Native

Native Instruments is a German music technology company best known for software instruments, effects, and integrated hardware designed for modern music production and performance. Founded in the 1990s and based in Berlin, the brand has played a major role in shaping computer-based music making over the last two decades.

They’re widely recognised for platforms such as Kontakt, Reaktor, Massive, and the Komplete ecosystem, alongside hardware like Maschine and Komplete Kontrol keyboards. Native Instruments gear is built around tight integration between software and hardware, making it popular with producers, composers, and live performers working across electronic music, film scoring, and hybrid studio setups.

For SynthForSale, Native Instruments sits in the software-led synthesis and production category — tools focused on sound design, sampling, and workflow rather than standalone analogue hardware. The brand appeals to musicians who build their sound inside a computer or hybrid setup and want depth, flexibility, and professional-grade instruments in one ecosystem.
