I just received an email from NI which reads, in part:
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.
My question is: Based on this, do you think Kontakt 5 (full version) would be affected, too? That's the only NI software I use all the time - I really depend on my Kontakt libraries, but I guess they are included in Komplete (which I don't own). Or do you think they would have mentioned Kontakt specifically if there were a potential problem?
Sorry in advance if this is a dumb question,
