MASSIVE X Explained®

Description

Synth master Larry Holcombe brings you comprehensive Native Instruments MASSIVE X video tutorials! Learn this beast of a synth part by part, section by section, with Groove3's in-depth video manual, perfect for beginner or intermediate MASSIVE X users!

Larry welcomes you and then starts with an overview of the MASSIVE X user interface, followed by how routing works inside this powerful VI. Then, Larry dives deep into explaining how the Oscillators and the numerous Wavetables are used to create the foundation of your synth patch.

Next, the Modulation, Voice options, Noise, Amp and Filter sections are all explored and explained, so you know exactly how they work and are used to craft endless sounds. Larry then goes into MASSIVE X's killer Insert Effects, Envelopes, Switcher & Random LFO features, including Trackers, which allow you to design complex modulations mapped to note values or note pitches, for very creative and inspiring sound design results.

Moving on you'll learn all about the benefits of Voice Randomization and how to use Performers which allow you to create modulation values dependent on pitch and velocity, resulting in very cool, wild sonic effects. Then you'll see how to use MIDI controllers such as Pitch Bend, Mod Wheel and Aftertouch, as well as 16 Macro controls to control MASSIVE X’s parameters, including how to make 1:1 assignments which allow you to take over the control of a parameter and also have Macros affect multiple parameters simultaneously.

Using everything you've learned, Larry now shows you how to create from scratch, a huge, dark cinematic pad that utilizes 4 oscillators, delays, chorus and reverb effects! Wrapping it all up, Larry goes over some specific v1.1 update additions which includes new presets and skins.

This is a comprehensive introduction to Massive X. Given how many features the synth has, it gets a little hard-going in places - no stone's left unturned. At times, it does feel like Larry's got the manual open and is reading from it, but I'm not sure I blame him given the number of features there are and how rarefied some of the effects are in particular. You should come away from this series feeling much more confident about enjoying this beautiful-sounding synth. Be prepared to put in the work on getting through the series, though!

I now feel better equipped with handling this new synth.

This video series is not just good, it's very good. If you are going to go through it in detail, it will take you longer if you follow each step with your own keyboard and Massive X in toe. Heavy but I learnt a lot.

I have had Massive X for a couple of years. Nevertheless I have never used it. It always looked to me intimidating. Not anymore. With this course I have all the information that I need to start making amazing sounds. The instructor teaches this course in a clear and straightforward way thru all the functions needed to start using this powerful synth. I highly recommended.
