One of these gave me a great idea for a track.
Btw, for being digital, Massive does truly honour its name. |

That's really all down to my immense towering skill. |

Never tried to diminish your merit in all this.  |

Hehe
Massive is nice, it's good at getting large sounds out of.
I'm not too keen on it for the standard supersaw/unison thang though, it's a bit metallic and grainy sounding there.
Great for leads though, especially with all the modulation possibilities and wavetables to LFO up. |

I've always been intrigued by its sound. Once I toyed with some presets but never went deeper into it. At the time I was giving priority to other synths, so I abandoned.
I also noticed the metallic character of it, but for the low-end this wasn't a disadvantage. In general I was impressed by its deep and imperfect low end + the amount of timbres it could produce.
Btw, I'd like to get my hands on FM synthesis. Do you think Massive could be a good start? I'm pretty ignorant on the subject. |

To be honest my grasp of FM is rudimentary at best. I get the theory, I've just never delved enough to truly feel the sound sculpting potential of it.
I'm not convinced that Massive is really indicative of a traditional FM synth either as the FM section effects the filters, and isn't strictly the usual carrier/modulator layout of something like FM8. |

You're quite right there imo too. Massive is a bit limited with its FM capabilities. FM8 is a much better choice if you're wanting to dive right into FM sounds, though Reaktor is more flexible particularly when it comes to filter FM and feedback. I also love the sound of Bazille for FM.
Massive is a great synth, but for me it gets the least use of all NI's synths.
Nice demos tehlord. |
