NAMM 2021 Booth Report: Native Instruments

Native Instruments made the decision to take the bench at this year’s NAMM show making no new products announcements or demonstrations and although they normally make a physical appearance every year, this isn’t unusual for the German company who usually make product announcements around the last quarter of the year. Now this doesn’t mean NI are asleep at the wheel by any stretch with having only just made 2 major product announcements of Maschine+ and Komplete 13.

Maschine+ was a highly anticipated release for Native Instruments which is a fully standalone Maschine with powerful beat making workflow and the ability to run popular plugin like massive and Kontakt. By the same token, their comprehensive sound and production library Komplete 13 add’s new sounds samples and effects to the catalogue and includes some incredible new Kontakt libraries. Check out all our coverage of these products below.
