Native Instruments GmbH is in preliminary insolvency.

Not remotely what you want to see. Will keep tabs on this one in a tough time. Details:

@FreakyFwoof @pkirn And whatever happens I hope to all hell their incredible work to keep their products accessible to everyone including their BVI (Blind and Visually Impaired) users remains. I hate insolvancies like this because there's no guarantee that the folks who get broken up will land in good hands for those of us who use products on the daily. :(

@the_spc @pkirn Did you see my accessibility video about it I did a couple weeks ago? I love this keyboard. Best thing I've ever owned honestly.

@pkirn @the_spc You may find this worth checking out. It just came out. Authored by my good friend Tim Burgess.

@FreakyFwoof @pkirn we don't know native instruments future but would it be worth doing a youtuve chat about accessible alternatives to the Native Instruments suites/ software?

@FreakyFwoof @pkirn ok so what does that mean for blind artists? do we just stop creating? I think there is a discussion to be had

@RyanF @pkirn NI isn't dying, it will probably just change. We wait and see like everyone else. I'm not worried personally.
