The fascinating story of Native Instruments begins, as with many great software companies, with a small, passionate idea. Founded by Stephan Schmitt, a talented musician and engineer, and his friend Volker Hinz, a skilled programmer, the company started out in the creative streets of Berlin Kreuzberg. Here they developed the world's first modular synthesiser, the Generator. This innovative software-based instrument caused a sensation at the Frankfurt Music Fair and thrilled musicians and producers with the ability to compute and reproduce sounds in real time – an absolute novelty!
In the year of its founding, 1996, Native Instruments began the revolution in the field of software instruments with just four employees. One of the first and most important products was Reaktor, a versatile plugin that functions as a sequencer, sampler, synthesiser and effects unit. It has become the industry standard and inspires sound tinkerers worldwide. With Reaktor you can not only use existing sounds, but also develop and explore your own sounds – a dream for every music producer and sound designer!
The innovative solutions from Native Instruments have changed music production permanently. If you're looking for creative ways to shape sound, Native Instruments' products are exactly right for you. Discover the world of music software and let your creativity run free!
