Massive X VST3 unloading crashes Maschine when switching projects (VST2 stable)
Hey all- I’ve identified a reproducible crash (for me) in Maschine 3 that occurs when switching projects but ONLY if the project contains an instance of Massive X VST3. If I start from an empty project or disable each instance of Massive X on the Sound level, the crash doesn't happen either. The issue doesn't occur with…

Is the Komplete 15 Select Holiday Sale For Real?
Ok, it’s the midst of the holiday sale and I just bought the Absynth 6 update and it came with a coupon for two Massive X expansions. So I went to look at the expansions to see if there was anything worth using with Massive X Player (since I don't own Massive X). My only NI instruments right now are Absynth and FM8. As I’m…

Why design UIs that don’t work with your hardware?
Why does NI persist in designing its software so that it can’t be used on their own hardware? The Massive X player relies on an XY pad to really have any effect beyond being a presets browser. And now the neat looking Absynth presets mapper is unusable via NI hardware. As are all of the controls for the Synth. What is the…

Why are Battery 4, Massive & Massive X still showing as VST 2 in Cubase?
I'm using Cubase 14 and have realised that some of my NI instruments won't show as VST 3 even though I'm using the latest versions.

There used to be to Init presets - Init, and Init Blank. Now the Blank is gone?
I always use the Init Blank - Massive X preset to begin patching stuff. Now it seems to be gone and I only have the Init with the routing pre-initialized and macros all set up which is incredibly frustrating to have to undo. In the Quickstart tag I only have the four presets shown below. Why is this functionality removed?…

Massive X looks in wrong folder for user presets
I used to have my user presets in folder A. Now I have them in folder B. When I click "Show user content folder" in the Massive X menu, it opens folder B.

[TIP] Turn Off the Filter to Hear the Oscillator's TRUE Sound!
Hey guys, this may seem really insignificant or maybe a lot of you are already aware of it, but I had to mention it here anyway; By default, Massive X loads the Init preset with the Asimov Filter on and this adds color and distortion to your signal even when the Filter Frequency is turned all the way to the right and no…

the attack on Init preset is locked on 232ms
Hi, on Massive X the Init-Massive X preset is locked on 232ms for the Attack. When I slide the mouse on the 2 Attack plot, the value change but return to 232ms when I release the mouse.

Latest 5 Massive X Expansion Packs advertised without Previews

19 Custom Darkwave/Cyberpunk Presets
I may have slightly misunderstood what was being asked of us with the little Massive X Preset challenge/competition.

I have included the presets in the zip file along…

3am Collection
A collection, rather than a single preset. 3.52am meets the 80s - turn the atack right down, and you've got a really nice pad to bring up in the mix.

Massive X: Macro knobs unresponsive
I'm having difficulty with the macro knobs. The existing macros work for presets. But I find if I make a new macro (like macro 9), it's unresponsive. I drag the little red number beneath 2 controls. Let's say wavetable1 filter and amp level as an example, although it doesn't seem to matter which one I choose. If I move the…

Jumping Spider Lead (Massive X Preset)

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.

Anyone use an X-Y surface controller with Massive X Play (or any other NI product with an X-Y pad)?
I purchased a ROLI Songmaker Kit, which comes with the ROLI Lightpad Block, Seaboard Block, and a Loop Block. I mainly purchased this to use the Lightpad as an X-Y controller. Is there a way setup Massive X so that the X-Y Play surface is controllable for a surface MIDI controller, like the ROLI Lightpad? There's also a…

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…

Sequenced Dance Pad (Massive X Preset)
About: The concept behind this preset was to make a pad synth that features layers of arpeggio synths on top. I eventually added the ability to play bass and melody sections that are mostly separate from the main pad and arps resulting in a 4-in-1 multi synthesizer. I am usually inspired by world trance and new age music,…

Lead : Zap Zap Game

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…

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…

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.

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…
