirement and trying a new dj platform. This is the worst thing to happen to Traktor users. And for NI not to update us on any news as of yet is unacceptable.
