A Massive new Synthesizer from Native Instruments
IF Native Instruments calls a synthesizer MASSIVE - you KNOW it has be! With the capability to produce an exceptionally wide variety of sounds, this easy-to-use synthesizer oozes sonic style and character. Its innovative and intuitive controls guarantee breath-taking sounds from the start. MASSIVE's exceptional sound is the result of a newly developed and highly advanced audio engine. The MASSIVE sound is just that - massive!


Native Instruments MASSIVE at a Glance:
  • Newly developed and highly advanced audio engine.
  • Flexible signal routing for a far wider sonic range
  • Eight freely assignable macro controls for powerful sound manipulation
  • Easy drag and drop assignment of controls
  • A new type of envelope step sequencer lets you create modulation sequences
  • Integrated KoreSound Browser for managing presets and fast sample find.


High-End Audio Engine
Three "Wave Scanning" oscillators lie at the heart of MASSIVE, generating a total of 82 individual waveforms and a sonic spectrum ranging from an analog to a digital character. A special "noise oscillator" is also available and the filter design is of an equally high standard: Two excellent multi-mode filters with a total of eleven different filter types lend MASSIVE both that typical analog charm and the unmistakeable digital sound. You can crossfade between a parallel filter routing and a serial filter routing. The two filter types "Daft" and "Scream" need to be mentioned: Daft is based on a special FM routing that, when necessary, can even "talk." Scream, in essence, is a 2 pole low-pass filter that has an integrated distortion unit that interacts particularly smoothly with the input level and resonance setting.

Flexible Signal routing
The fact that MASSIVE is based on a flexible signal flow concept results in a far wider sonic range. Route the signal along a different path and the character of the sound changes instantly. The effects in MASSIVE can be inserted at various points in the signal chain. Patch various distortion, reverb, LoFi, delay, tube and other effects into the 2 insert and 2 master slots - and modulate them all at the same time.

Eight Macro Control Knobs
MASSIVE offers 8 particularly convenient macro controls that are freely assignable and allow for quick and easy manipulation of the sound. The most important parameters for all 420 presets can be controlled directly in this manner - just load the preset and start twisting the sound immediately. The macro controls can also be used via MIDI, sequencer automation or, for example, the KORE hardware controller if used within KORE. The drag'n'drop assignable controls can also manipulate multiple parameters simultaneously, allowing you to create intricate, evolving sounds with a single control element.

Drag and Drop Assignment
The revolutionary drag'n'drop modulation concept is simple and easy-to-use. Just drag the modulator onto the target parameter and the assignment is complete. Color-coding gives you an instant overview of all current assignments and dynamic value indicators graphically display the modulation as it occurs. Modulation has never been more intuitive.

Performer envelope sequencer       
The Performer, a new type of envelope step sequencer, lets you create modulation sequences in seconds - from fluctuating pads to pumping basslines and kicking drum grooves. Crossfade-able LFOs, morph-capable envelopes and a further, conventional step sequencer called "stepper" with glide function all add even more depth and variety. The mix and blend of these features allows for the quick and intuitive creation of utterly captivating sounds.

KoreSounds in an instant
The integrated KoreSound Browser brings a high degree of simplicity and speed to the task of finding and managing presets. Browse and filter according to a number of different sonic criteria and attributes or just enter a keyword or phrase in the free search mode - the results are displayed instantly. All 400 presets have been pre-configured for use with KORE and categorised as KoreSounds.


Native Instruments MASSIVE Features:
  • High-end audio engine sets a new standard both in sound quality and sonic character
  • Flexible signal flow delivers huge range of sounds: from deep, brutal basses to delicate, crystalline leads
  • Wave Scanning oscillators generate sounds of both a digital and an analog nature
  • Innovative and intuitive features allow fast and easy creation of fresh new sounds
  • Combination of simplicity with revolutionary, advanced features make MASSIVE ideal for both beginners and experts
  • Easy-to-use 'Saturn-style' knobs, drag and drop modulation assignment
  • Integrated step sequencers and an effects section with 17 master and insert effects
  • MASSIVE uses the KoreSound format, ensuring perfect integration with KORE
  • KoreSound Browser for easy searching of 420 KORE-configured sounds
  • Advanced sequencing and remote features make MASSIVE perfect for live performance

IF Native Instruments calls a synthesizer MASSIVE, you KNOW it has be massive - and then some!

Sweetwater Expert Advice
 
  "It is too easy to make big sounds from scratch with this thing. Huge sounds. There is no excuse for how fun it is to use. And besides, it sounds really, really good. The filters and oscillators have the capacity to sound remarkably analog (or glaringly digital), and it almost literally oozes with character. Another good call from Native Instruments. "
