InMusic, a major music gear company, is acquiring Native Instruments, a move that consolidates several prominent brands under one entity. This acquisition resolves Native Instruments' previous bankruptcy concerns and integrates its popular software like Reaktor and Massive with inMusic's existing portfolio, which includes Akai, Moog, and M-Audio. The deal is expected to lead to greater integration of Native Instruments' software into Akai devices, though potential product overlap in areas like MIDI controllers and standalone grooveboxes is yet to be fully addressed.
