To our friends, artists, partners, collaborators, and community:

After three months of hard work, and three months of extraordinary loyalty from you, I am pleased to share that a definitive agreement has now been signed for Native Instruments to be acquired by inMusic.

Two iconic music technology companies, with decades of shared respect for this industry and the people who make music in it, are coming together to build something greater than either could alone. Our NKS hardware and MPC Editions collaboration last year was the beginning of this story. Today, we look ahead to a common future.

inMusic has spent three decades building and growing the brands that creators rely on every day — Akai Professional, Moog Music, Denon DJ, Numark, Rane, M-Audio and more. They understand what it means to build tools that musicians love. And they understand what Native Instruments means to our customers and community.

    Yeah, doesn’t feel like a great outcome to have this now pretty gargantuan conglomerate in music tech, but at I guess least it keeps the tools people use supported for now

      Yeah, it will definitely not turn out well. But for now I‘m pleased with their products & services, especially Denon DJ stuff is miles ahead of what Pioneer does. Can’t say much about the rest, but haven’t heard anything bad.
