CRITICAL compatibility warning with the upcoming Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan upgrade
Dear Jesse,
Before upgrading to the latest version of Mac OS X � version 10.11 El Capitan, please consider these potentially serious issues concerning your KOMPLETE, TRAKTOR, and MASCHINE products. Two major issues have been identified:
1. NI plug-ins do not pass the AUDIO UNITS validation in Mac OS X 10.11 � Logic Pro affected
In Mac OS X 10.11, Native Instruments AUDIO UNITS plug-ins will not pass the AU validation and will therefore not be available in Logic Pro. The root cause of this issue has been identified and a solution is currently being developed in close contact with Apple.
2. Incompatibility with some older NI hardware
There are compatibility issues between some older NI devices and Apple�s upcoming operating system. This issue triggers a 'kernel panic' � this serious problem will crash the connected computer immediately, resulting in loss of any unsaved work, or serious disruption of a performance.
The following hardware is affected:
TRAKTOR KONTROL S4 (MK1)
TRAKTOR KONTROL X1 (MK1)
TRAKTOR AUDIO 2 (MK1)
AUDIO 8 DJ
AUDIO 4 DJ
AUDIO 2 DJ
MASCHINE (MK1)
GUITAR RIG 3 (RIG KONTROL 3 hardware)
There are beta drivers already available that fix this issue. Updated drivers will be released as soon as they have been fully tested on OS X 10.11 � shortly after Apple releases OS X 10.11 to the public.
Download the beta drivers here
To keep your system working normally with the affected products, we strongly recommend waiting before upgrading your computer to OS X 10.11 El Capitan until these issues have been fully solved by either Native Instruments or Apple.
Stay up to date on all future developments regarding Mac OS X 10.11 compatibility here
Thank you for your attention,
The Native Instruments team |

Arturia as well.
-----------------
"Apple is about to release a new version of its operating system, Mac OS X 10.11, El Capitan.
Our testing team is still working on the qualification of the Arturia software instruments with the new Mac OS X 10.11, El Capitan . At that point, from what we see, this update may affect operations of these instruments when in Audio Unit or standalone mode.
We are working with Apple to solve some issues. Indeed some of them could need a release either from Arturia or Apple.
For this reason, if you want to make sure your Arturia software keeps working properly, we recommend that you postpone the update of Mac OS to "El Capitan" until Apple resolves these compatibility issues .
We will keep you informed about the evolution of this situation.
All our apologies for this inconvenience.
Musically yours," |

Numark joined the club... Seems like Apple dropped the ball on this one.

| I'm not sure it's actually Apple's fault; All the devs at software companies get the early releases of OSX months beforehand so unless apple decide to up the code after getting feedback, then it's really because the devs at said companies didn't get their together in time. |

I could see that being the case if it was one or two devs, but all of them? |

Propellerhead products and Windows 10
We�re happy to report that we have tested Reason 8, Reason Essentials 8, ReCycle 2.2.4 and the Balance audio interface under Windows 10 and found no problems.

Serato has jumped on board as well..
--------------
Mac OS X El Capitan
Serato DJ and Serato DJ Intro do not currently support Mac OS X El Capitan (10.11).
We do not recommend updating to El Capitan. We are currently investigating some early reports of serious compatibility issues with hardware connectivity and audio. We're working hard to ensure stability with this OS as soon as possible and there will be updates that add support in the near future.
If you have already updated and are experiencing issues, please contact the Serato Support Team so we can help.

Any more news on this guys?
I'm tempted to upgrade as yosemite really ed my mini up in a few ways. Running two monitors seems to be an issue as I get gfx glitches, flickering and all sorts of other weird happening. Oh and my FW keeps giving me the middle finger so I'm now using my virus as my external audio device. Even logic just keeps crashing and logs me out for no reason :conf:
Overall I regret upgrading and I wish I stuck with mavericks, everything worked just fine.
I only upgraded cos Rann said it was ok :whip:
Thanks a bunch :haha: |

Apparently, the update released two days ago (10.11.1) fixes the vast majority of the problems, and specifically the AU (AudioUnits) issue.
If you haven't already, you need to download this update immediately. |
