you had me worried...i have battery 3 and am ready to pull the trigger on SL...

 

i did a little digging

 

if you look at the 3rd post down on this thread

 

http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2131190&start=30&tstart=0

 

you will notice someone using the combo well

 

so it might be worth looking into it from another angle other than jjust non-compatibility

 

i wonder if it has any bearing on things that he is using logic 9 with his SL

 

sorry to not be of more help

This sucks for me. I was going to do a fresh install of K5, rather than upgrading my Tiger system......I've keeping my Tiger boot and having a SL boot......and here it says that a new install can cause issues :(

 

 

 

MAC OS X 10.6 SNOW LEOPARD

 

 

Native Instruments has conducted initial compatibility tests with Mac OS X 10.6, which have shown current NI products to work without any specific issues under this operating system.

 

However, compatibility issues have recently been observed when creating new installations of NI products under Mac OS X 10.6. This can result in a non-functional installation or in the product not appearing in Service Center for activation.

 

These issues do not affect NI products already installed under a previous Mac OS X version that is later updated to Mac OS X 10.6.

 

Native Instruments is currently investigating these issues further, and will provide new information once it becomes available. In the meantime, the installation of NI products on a computer running Mac OS X 10.6 is not recommended.

 

In general, users involved in professional audio production or live performance should be cautious about upgrading to Mac OS X 10.6 until compatibility with third-party audio software and hardware has been widely confirmed by the relevant manufacturers.

 

 

32bit kernel mode vs. 64bit kernel mode

All installations of Mac OS X 10.6 on Apple consumer models start in 32bit kernel mode by default. This kernel mode allows the operation of both 32bit and 64bit Mac OS X applications.

 

Users can activate an optional 64bit kernel mode through a special key combination during the boot process. However, drivers for NI audio interfaces and controllers are currently not compatible with 64bit kernel mode.

 

For the time being, Native Instruments does not recommend using 64bit kernel mode with music production software. The development efforts necessary to establish 64bit kernel mode compatibility for NI products are currently being evaluated.

 

64bit plugin hosts

At this point, there are no 64bit Mac versions of relevant sequencer/DAW applications available on the market. Due to the lack of suitable testing platforms, it is currently unclear whether the 32bit plugin versions of Native Instruments products would exhibit any issues in 64bit host environments.

 

Native Instruments is in contact with other software manufacturers about 64bit compatibility aspects. Once 64bit versions of relevant plugin hosts become available, Native Instruments will conduct the related compatibility testing and provide further information.

Capt7, not sure if your still having your problem, but I'm running LP8 with Battery on OS X 10.6, and not a problem all. However, the only glitch I'm getting is shutting down after after running a session that used Kore 2. Logic hangs and gives an error message about not being able to end my Absynth plug-in.

I'm using the beta version of Battery 3 (look in the Battery forums under beta version) and it seems to be working well enough with Snow Leopard and Logic 8. But I had it properly installed and working on Leopard before and did an update install of the system, not a clean install.

 

I also had problems getting Battery to pass the au validation in Logic. It would just crash, over and over. I aborted and then tried again from within the au validation program and something I did must have got it working. I can't remember what, other than persistence.
