Native Instruments today kicked off the NI-VERSARY celebrations, honoring the 10th anniversary of the company and the exciting decade of music software evolution that lead up to it. In the summer of 1996, Native Instruments released the groundbreaking modular software synthesizer GENERATOR that was later to become the REAKTOR platform. This laid the basis for a wealth of innovative instruments and tools such as KONTAKT, TRAKTOR DJ Studio and GUITAR RIG, which changed the way that music is produced and performed today.
