Even so, I want to recognize that it’s taken longer than many of you expected. We’re working to ensure that when new operating system updates are released in the future, we’ll deliver compatibility updates faster. We’ll (finally) introduce fully Sonoma-compatible versions of Kontakt and Maschine – two of our most complex products – later this month.

I'm on an M2 Studio and I only experience issues with Kontat 7 if I put it on a second monitor it hard crashes in DP, and in standalone it makes the monitor flicker.

You know, the weird thing is that Chris says he doesn't have a problem with it in Logic. Reminds me of the issue I'm suffering through right now with Sonoma, DP and Console 1. (Sluggish GUI unless all windows except TO are closed). MOTU says it's a graphic bug in Sonoma, yet Pro Tools, Cubase, and Logic don't have any such issue. Of the three I was very interested in if Cubase had issues since Cubase uses VST3 and to get the full functionality out of Console 1 in DP you also have to use VST3.

Anyway... problem was that if this is a Sonoma bug, it seems to be only "biting" DP. That kind of concerns me. I'm not a programmer, but my mind was recklessly speculating that perhaps something about how DP does graphics is part or the problem. I know DP, via themes, is still heavily reliant on bitmapped graphics and if you did down inside the application bundle you can find the graphics and edit them (thus theme customization). I know many DAWs are moving away from using bitmapped graphics and using vector graphics instead. Maybe that's a factor? I don't know. Guessing here.

I also recall instances where Intel AUs that would work fine in Logic (running natively) would cause problems in DP (also running natively) and you need to run them in PatchWord, or as a last resort, launch DP in Rosetta mode. There's also the odd plugin here or there that will open with a blank GUI in DP but (I think) sometimes work in Logic, for example.
