Nostalgic (Pad)
This is a pad I made that has a bit of a string sound with maybe a hint of vocal or choral tones. I've yet to wrap my head around this synth, let alone the new animator section. Simple demo made only with this preset. :)

Phonk Cowbell (Massive X preset)
Here is a 30 sec clip of the sound first in solo and then inside a production. The file is zipped, as I was not able to post link to video. Sorry for the inconvenience. You can find 8 macros that you can use to animate the sound. The second oscillator is tuned up 7 semitones and it creates this typical phonk vibe but if…

Phat Bass Growls
Massive X has SO MANY different ways to produce growly types of basses, its difficult to produce a patch that doesn't make you get lost in the weeds of constant tweaks. I would call this a proof of concept. Still, i've set up the XY Pad, so you can get a taste for it. The real sauce is in when you take control of the…

Note On/Off Pluck | "Decorations"
I have a pluck patch here that triggers an Oscillator on Key Press and then triggers an Oscillator on Key Release. 6 macros have been set up to alter the tone in many ways, but the core sound is already good. All sorts of modulations are used, particularly to control what triggers a sound. I've put together a demo with…

Lead : Zap Zap Game
This is a lead I built for a harsh yet soft build up of a song. It has a very glitchy effect and sounds good playing Chords, Leads, Plucks. It works particularly well when you put it softly underneath a sound, but here in the demo you can hear the full patch.

Pad: Aurora Maw
This is a pad that I built from the two main oscillators using sine waveforms. You'll hear a choir like sound that morphs into saw-like sounds, overtones layer and phase modulations change the saw quality. A granular like impact when the next chord hits and a big bass at the end to bring it out. Here is a demo track where…

Non-Synched Performer
I thinkI already know the answer to this question, I'm just basically looking for confirmation… As it would seem, I can't find anyway to turn off Tempo Sync in the Performer and use it as some sort of simple, freely timed Multi-Seg Envelope. Is it actually possible?? From what I can tell, NO, and it's on probably most…

Is it Legal to Sell Custom Presets for Massive?
Hey guys! I'm currently looking into offering my custom Massive X presets for others to download in the future but not sure what NI's policy is around selling or even offering them for free.

Tracked Melodic Perc
Hey all! This sound started as a 'let's use all the key and velocity tracking on everything' exercise and then developed into this melodic percussion patch. It's very dynamic with lots of subtle and less subtle modulation and sounds pretty good throughout the whole register. It's very playable and using the animator gives…

Massive X pitch wheel bug in Reaper
There appears to be a bug when you add pitch wheel automation to Massive X in Reaper. The note will sometimes stay on if you stop playback during the note. Once the note is on, the only way to turn it off is to keep playing the same note until it stops. Even triggering another note will not stop it. It has to be the same…

Massive X Bugs
Hi,So I’m facing quite a number of bugs with this plugin—it’s honestly the only one I know of that has this many issues. What’s really annoying is that it sounds much better than all the others, so I’m basically forced to use it. I’ve already reset my Mac twice to factory settings, and every time these problems reappear…

Lo-fi Preset
A melancholic lo-fi percussive (or is it?) #massivex preset built atop P1 modulation with L1 & L2 lfos. There's a mod-wheel component that performs WT scans. Perfect to use with chords such as the one attached (called Cherish from Sanjay's sound pack). Demo link: https://on.soundcloud.com/OxKYvpcCwnt3gKOmDk

Massive 1.6.0 improvement requests
Hi, some improvement ideas for the Massive X 1.6.0: On Play page please display macros 1-16, not just 1-8. Even if 9-16 is set up, they are not played / visible / can be enabled / disabled. Restrict modulation range when a macro is applied to a function (e.g. when macro is full turned from left to right, only e.g. 40% of…

Massive X Play - still lacks parameters compared to Pigments 6 Play mode: Basic parameters per sound engine module (volume, etc) Utility Parameters Filter Parameters FX Parameters Nice to see double the amount of macros and a XY pad surface though but it would be nice for som basic synth controls in this mode at least.

Massive X Suddenly Not Working Properly?

Massive X GUI scaling feature request
hi there; Massive X has become one of my go to synthesizers, sometimes I feel like 100% scaling looks small and on the other hand 125% looks so big.
