At  Superbooth 2026, KOMA Elektronik introduced Monoplex, a performance-driven Eurorack sequencer that they say is “built for evolving melodic control”.

The Monoplex is inspired by KOMA’s larger Komplex Sequencer, but distills its hands-on philosophy into a focused, single-channel design.

Every core parameter can be voltage-controlled, opening the door to endlessly shifting yet fully deterministic sequences. At its heart is an expanded quantizer. Beyond chromatic, major, and minor modes, Monoplex allows you to upload your own scales via MIDI SysEx using a browser-based tool. You can choose from thousands of microtonal scales or create and audition your own.

A dedicated MIDI-note capture mode also lets incoming notes define the active scale on the fly.

Compact and immediate, Monoplex delivers an endless supply of melodies and modulations inside your Eurorack system. Here are the details:

Today, Native Instruments CEO Nick Williams announced that they – along with iZotope, Plugin Alliance, and Brainworx – are being acquired by inMusic:

“To our friends, artists, partners, collaborators, and community:

After three months of hard work, and three months of extraordinary loyalty from you, I am pleased to share that a definitive agreement has now been signed for Native Instruments to be acquired by inMusic.

Two iconic music technology companies, with decades of shared respect for this industry and the people who make music in it, are coming together to build something greater than either could alone. Our NKS hardware and MPC Editions collaboration last year was the beginning of this story. Today, we look ahead to a common future.

inMusic has spent three decades building and growing the brands that creators rely on every day — Akai Professional, Moog Music, Denon DJ, Numark, Rane, M-Audio and more. They understand what it means to build tools that musicians love. And they understand what Native Instruments means to our customers and community.”

This dramatically expands the inMusic family of companies, which already includes Akai, Alesis, Denon, M-Audio, Moog, Numark, Rane and others.

What does this mean for the future of Native Instruments, iZotope, Plugin Alliance, & Brainworx?

For the near term, it sounds like it will be business as usual.

“Our commitment is simple: continued investment across all brands and product lines, and a long-term focus on innovation that serves creators at every level,” notes Jack O’Donnell, CEO of inMusic. “The tools you rely on today will keep working, and the tools you will rely on tomorrow are actively being built.”

The acquisition is expected to be completed within a few weeks.
