Massive X v1.4.1 Standalone?
I just updated to Massive X V1.4.0, installed to my standard locations:
...and when I go into that installation location to shortcut the MassiveX.exe to my desktop as SAL, there is nothing there:
I can launch it in the KK wrapper SAL, from inside my DAW as a VSTi, and from inside my DAW in the KK wrapper. [Win10 Pro, 21H2, build 19044.1706]
Did I miss something in the new release notes or is it no longer SAL?

Massive X never had standalone.

While the original Massive was available as SAL, Massive X is only available as a VST plugin, or you can wrap it in Komplete Kontrol.
This is as designed.

This was my complete idiocy. After the update just now, I was missing a big yellow desktop icon in my grouping for all NI SAL apps so I thought it was Massive X that had disappeared. Controller Editor got deleted from the desktop, and move everything else up, leaving a space right below Massive and Native Access.
Maybe I need to clean my glasses.
[Edit] I figured out that it was the custom Icon I built for the Controller Editor that was missing. (thankfully I take screenshots of my desktop occasionally!).
Thanks @EvilDragon !

Sorry for hijacking the thread, but I noticed that my desktop icon for Controller Editor went MIA as well when I updated (I think) Komplete Kontrol or Maschine 2.
Curious, why did that happened? Was it an intentional change?

I only had Massive X, Massive library, and Komplete Kontrol updates at the time that mine disappeared, but Windows Explorer also date-stamped my CE directory at the same time, so... it may be that they snuck in a minor update to CE without mentioning it. And deleted the desktop icon in the process.

I'm a little confused about why I can't find Massive X. Inside Native Access, it shows it as a standalone application. Has this issue ever been resolved?

Hey everyone! I bought massive x yesterday and can’t find an icon next to the other ni apps to start the synth. I’m suspecting I need to use it through Komplete control or kontakt?

Yes you need to use it as a plugin in a host, it does not have an app version (but not through Kontakt as that is not a plugin host)

Yeah, you can either use Komplete Kontrol, or something like Savihost: https://www.hermannseib.com/savihost.htm

Thank you all. What a shame it’s not a standalone app. Anyway, sounds enormous, lots of stuff to virtually twist on! FUN!

Don't overestimate standalone versions. 😉 They're basically the same as if you load Massive X in something like Savihost.

I think it is interesting subject, why NI have it in this category. And i think it is better to have standalone version. At least KK is also NI.
