Nonlinear Labs

When Stephan Schmitt left Native Instruments—the company he had founded—in 2012 to pursue new challenges, he launched Nonlinear Labs with a small team of developers, thereby bringing to life his vision of uncompromising performance synthesizers featuring high-resolution dynamic controllers and a first-class keyboard. The sound engine combines FM, waveshaping, physical modeling, and subtractive synthesis to generate organic sounds with unparalleled dynamics and expressiveness, serving as the foundation for a future ecosystem of ambitious sound tools.
