The company that owns Moog, Akai Pro, and Numark is buying Native Instruments. As MusicRadar reports, Nick Williams, the CEO of Native Instruments, said the acquisition will bring continued investment to its products.

In a blog post announcing the deal, Williams called it a “fresh start,” meaning that for the company’s brands, 'Native Instruments, iZotope, Plugin Alliance, Brainworx — all of it continues.'

The two companies have collaborated in the past. In 2025, inMusic and Native Instruments announced a landmark collaboration bringing NKS integration to Akai Pro’s MPK controllers, M-Audio’s Oxygen controllers, and Native Instruments’ sounds to the MPC standalone platform for the first time — a partnership that demonstrated the complementary strengths and shared values of both organisations.

This acquisition builds on a strong relationship between inMusic and Native Instruments. With this move, music tech enthusiasts can expect continued innovation and collaboration in the industry, ensuring that cutting-edge technology remains at the forefront of music production.
