Overview
- InMusic and Native Instruments signed a definitive acquisition agreement Friday that also covers iZotope, Plugin Alliance and Brainworx.
- inMusic says the purchase should close within weeks and that current tools will keep working with continued investment across product lines.
- The buyer already owns Akai, Moog, Denon, Numark, Rane and M‑Audio, and Native Instruments brings a stated base of more than 25 million registered users.
- Industry reporting highlights product fit, with Komplete, Kontakt, Traktor and Reaktor seen as candidates for deeper tie‑ins to MPC and controller platforms that could strengthen inMusic’s DJ position.
- Native Instruments pursued a sale after entering German insolvency proceedings, leading to a fast, all‑assets transfer to a single owner.
