Compatibility information for all current products is listed below (If your product is not listed, it is not supported on this version of macOS). Our testing was conducted using various beta versions of macOS Catalina, the "Golden Master" and ultimately the release version of 10.15.
Please check that all other software/hardware you use to make music is also compatible before updating and never update your operating system during the middle of a time-critical project.
Based on past experience we would generally advise waiting for a few months after the release of any new operating system before updating in case there are any initial issues that need to be patched.
If you receive an error message stating 'System Extension Blocked' after installing Novation software/drivers then please see this article.
Crucially, this operating system is the first that does not support Automap, please see more information later in the article.
