Native Instruments

Native Instruments is a German music-technology brand founded in Berlin in 1996. It develops software instruments, audio effects, sound libraries and hardware for music production and DJ performance. Its established product families include Kontakt, Komplete, Maschine, Traktor and Guitar Rig.

The brand is known for combining software with dedicated hardware controls. Kontakt is a sampling platform used for Native Instruments and third-party instrument libraries, while Komplete brings instruments and effects together in software bundles. Maschine combines beat-production software with hardware controllers, Traktor covers DJ software and controllers, and Guitar Rig provides amp modelling and effects processing.

On MyGear, Native Instruments has 66 products currently in stock at partner retailers, priced from £16 to £1,754. The selection spans sound expansions, software upgrades, comprehensive production bundles and DJ hardware such as the Traktor X1 MK3. This places its listed range across lower-cost additions to existing setups and more substantial purchases for production, composition and performance.
