    Native Access updated to 3.3.0!

    3.3.0 - 2023-04-11

    It’s been a busy Q1. The team has been changing the way they work which caused some delays as we adjusted to the new setup. But since then, we’ve kickstarted a ton of investigative work and are working on four different releases simultaneously. This is our first phase, where we addressed a few bugs, made major improvements to the Add Serial registration flow, and made some major quality of life improvements to the product. Kontakt content products should be less frustrating to install, and first time installations should be clearer to newer users. We’ve added a quicker way to navigate to some sections of our ecosystem, and made it clearer what products are available to users.

    The most important part of this release, however, is that we’re deprecating support for Mac OS X 10.14 and Rosetta 2. The two prior hotfix releases we did was in an effort to make sure 10.14 users are not completely blocked from using Native Access, but they will no longer be able to update. To update, please update your operating system to 10.15 or newer. Your Native Access experience will likely degrade over time, but we will not support NA2 versions 3.2.2 and below.

    Tune into our DevTalks coming on Thursday for more information on what’s coming in the next quarter.

    REMOVED

    NA2 no longer prompts you to install Rosetta 2

    NA2 no longer supports 10.14. Users should remain stuck on 3.2.2 if you’re on 10.14. If not, contact support.

    Removed emoji & symbols keyboard from MacOS menu bar

    Removed products from the Available tab when they’re part of a canceled/expired subscription

    ADDED/IMPROVED

    Added keyboard shortcut to wipeout full serial input (CMD/Ctrl+Backspace)

    Updated infrastructure

    Added dedicated product detail pages. Click on a product image to open

    Added Go to Shop link (subject to change) to get direct access to the NI store

    Updated our diagnostic systems

    Broke up the generic Add Serial error message to more specific error messages for better diagnosing

    Users should no longer be prompted to download the latest version of Kontakt if they’re installing a content product that’s compatible with their installed version of Kontakt.

    Adjusted the content of the initial install success modal to better reflect next steps for newer users

    Added link to release notes in the Help section

    FIXED

    Fixed an issue where Kontakt 7 was falsely marked as needing Kontakt to run

    Addressed an issue where Windows users were prompted to give full disk access, a common bug in Mac OS X 13 (Ventura). Reverted the error message back to generic Installation Failed.

    Addressed an issue where our diagnostic systems were consuming too much CPU usage on startup

    Fixed a bug where when delaying updating Native Access on Windows caused the app to become unclosable through regular means

    Native Acces updated to 3.2.1

    Posted · Edited by asprog

    Hotfix that contains a blocker for 3.3.0. This hotfix marks the last stable compatible version for users on Mac OS 10.14. This release will block users from auto-updating NA2 when on an incompatible OS, and allowing users who cannot run later versions of Reaktor or Kontakt to install their content products without being required to install Kontakt or Reaktor.

    ADDED / IMPROVED

    Disable auto update for users on incompatible OSes

    Allow users to install content products without also downloading Kontakt/Reaktor if the latest version of either is not installed

    3.0.0 - 2022-10-27

    We’ve finally completed work on a large tech overhaul! The goal was to improve the overall performance of our searching, filtering, browsing, startup, and management mechanics, alongside how we handle and access data. We’re excited to see all of this out in the wild, and see how much of an effect this will have on our app’s overall performance.

    But of course, alongside this we’re releasing some goodies, such as Install All for the subscription page, browsing Effects by subcategories, and browsing products by their vendor. Additionally we cleaned up whatever mess we found in the process, such as sluggish modal and search behavior, some content, and tons of minor UI updates, to name a few. 

    We’re also excited to share a few next steps. Following the release of Komplete 14 many users experienced incredibly sluggish startup performance, caused by high traffic to some of our services. To mitigate a few issues we were able to identify, we’ll be committing to one more small but impactful startup adjustment before committing to a feature you’ve all been waiting for (and is long overdue): automatic uninstall. We’ll begin by releasing this for Native Instruments content products only, so we can establish a foundation, and iteratively release uninstall for the remaining products. We hope to get the first iteration out by the end of the year, but otherwise we’ll release it early next year.
