In 2003, they announced their first version of Komplete, a collection of NI’s vast music software library that you could buy in one simple package. Over the years, Native Instruments built up a massive library of powerful virtual instruments, mixing tools, and innovative compositional programmes, and it was only a matter of time before they started to create matching hardware to offer users a more natural, hands-on experience for their software. Native Instruments was founded as a music software company in 1996, and their first product “Generator” was a revolutionary modular software synthesizer that has since grown into the powerful virtual instrument now known as Reaktor. From its roots as a music software company to the development of its very successful production controllers, Native Instruments has built up a range of professional tools to suit a wide range of musicians. From game and film score composers, Hip Hop producers and DJs, the company's appeal is far-reaching. Native Instruments has in recent years become one of the top names for the shopping lists of music producers and digital DJs.
