Time to set Absynth 5 free
I have just installed Absynth on an old iMac (running Mohave) I have freed up for the purpose of maintaining older software that no longer runs (or is deprecated) on my Mac Studio M1 Max. This includes Absynth 5, which is a classic, indeed seminal, synth in plugin history and one that I use a huge amount still and have…

How to use expression pedal with Massive X?
I recently got an expression pedal for my Kontrol S61, and I’m using Massive X through the Komplete Kontrol VST. Assigning the knobs is straightforward, and the expression is already set up in other synths like Pigments, but is there a way to assign my expression pedal to anything in Massive X?

Unexpected behaviour: Massive 1.7.0 vst3 drop-down menus broken in Bitwig
Observations: - When using the Massive vst3 version in Bitwig 5.3.5, some drop-down menus move erratically after they are changed in the Massive UI and land on another option: Filter 1/2, FX 1/2, Insert 1/2. - Changing these values from the DAW after mapping remotes to those parameters works as it should. - Drop down menus…

Massive X updated - but still no support for NI keyboard poly aftertouch
While it's nice to see any update for Massive X, I would have hoped the lack of support for the flagship feature of NI's own keyboards - poly aftertouch - would have been addressed by now. It's absurd to have to switch my MkIII into mono aftertouch mode just to play Massive X Why is this? (and we still don't have the…

[Massive] Did update 1.7.0 broke computer keyboard play?
According to the Manual, it is possible to play notes with your computer's keyboard: If you don’t have a MIDI controller available, you can still play MIDI notes by using the computer’s keyboard. We have assigned the four rows of alphanumeric keys in a similar pattern to that of a piano keyboard. For example, the bottom…

Hello! I'm after some presets that were on Absynth so trying to find someone who's wanted to sell their key. :) I'm in FL studio; wasn't sure if the standalone version was different than VST, etc. Thanks in advance.

Can’t use the voucher on Massive X?
I recently purchase the s49 Mk3 and I keep getting that lovely this “voucher isn’t valid” see here I’m confused, massive X is fully NI. It isn’t a bundle I’m trying to purchase, it’s under 399, and currently not on sale. Falls under terms, yet still invalid? After contacting NI about this they responded saying “the s…

[Feature request] Massive X - a couple of enhancements
A couple of usability enhancements. Easy access (via a button or the menu) to the two init patches. Option to hide the numbers that show what the macros are modulating (which appear as red in the theme I use) - just to remove 'clutter' on occasions when it's not needed. In the patch browser, being able to play a…

Trouble using the synthesizer on my computer keyboard
Hello. I just downloaded Massive. When I go to the midi options on Massive it allows me to play sound directly from my computer keyboard. However, when I leave the midi options menu and go to the main screen I can't get any sound from using my computer keyboard. I can only hear synthesizer sounds when I go to the midi…

How to rebuild Massive 1.5.12+31 database without it screwing up 3rd party and my user preset folder
So I've tried rebuilding the db several times and each time I'm getting issues with some 3rd party preset folders as well as a folder where I'm storing all my presets I've created over the years. See pic for an example of what's going on. There should be a folder for Chainmello V1, pandashake, and a couple of others there.…

Massive, why no arm in VST version?
Hi, Massive is a nice, yet quite quite old synth. Many people used it in old projects. Therefore, for backward compatibility purposes, it would be much more helpful, if the VST version had mac ARM support implemented, not only the VST3 version. Is it really that hard to add ARM to VST2.4? I already did by myself, and know…

Massive scaling problem
I am aware that the issue of scaling the Massive program has been raised, and specifically about this possibility. My question will be the opposite. The problem is that after restarting the system (win11pro), Massive has an unnaturally enlarged program window (something wrong with scaling). I don't know... maybe the reason…

Razor LFO not in sync with maschine's BPM while in beat mode
I am posting this solely if people in the future come up with this problem. When using LFOs in razor make sure maschine (can potentially bug with other hosts but i don't know) is using ASIO drivers and not WASAPI because the LFO will not synced to the host. Maybe it has to do with sampling rate ?
