Kontakt emerged from a crowded playing field by taking a note from the Adobe playbook.
While many of Native Instruments’ products seem oriented to the DJ market, the sheer versatility of Kontakt made it appealing to virtually all digital music creators.
The modular synth, Reaktor, was the company’s flagship product, then called Generator and the software sampler Kontakt made its debut in the early 2000s. Dating back to 1995, Berlin-based Native Instruments has been a mainstay in the digital audio world for much of the 21st Century.
