Music software maker, Native Instruments has outlined plans to make
its applications native for the recently released Intel Macs. The
developer said that its products would be updated to Universal
Binaries within the 2006 calendar year.
Native Instruments’ flagship products like Guitar Rig, Reaktor and
Traktor DJ Studio are first on the company’s list and will be Intel
native in the second quarter. The updates will come in the form of
either a dedicated Intel Mac update that will be made available for
a small fee, or as part of a major product update for all
platforms, the company said.
While Native Instruments works to make its applications native on
Intel Macs, the company was very clear on using current PowerPC
versions of its software on the new Intel hardware.
“Native Instruments does not recommend, or offer technical support
for, using its products within the ‘Rosetta’ environment on Intel-
based Macintosh computers,” the company said in a statement.
“Although NI software might generally run within the emulation
layer, the reduced performance makes it unsuitable for use in a
professional audio production environment.”
Native Instruments said they would continue to support PowerPC-
based Macintosh computers with new product releases and updates for
now, but did not specify for how long.
They don't mention the Kontakt Player, but I really hope that MM has
received a commitment from Native Instruments that the Universal
Kontakt Player will be ready in time for inclusion with the Universal
Finale 2007.
