Native Instruments has now publicly addressed the recent reports of the business entering into preliminary insolvency proceedings as part of an ongoing restructuring process.

Their CEO, Nick Williams, he emphasises that operations will continue, and that the day-to-day support for users and partners will remain unaffected for now.

Here’s the full statement:

I want to personally take a moment to address the recent news about Native Instruments.

Please rest assured that business continues as usual at Native Instruments, iZotope, Plugin Alliance and Brainworx. Our hardware and software products remain on sale and available for download and activation. Our passionate and dedicated teams are here and supporting customers as normal. In product and engineering, we are continuing to develop and launch new products and features. Our NKS Partnerships team continues to process Kontakt Player licences and NKS Partner submissions.

We are working diligently and responsibly to secure a healthy, financially sustainable future for Native Instruments. As you may have seen, Native Instruments GmbH has entered a restructuring process in Germany, as have 3 of our German non-operating holding companies. In legal terms, we have filed applications to open pre-insolvency proceedings for those companies.

We are focused on providing continuity for creators, customers, and partners. We’ll continue to share updates as we have them.

I’m a lifelong musician myself, and have been a passionate fan of Native Instruments for 25 years. Our mission to inspire and enable creators to express themselves through sound continues.

Key points

  • Business as usual: Products in both the hardware and software lines are to remain available for purchase, download, activation and support.
  • Customer support ongoing: Teams are still up and running, licence activations and partner integrations continue.
  • Product development continues: NI says its engineering efforts and feature releases are ongoing.
  • Future focus: Working toward a “healthy, financially sustainable future”.

Preliminary insolvency doesn’t mean the company is due to be liquidated – instead, it’s activating a restructuring process overseen by an appointed administrator.

In short: The lights are still on over at Native Instruments, and users should continue useing their tools as usual, whilst the businsess does its’s best to work through a restructuring process. This includes continued support for customers, partners, and products.
