Native Instruments is a German technology company that develops software and hardware for music production and DJing.

Computer software, or simply software, is that part of a computer system that consists of data or computer instructions, in contrast to the physical hardware from which the system is built.

In computer science and software engineering, computer software is all information processed by computer systems, programs and data.

Computer software includes computer programs, libraries and related non-executable data, such as online documentation or digital media.

Computer hardware and software require each other and neither can be realistically used on its own.

A computer is a device that can be instructed to carry out an arbitrary set of arithmetic or logical operations automatically.

The ability of computers to follow a sequence of operations, called a program, make computers very applicable to a wide range of tasks.

Such computers are used as control systems for a very wide variety of industrial and consumer devices.

This includes simple special purpose devices like microwave ovens and remote controls, factory devices such as industrial robots and computer assisted design, but also in general purpose devices like personal computers and mobile devices such as smartphones.

The Internet is run on computers and it connects millions of other computers.

Sound recording and reproduction is an electrical, mechanical, electronic, or digital inscription and re-creation of sound waves, such as spoken voice, singing, instrumental music, or sound effects.

The two main classes of sound recording technology are analog recording and digital recording.

Prior to the development of analog recording, there were mechanical systems for recording instrumental music, such as wind-up music boxes and later, in the late 19th century, player pianos.

A disc jockey (abbreviated DJ, D.J.

or deejay) is a person who mixes different sources of pre-existing recorded music as it is playing, usually for a live audience in a nightclub or dance club or via broadcasting.

Originally, the "disc" in "disc jockey" referred to gramophone records, but now "DJ" is used as an all-encompassing term to describe someone who mixes recorded music from any sources, including cassettes, CDs, or digital audio files on a CDJ or laptop.

DJs typically perform for a live audience in a nightclub or dance club or a TV, radio broadcast audience, or in the 2010s, an online radio audience.

DJs also create mixes, remixes and tracks that are recorded for later sale and distribution.

In hip hop music, DJs may create beats, using percussion breaks, basslines and other musical content sampled from pre-existing records.

In hip hop, rappers and MCs use these beats to rap over.
