All user reviews for the Native Instruments Massive

No problem, if that 's that I have had to switch to komplete5 to have it, if not with 4 days' time was out.
this makes it twice m 'arrive and force their marketing to the nuts I' have had enough.

Komplete4 more kore 1400 Euro upgrade the 5 200 euros more, upgrade to kore 2, 99 euros (the grace period has missed a week!).

And results of races: Komplete5 kore2 more: 900 euros, nine

Sometimes it leaves me speechless all this.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

It consumes far. To adjust the level of quality. Perfectly stable.

OVERALL OPINION

The possibilities are great indeed, when he pulls into the nose. Sounds incredible and totally new to those who can make automation more than two parameters.

Sequences rework has a ready-made sauce, much better than some sample library.

So sometimes, yes, the filters sound in toc, but in a mix with the next evolution of automation, it s' perceive more.
And nothing to prevent it sticking to the filter type Ohmicide buttocks.
Sounds big and fat when we forget its a priori. Moi j 'draws serious stuff.

Installation is very simple, offline activation relatively simple if you have an internet connection nearby.

The manual is clear and well ordered.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I use a Toshiba Satellite laptop and everything works great.
Mass is stable and functional now. Little extra, you can choose between several sound quality settings that affect the CPU. This is very significant when working with a number of VST.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for almost 6 months.
Very easy to use and exploit (or more intuitive qu'Absynth FM8) is a real pleasure to work with Massive.

Question sound is excellent but will not suit everyone. The sound is very typical "digital", ideal for modern sounds, cold or aggressive but if you want to rework sound more analog. In comparison, Massive approximates sounds of the Virus TI but with one side slightly less analogue than the latter.

The filters are very good qualities, the effects of good quality are limited to two effects in series (which is a bit light).

In conclusion, Massive is a great VST synth for the modern sound that has virtually nothing from the machine hardware, it lacks a good arpeggiator for it a little gas plant to do with the designer step but otherwise it's perfect.

The price / quality ratio is interesting (even through the Komplete Synth) and saw the potential is far from expensive.

Massive has some ok presets, but I am not impressed with them though. They are very airy and weird/techno like. But if you are into techno music this is for you. But unfortunately it doesn’t have very many presets that are useful (to me at least). They are not big full sounding presets/instruments. They are very thin and have a lot of reverb and phase on them.
The base and low end sounds don’t seem to be very big either, still very light thin sounds. If you want to edit any of these presets you will definitely need to understand the basics of sounds design. This program could leave you overwhelmed when looking at the interface.


SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

If you don’t understand sound design do not get this program, because this is one for the sound designers. You cannot get the sounds the way you want unless you truly understand sound creation. Stay away from this program if you are a beginner. The manual that I have with this program is ok, but its still doesn’t help with sound design. And this is obviously a program for designers that have been doing it for years and know how to build and manipulate a sound.

OVERALL OPINION

I used this as a vst with fl studio. Works great and never gave me a crash running with windows vista. After all this is a very powerful but just not for the beginner or the rookie music producer. It doesn’t have a lot of presets and everything is pretty much all techno, once you want to get away from the presets you will be stuck. This program is too confusing for the beginners. Price is ok, not the best and not the worst. Could be worth a try for you if you want to be a sound designer.

The name massive is very spot on. This is a huge synth with a huge amount of options. Were it not for the presets, most users would be lost on their first Massive run through. Setup is easy enough though. It's basically plug and play. I use it with cubase and an axiom 25 most of the time. NI assumes that many users will be confused at first by the massive layout, so they provide a nice interface for navigating into desired sounds.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Like NI suggests, I use Massive for weird leads and bass. It's also good for spacey sound effects and ambient stuff too. It does really well in this environment. There's a lot of versitility to be had just from scrolling through presets. Eventually though the presets get kind of old and the novelty wears off. At this point either two things happen depending what kind of user you are. You read the manual and learn how to use it to make your own sounds fairly quickly, or you get lost in the endless options and parameters and give up on Massive. Typically, if you haven't had a lot of experience with these style synths, you will end up shelving the vst. It took me a while, but I learned it in a few weeks. I have some gripes though. The sequencing functions are not very good compared to other synths I've used. In my experience massive is only good for flat bass and ambient sounds. Sequenced leads fall flat.

OVERALL OPINION

Unless you are confident in your know how of soft synths, you might want to skip Massive. It can be complicated once you run out of presets to keep you afloat. It's not for beginners. For the value it's pretty good. Not phenomenal. I still use it these days, but not as often as my first few months with it. I find it's easier to get usable sounds with other programs.

Initially, when I had purchased, apparently, it seemed, as trite synth.
But I am trompé.Beaucoup people say it's a monster sound.
I totally agree with them, be it a synth, ok! but the point to succeed in creating identical sounds alarm, helicopters, planes ....... Here! I am amazed.

The installation is done well.
It is easy to configuerer
No conflict for me
The manual is clear

Once we to understand the operation of the synth, it can do wonders.
It can also be used in a sequencer vst plugins.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6 months and I am very happy.

Yes! I tried other instruments, but not as well as massive

What I like most is that we can create sounds at infinity.
In addition there are updated from time to time on the manufacturer's site, where they add sound.

I'd buy the 200 euro.
For a synth, which is also used in vst plugins, it's really cheap.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

macbook 2.4 ghz 4gbram

CPU uses a lot of presets for heavy-type drones with lots of variations

otherwise very well for a more "classic" (3 osc, filters, effects and variations + qq)

a few crashes in the beginning but the regular updates solved the problem

OVERALL OPINION

I did not because I am used too quickly past the hardware analog synths

but I bought it after just used a friend's house and have found the sound huge.

I am always satisfied with the sound obtained with the short time that I used (some pieces composed with).

It is great full or complex. Very efficient to create sounds with rhythmic patterns or patterns of variation, with many parameters modulation (several step sequencers easy to use)

I will not repeat that choice because I am now ironed to hardware synths, synths and I love fiddling without turning to computer

Otherwise, it is really a killer on certain sounds and styles (wobble dubstep, electro blip drone electrik electro ...)

can sound very, very fat, such as highly crystalline

Briefly, this would be my regular synth plugin if I had not given the hardware

With native instruments massive you sometimes have a bit of trouble installing it.
I however did not have this trouble but some people using digital audio workstations such as cubase and logic have a problem with it crashing when installing.
Everything on this synth is very easy to work out.
Everything just seems to be in the right place in terms of the vst, all the envelopes are located near each other and the oscillators are all under each other.
I found it relatively easy to set up but that is just me.


SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

With my configuration as a laptop with 4gb memory and a 1.8GHz processor makes everything work as it should.
I will admit though that running a lot of massives all at once with a lot of delay will make your program lag a little, not enough to totally put you off but just a little that it can be annoying at times.
The performance is great, it even has extra settings on the vst such as eco, pro and ultra for how good performance you want.
Sometimes this vst will crash but it is an easy fix but can get irritating if you are half way through a track or something like that.


OVERALL OPINION

This vst in my eyes has to be the best vst no doubt about it.
Everything is amazing on it, simple layout lots of features envelopes lfos effects eq make this vst stand out from the rest.
I would like more envelopes personally to make even crazier sounds but I am happy with what is on it at the moment.
Sound quality is brilliant.
Value for price is great. I would like it to be cheaper but we all would want things cheaper anyway.
I would definitely make the same choice if I was needing to buy it again.
Perfect vst in my eyes.

The installation is no problem as other vst tt!
I have never read the manual c is a synth found in the tt mass functions found in classic mao


SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

J have a small laptop ds that I can open it already a lot of body mass without too much problem of latency or freeze the cpu to not bother to extend m m when I used to fix most pc Motu 896 MK3 is c tt good

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using more than one year may have near as many other plug of native instrument

I love that c is the wave forms embedded in this pluguin the sound filters and system lfo or polyphonic unison and spread the available

c is now clear it sounds good, but the performer personal and really not very useful when it is about to work seriously (it is more likely to use automation in daw)
but I think that c is a system that can be trainer for noobs

this plug loads many forms of sound synthesis tete fm rm additive subtractive

I don t like more than that the onboard effects (of tt way when you want big sound it makes ca in the mixer with other large plugs)

the Enwrapping are enough for me to be practical

the fact of having boxes under each parameter for link the lfo ect again c is very good trainer but I appreciated a longer modulation matrix and much more effective control is via the DAW (via multi-link with other plug twelve o'clock ect)

but hey I did it with what nimporte vst synth then again .... AC may be more but my mind is useless c

the mass remains one of my favorite porn I plug it opos rapture of the cakewalk that I prefer (c meter is possible to clean waveform) c but this is two highly complementary
Summary of c is very good plug for the connoisseur who will benefit from very good sounds
also very educational for noobs
and above all things and before c is a very good sound pluguin search the easy part of link tt lfo and another on the para and multilink with Velocity keyboard key and after that stuff tt

Native Instruments' Massive is a collection of synthesizer sounds, found in Komplete, which houses all of Native Instruments virtual instruments. Massive on it's own is also sold and features everything you'd find in an analog synth and more. You can use Massive in Logic or other DAW's and on it's own I believe, although I've personally only used it in Logic. I don't own it myself so I wasn't involved with installing it or anything. Learning to fully understand everything happening in Massive will definitely take some time! The interface is great and user friendly but there is so much jam packed into this software that it's going to take some time to get used to it all. That's really going to be the case with an super in depth virtual instrument, so it's no different with Massive and is perhaps even more exaggerated because of it's reach. The manual might be a good thing to have around for new users.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I've used Native Instruments Massive primarily on a friends system who I work with. He's got a decked out Logic set up and we work on his system when we're working in the box and mine when we're doing actual acoustic recording. I don't know all the specs that he's running, but it's an Apple G5 computer that's running both Logic and Pro Tools, although we only use Massive in Logic. It's his go to virtual synth and we use it on pretty much everything we do together. You definitely need to have a good system to run this!

OVERALL OPINION

If you're looking for the ultimate virtual synthesizer, Native Instruments' Massive is for you. I'd highly recommend checking out Komplete 7 as a whole as it's a nice savings when you break it down per price per piece of software included. Massive is probably my favorite of the bunch, but each does it's own thing and everything included is quite useful. Massive on it's own has some of the best digital synth sounds I've heard, as everything from the leads to the bass synth sounds are great. You can tweak to your heart's desire and make your own sounds as well. It has all sorts of effects, filters, and everything you'd want when getting your synth sounds. Massive really is one of the best when it comes to virtual synthesizers.

Works perfectly in Logic Pro 9, no installation worries.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I have a intel core 2 duo with 4GB of RAM and I'm multiply tracks it does not crash. Massive does not require a lot of resources compared to kontakt example. I have been using

OVERALL OPINION

soon 1 year and yes I have tried many models you can not even imagine!

I find this exceptional instrument for several reasons:

-The automation is probably best thought of all the software ever released to date, in fact, simply assign the 8 knobs of his physical controller knobs noon to 8 virtual Massive. Once this step can be done given the massive virtual knobs to most filters, effects, oscillation, ect .. AND EVEN MORE PARAMETERS AT THE SAME TIME! Imagine you change the cutoff frequency of a filter while changing the first phase of the oscillation at the same time as we increase the rate of oscillation of the 2nd LF0. Brief insane!

-The sound capabilities are huge!

-The grip is far from difficult, at the beginning then you are lost in the end we realize that it's very intuitive, I looked at the dozen tutorials on youtube there and we understand very quickly mechanisms of the instrument. It's like a big Malmstrom and more advanced (for the connoisseurs of reason). In addition the factory presets can also be used as tutorial.
Finally if you do not know software will watch videos on youtube to get an idea of its capabilities because for me it has become essential in all my electronic compositions.

I have had no compatibility issues running this synth on my macbook. I have not needed to reference a manual as this is your basic synthesizer setup. Yes, the general configuration is simple enough. You have all the traditional elements of an analog synthesizer set up in an easy to read/use Graphic user interface. Yes, all the typical functions are right in front of you and easily accessed.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

When I first got this unit and started using it in Logic 8, it would occasionally crash. I use it now in Logic 9 and Ableton 8 and there has been no problems whatsoever. I don't know whose fault it was (logic 8 or NI) but everything seems to work great now. I give it a 10 out of 10 for performance. Great sounds, great interface and it functions well with all of my midi gear. I have been using this synth for about a year now.

OVERALL OPINION

What I like most about this synth is that the GUI is rather large. This is important for me because I use a Macbook with a 13" monitor and some synths are so small you end up struggling to control them in live situations. Other important things to mention is that the sound quality is really good, as you would expect from Native Instruments. There is nothing I dislike about this synth that I can think of. The sound quality is very good. Its clean and warm when you want that and its gritty and digital sounding when you want that too, very versatile. I got this one in a package deal and I don't recall how much I paid for the whole thing, but I do remember it being a good deal. I have used a lot of synth plugins over the years and this one is definitely up there. I have to admit that I don't use it nearly as much as I used to but that's only because I am in love with Rob Papen's synths and Absynth. Yes, I would buy this synth again, especially if it was a part of a good deal package.
