Does anyone here still use NI Massive?

I know its a bit old, but there’s so dang much you can do with it. Anyone here still using it?

I use it! I’ve only had it a couple of years though. It seems like Serum is getting super popular now though. Maybe I’ll get around to buying it once everyone stops using it :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

HAHA! Remember when Kayne posted a picture of a screenshot of himself on Pirate Bay. Deadmou5 didn’t appreciate it. Neither do I quite honestly.

@Jonathan I’d forgotten about Massive, just had a quick re-visit of it and yep, some cool sounds but it feels very ‘clunky’ to navigate - I can’t think that it would have anything omnisphere doesn’t plus it feels sort of awkward …

Lol. Omnisphere looks pretty! We can certainly give it points in that department. Apart from the green/blue tabs in Massive, I like the way you can see everything at once. I like how quickly you can trace your routing and signal flow around the interface. But there’s an element of ready-to-go simplicity to Omnisphere that I don’t know if anyone can really compete with at the moment.

Where I’m having trouble learning Omnisphere is right now is basically what happens as soon you zoom on well…anything. (The little magnify glasses with the plus). The amount of controls in there are ridiculous. Like stupid insane. My goal (as with any synth) is to have enough command of the engine to where I’m not at the mercy of the presets. And that takes a lot of trial by fire with a program this deep.

Heavens no. Massive is a wavetable synth. Omnisphere is wavetable, granular, and additive. So its like having Massive, FM8, Razor, and Prism all in one. Massive has some minor features that Omnisphere doesn’t, I don’t miss the stuff in massive that isn’t there. And if you listen to the verbs, delays and other FX in Omnisphere they’re outta this world.

I would say I do like the stability of Massive, the speed at which patches can load, and the feather light load it places on the CPU.

lol…it annoys me that NI won’t show you the wavetables Massive uses :frowning:
