NI Updates: Massive X and Komplete Kontrol

[Magic Russ]

Mostly Apple stuff, but for Massive X allowing user preset tags to be edited has been long in coming.

1.4.3 - 2023-03-23

MASSIVE X is available as AAX, AU, VST and VST3 Plug-ins in this version.

MASSIVE X requires an Intel processor with AVX or an Apple Silicon processor.

The MASSIVE X Factory Library is a separate installation, be sure to install via NATIVE ACCESS.

ADDED AAX Apple Silicon support

IMPROVED Various browser fixes and enhancements. User preset tags can now be edited

FIXED Massive is now macOS Ventura compatible

KNOWN ISSUE VST3 crashes in Reaper on macOS during scan (but still passes validation)

KNOWN ISSUE Host automation parameter names are fixed to "Macro" in Logic and GarageBand on Apple Silicon computers

KNOWN ISSUE Intermittent crashes when used with Mainstage

KNOWN ISSUE VST3 Macro parameters are overwritten by the DAW when recalling projects with Digital Performer. Please use AU or VST2 instead

Just tried to update MASSIVE X and got a trojan alert from Windows Defender:

 

So went looking via google and got this very recent post at NI Forums:

https://community.native-instruments.com/discussion/11586/microsoft-defender-detects-trojan-script-on-update-file-of-massive-x

Seems other "legit" applications are suffering from same issue when updated etc

Guess that explains why I am not currently seeing this update in Native Access...

[Jeremy Oakes]

FYI you need to disable Windows Defender a/v to install this update (W11)

i don’t begin to understand why, maybe someone on the inside track of NI can comment……. Or not.

Maybe it ignores any threats! ?

I'm holding off until this is fixed but FWIW it's 99.9999999% that it's a false positive

It's being triggered by the  Windows Defender realtime protection, which is basically a Machine Learning model - that's what the !ml stands for on the end of the warning.  It's taking a look at the file and thinking that it reminds it of that particular virus.

Either way, unless you absolutely MUST have those fixes I'd advise anyone to wait - why risk it ?
