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…

Does the Komplete Kontrol A25 integrate with Massive X?
I am evaluating whether to purchase the Komplete Kontrol A25 along with the Massive X aax plugin for Pro Tools. I'm running on Mac OS Ventura 13.4 with an M1 MAX Chip. Will the A25 be able to integrate as a midi controller and I can use the metronome, play, and record buttons on the A25 to control Pro Tools click tracks…

Time to tell the truth about NI after 20 years in the business
I loved NI Maschine. It was a must-have, but... Today, I strongly advise staying away from NI. There is no support and no care at all. They focus solely on selling music banks, as if we actually cared about that! Their products are expensive and have very little use. Sometimes they even sell VSTs you already owned from 10…

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…
