Compatibility information for all current products is listed below. Our testing was conducted using various beta versions of macOS Big Sur, the "Golden Master" and ultimately the release version of 11.
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.

We have ceased development support for the Ultranova. The legacy of the Nova engine lives on through the MiniNova and Circuit Tracks. Fans of our digital synthesisers will also find many sound design possibilities in our Peak and Summit synthesisers, designed by Chris Hugget, that combine digital wavetable oscillators with analogue filtering and distortion to bring about the best of our heritage.
We cannot guarantee the performance of the Ultranova past Mac OS 10.15.
