Native Instruments, a privately owned company headquartered in Germany, was founded in 1996. With approximately 510 employees, the company reported $141.0M in revenue as of 2024. The company specializes in the design of music software and hardware production tools.
Native Instruments released Absynth 6.1 on April 10, bringing 32 new instrument presets, 100 new samples, and new Undo/Redo functionality to enhance workflow. On the same day, Sonuscore offered LUX Orchestral Strings Elements as a free KONTAKT library, featuring core string sections from its full offering. Earlier, on April 1, screenshots circulated from an internal Native Instruments presentation titled "The Future Beyond Kontakt," suggesting potential plans to phase out Kontakt in 2026 to focus on "Kontakt AI." This followed an update on March 20 from CEO Nick Williams, who stated via his blog that "business continues as usual" across Native Instruments and its subsidiaries—iZotope, Plugin Alliance, and Brainworx—amidst the ongoing insolvency process. Williams' statement came after the company officially entered formal insolvency earlier on March 20, transitioning from preliminary insolvency proceedings that began in January. An administrator was appointed in Germany to oversee restructuring and a possible sale for the German company, which joined the Soundwide group in 2022.
