Native Instruments makes music production accessible for anyone.
Native Instruments turns computers into musical instruments. As the leading provider of software, hardware and digital services for music production, Native Instruments fundamentally changes the music industry and revolutionizes the way people make music. Music production is no longer a system reserved for a privileged few, but is technically and financially accessible for everyone. EMH Partners has been supporting the democratization of the music industry since its investment in 2017. In 2021, EMH Partners sold a majority of their shares in Native Instruments Holding GmbH to Francisco Partners. The investment was fully realized in 2025.
