Native Instruments is a developer, manufacturer, and supplier of music software and hardware for music production, sound design, performance, and DJing. The company's corporate headquarters and main development facilities are located in Berlin, Germany, with additional offices in Los Angeles, Tokyo, London, Paris, and Shenzhen.[3]
History[edit]
Native Instruments was founded in Berlin, Germany, where its headquarters are still located.[3] Founders Stephan Schmitt and Volker Hinz began using the name Native Instruments in 1996, when they developed Generator, a modular synth software package (which would later form the foundations for their ongoing product, Reaktor).[4]
Following the release of Generator, the company's employees expanded to include Bernd Roggendorf (later a founder of Ableton) and Daniel Haver, who later became Native Instruments' CEO.[4]
In 1999, Native Instruments expanded their staff count and moved to their current building in Berlin's Kreuzberg district.[4]
In 2000, the company began creating products for the DJ community, beginning with the first version of their Traktor software.[5] In 2002, they expanded further to include software samplers, in the form of ongoing products Kontakt and Battery.[4]
In September 2004, the company began a partnership with the DJ hardware manufacturing company Stanton Magnetics and with online music storeBeatport.[6] 2004 also saw the release of their guitar amplifier and effects pedal emulation software, Guitar Rig.[4][7]
Native Instruments now also has branches in Los Angeles, Tokyo, London, Paris, and Shenzhen.[3]
Products[edit]
Software[edit]
Software produced by Native Instruments includes the following:
- Reaktor: A visual programming environment based on modules and wires.[8] Several of Native Instruments products were built using Reaktor, including Monark – NI's emulation of the Moog Model D. In addition to the company's own offerings, it also hosts a large collection of community creations on the Reaktor User Library.
- Kontakt: A software sampler with support for users to program their own virtual instruments.[9]
- Guitar Rig: A modular software effect processor, focused on amplifier and effects pedal emulation for guitar.[10]
- Multiple software synthesizers, such as Massive (wavetable-based),[11] Absynth (semi-modular),[12] and FM8 (frequency-modulation-based).[13]
- Traktor: Digital DJ and vinyl emulation software.[14]
Native instruments also produce a number of other sample libraries, virtual instruments and effects processingplug-ins, many of which function through the architecture of Reaktor or Kontakt. Some of these software items are also grouped together in their Komplete software bundle.[15]
The company also develops the Native Kontrol Standard (NKS), a plug-in extension which allows integration with Kontrol and Maschine products (both hardware and software).[16]
Hardware[edit]
Native instruments also produce music hardware, such as:
- Maschine: A system with integrated software for creating drum beats.[17]
- Kontrol: A series of MIDI keyboards, XLR Audio Interfaces and DJ controllers with software instrument support.[17][18][19]

Documentation for the reverse-engineered .tsi file format used by Native Instrument's Traktor Pro 2.x for storing Controller Mappings.
This should enable the implementation of third-party controller mapping editors.
Feel free to (open an issue)[https://github.com/ivanz/TraktorMappingFileFormat/issues] with any documentation updates (here)[https://github.com/ivanz/TraktorMappingFileFormat/issues] or send a Pull Request.
[VIEW THE FULL FILE SPECIFICATION HERE](FILE FORMAT SPECIFICATION)
In order to be able to browse the Traktor .tsi file like on the screenshot below and contribute back to this project you need to follow a couple of simple steps.
Step 1: Install the 010 Editor by SweetScape
The tool used to reverse-engineer the .tsi file format is the 010 Editor which you can download from here.
It's a hex editor, but also enables defining a data structure template for the file being viewed and provides scripting capabilities
Step 2: Set up the 010 Editor
In the Tools folder you will find two files, which you need to open in 010 Editor:
- Extract TSI Mapping.1sc - script used to automatically extract the binary data from the .tsi file.
- TSI Mapping Template.bt - file structure definition
Step 3: Process a .tsi file
- Open the Script and Template from Step 2
- Open a .tsi file. (For example one of those under 'Samples' or export one from Traktor Pro)
- Run the Extract TSI Mapping.1sc script. It may take a couple of seconds to finish. Once done a new tab will automatically open Untitled1
Traktor Pro 2 Pirate Bay
- Apply the data structure template (TSI Mapping Template.bt)
- Use the newly opened Template Results panel in the bottom to explore:
What's in the TSI Mapping Template.bt file?
All of the .tsi data structures are defined in the ## file using the 010 Editor Templates functionality.
Traktor Pro 2 Windows 10
Essentially the Template file contains C-like structures, enums and scripting abilities. Here is an example of the structure that defines the mapping comment (which Traktor uses as the name of the mapping)
Simply edit the template, save and re-run it.

Using File Compare
Using File Compare within 010 Editor is a great way to find out how a change in Traktor propagates to the .tsi file. Create a before and after .tsi files and compare the outputs (after doing the described in Step 3: Process a .tsi file from the Setting up guide above) to figure out what is what:
