How to assign a knob: Cubase, Midi Keyboard and Massive X
Hello everyone, Can someone help a Newbee: how to set up my Yamaha Reface Midi Keyboard in Cubase (12) with Massive X. I can drag things to the Macro knobs in Massive X but after that I don't know how to assign that knob to a physical knob on my Keyboard. In Cubase I see the knob moving in the Midi Remote Tab. Thank you!!

What is the point of Voice Randomization (VR) in Massive X?
Hi all, One of the modulation sources in Massive X is called VR (shorthand for Voice Randomization, nothing to do with Virtual Reality). The manual states that it "add[s] pseudo-random variation to your sound". You'd think this would act somewhat like the Trigger Random modulator in Massive, especially since they say that…

Massive X prevents Logic Pro X from starting
Since the last update to Massive X (1.4.3), I can't start Logic Pro X anymore. Logic gets stuck collecting information on AU plug-ins (MacBook Pro M1). Once I remove the "Massive X.component" from the Components folder, Logic starts up fine - without Massive X, that is, of course. Plus, I've only noticed just recently that…

How do I import ".mid" MIDI preset files into Massive?
I recently purchased a preset package for Massive, and I'm running on Windows 11 Pro, using Ableton Suite 11. One directory in the package contained many sound presets with the .nmsv file ID's, and clear instructions on what to do with them (place them in the Documents\Native Instruments\Massive\Sounds\ folder). However,…

Battery 4 M1 + Cubase 12 = Growing DAW file sizes
I've experienced a bug with Battery 4 and Cubase 12 on my Mac Studio M1 Ultra: The Cubase .cpr file size doubles every time I save the project (I'm at several GBs right now, on projects that are usually around 20-30Mbs!), and I've narrowed it down to a Battery 4 problem. I've also tried to run the problem in Rosetta, and…

Absynth still in demo
Hi there! Just bought second-hand Absynth 5, transfer id is okay, and installation okay as well. But! It's still in DEMO mode. Can't understand why. Even after I added serial number manually. Got the latest version of Native Access. Windows 11. Also opened the ticket in the customer support.

Massive Crashes Ableton 11 if used in different tracks of the project
If I only use Massive in one track of the project, I can later reopen the project without issues, but the problem is when I use Massive into different tracks. It doesn't matter if I use eco mode in all of these tracks. I can play the tracks but then Ableton crashes after 30sec-1 minute. One would think it is because of not…

Massive X Effects Section Product Suggestion
I have meant to suggest this for a while. I know that Serum's effects can be used as a separate plugin as an effect, and I believe it was Nick Batt from Sonicstate who I first heard say that Massive X's effects were incredible in their own right. If they were their own plugin, I'd probably use them perhaps more than the…
