Well well well. Major music software/hardware maker Native Instruments, that was sold to private equity a couple of years ago much to the chagrin to their users, is apparently about to go bankrupt.
Basically the biggest developer of plugins, sample packs etc with an incredible ecosystem. I can't help but feel that they really must have been criminally mismanaged to end up in such dire straits.
