Whit the release of phase-Plant, Serum, Vital, Pigments, we all can agree that they had success because of 3 things:
At this moment we have Massive X, the successor/ reincarnation of OG Massive, but how it stands in comparison with the previous mentioned:
- Sound? (CHECK) - from my use it sounds AMAZING, it's really massive and have a great sounding even on lower octaves (that's how I test a synth algorithm)
- Workflow (CHECK) - kind of, with he symbols embedded in the UI, it's not the most intuitive, but it does have a workflow, its much faster than Phase-Plant I would say, and even Serum and Vital, and by that I mean, you can get a FAT RICHER sound faster then the ones compared.
- GUI (CHECK - in comparison with OG Massive) - if we could do Reaktor GUI we definitely can with MASSIVE Y, but definitely need more QoL improvements and visuals, of course.
That being said, does NI are baking a new synth? cause I feel they are so close to rip everything apart, if they check al the other boxes previously mentioned.
