I think NI view it as a long term project with updates to come, judging by the marketing prose.To me, the AVX exclusivity, lack of MIDI learn, and lack of preset browser quality-of-life features suggest that they rushed the release, probably because they promised it as part of Komplete 12. Hopefully they'll refine things in future updates.
Its not a deal breaker or anything. It just means that I need to map it in ableton and then save it as an instrument. I have already done that. I would have preferred to do it directly in the synth as it is more immediate.In Ableton you can map the macro controls. So I don't understand the complaint?
I also think Ableton limits me to 8 macros (I could be wrong). Also I believe my Touche needs midi mapping in the synth to work, will check tonight. As I say, not the end of the world but also not how I prefer to work.Its not a deal breaker or anything. It just means that I need to map it in ableton and then save it as an instrument.

Anyone have issues with their Mouse not working in Massive X? I'm having this problem on both of my computers. I can move the Massive display around, play notes, etc. I cant control any of the knobs or sliders. The problem seems to come and go.
I like it a lot too, more than I would have thought simply because the last thing I was looking for was another synth. Please NI.....midi mapping.....I was puzzled a bit until I realised some knobs and sliders move counter intuitively - for example the master output volume - displayed horizontally - moves when you click it and move the mouse up and down.... took me a few moments to figure!
Absolutely loving the synth though!!

Have no clue how the version of OS X relates to AVX, if at all?
we want no AVX option!
Thanks for the info. I did run that in the terminal and it seems it is AVX version 1.0. I will check now for a possible software update, or, make "kontakt" with NI to ask about this.Interesting... I checked on my mid 2011 iMac with 16 GB (High Sierra), and it reported support for AVX. After purchasing Massive X, it downloaded and ran fine. I would have thought a later-model iMac would support AVX. If you run the following command in the OS X Terminal app, it will tell you if you have AVX support: "sysctl -a | grep machdep.cpu.features" (no quotes). If AVX is supported, it will be returned in the subsequent list (and the version of AVX supported). That will tell you if your CPU can handle it. Have no clue how the version of OS X relates to AVX, if at all? Perhaps the version of OS X relates to Native Access support?
