The situation is finally solved ! inMusic acquires Native Instruments

An announcement from Nick Williams, CEO of Native Instruments 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. What this means for our community The products, platforms, and brands you rely on continue. Native Instruments, iZotope, Plugin Alliance, Brainworx — all of it continues. Our teams continue to build, ship, and support every day. What happens next We are working towards the transaction completing in the coming weeks. Between now and then the business continues to operate normally, and we will share more about the integration as we have it. As Jack O’Donnell, CEO of inMusic, put it: “Our commitment is simple: continued investment across all brands and product lines, and a long-term focus on innovation that serves creators at every level. The tools you rely on today will keep working, and the tools you will rely on tomorrow are actively being built.” This is the fresh start we have been working toward. Thirty years of building tools for creators, and now a new chapter with a strong partner who has spent just as long dedicated to this industry. The loyalty you have shown us through one of the most challenging periods in Native Instruments’ history is something we will not forget. From the partners who supported us, to the artists who kept creating, to the customers who kept showing up — thank you so much. This moment belongs to all of you as much as it does to us. Thank you for standing with us. Nick

The EU sent a notification in November that Bridgepoint and Bain Capital Credit acquired Native Instruments Group from Francisco Partners. The formal insolvency proceedings may actually be a part of the same process; I can’t fully confirm that, however, which is why I omitted it from the original article. (That’s the same business structure as registered in Germany, NI GmbH.) Elsewhere: Greg Savage nicely explains this process in lay terms for those unfamiliar: Native Instruments Insolvency – Should Composers and Musicians Be Worried? And yes, that’s fair — also the fact that the red flags financially came far earlier than today, and were related to the company’s debt following acquisitions, not the health of the products or market. Tim Exile writes on Bluesky:

“The chances of the lights going out are very slim imo, knowing a bit about this process. It’ll just come down to what price will be paid for the assets / entity. Entering into this phase of insolvency actually makes a good outcome for customers way more likely.”

Native Instruments GmbH is in preliminary insolvency According to insolvency documents, Berlin-based Native Instruments GmbH (also parent to iZotope, Plugin Alliance, and Brainworx) is in preliminary insolvency proceedings. This is significant news for one of the biggest brands in music-making technology. Prof. Dr. Torsten Martini is listed as a preliminary insolvency administrator for the company (“vorläufiger Insolvenzverwalter”), which means he would be responsible for restructuring. (I can confirm his involvement, in addition to what’s on the document.) Without too much speculation, that means NI’s various assets will be sold off in some form — now a process that’s out of the hands of NI executives and owners. Since 2021, Francisco Partners had a majority stake in NI and remains the parent company. There’s probably more to say about how NI got here — both as part of industry trends and its own unique story — but that can wait for now. The significance of NI is hard to overstate. Users of Maschine, Komplete, and Traktor are invested in integrated hardware workflows. Reaktor and Kontakt are ecosystems of their own for many development houses. Partner deals are impacted. Countless users have poured time into Reaktor creation. And every single product across the stable you know means something to someone daily. So seeing how this unfolds will be important. Employees should be supported in the short term, but I know this is going to be a hard time for NI operations and people. Here’s hoping for better times for NI employees and tools past this transition. This is also not a great omen for the rest of the industry, to state the obvious. I know this will also raise concerns for NI product owners, for the time you’ve invested in tools from Kontakt to Reaktor and beyond. So I’ll do the best to relay those implications in the coming months as they become clear. We’ll have to see how the company’s current “Soundwide” state (with iZotope and the others, what is currently called Native Instruments GmbH) might be broken up and sold. For the short term: it’s important to note that basic operations in this kind of scenario will continue; this stage of the process does not mean the lights go out. There will be an outcome to all of this — there needs to be, because the purpose of the insolvency proceedings is to pay creditors while shielding the company from action. That means that whereas a small independent company without debt can decide to shutter at a moment’s notice, NI’s valuable assets (e.g., Kontakt) absolutely need to find a new home and/or continue to operate to pay off outstanding debts. But it does create some uncertainty, meanwhile, which I know is a source of anxiety. There’s also no indication of trouble with the health of NI’s core business. NI accrued debts through massive expansion and high-cost acquisitions, not as near as I can ascertain, any failure of the company’s products or the teams who develop, support, and market them. For all the ups and downs, you’ve given us some incredible tools, NI. And I have so many memories with NI staff, past and present. So I do hope that whatever happens to NI’s business structure, the instruments and talent do find a good home. I’ve reached out to NI for comment, but have not yet received a response. This article was updated with the “for the short term” clarification, as I received reader comments that suggested this was not obvious. Addendum: I had gotten reports that I couldn’t confirm that creditors had taken ownership of the company. There were at least some indications that this news, or something like it, was coming, but the publication of the insolvency proceedings in Germany makes it public.
