MacOS 11 – Big Sur Update As some of you may know, Apple will soon be releasing a new version of OSX; Big Sur. Apple are making a series of changes to the way the OS works, which will have a knock-on effect on some audio software. Like many developers, we will need some time to update our processes to meet their new standards for 3rd Party software.

We strongly recommend that all Mac-based users of Krotos products wait to upgrade to this new OS for the time-being. On release, Krotos products will not support this version of OS X.

We recommend you turn off automatic updates on your Mac to stay in control of your software as these changes are rolled out by Apple, to avoid disruption to your workflow. We will be in touch once we have updated our software to meet the new OS X guidelines. If you have any other technical questions or enquiries, please feel free to contact us.
