Native Instruments is a privately owned company headquartered in Germany. Founded in 1996, the company employs approximately 510 individuals and reported $141.0M in revenue as of 2024. The company specializes in the design of music software and hardware production tools.
On July 27, 2026, a community post from a Native Instruments employee suggested the company is preparing a major Reaktor update, possibly Reaktor 7, which would allow users to export ensembles as standalone VST plugins. This potential development follows reports from July 24 that music technology conglomerate inMusic allegedly laid off approximately 100 Native Instruments employees after its acquisition of the company in May. Previously, on July 17, reports clarified the shifting ownership of brands under the former Native Instruments umbrella, stating that only Native Instruments remains part of inMusic, while iZotope, Plugin Alliance, and Brainworx have moved to new owners following a period of rapid mergers and acquisitions in 2026. Earlier in July, on July 16, Native Instruments collaborated with A. G. Cook to develop "Super*Saw," a playable instrument based on the widely recognized stacked sawtooth wave sound, known for its presence in electronic music.
