All these features have been implemented with a focus on usability so MASSIVE is just as easy to use on a hectic stage as it is in the studio.

The integrated step sequencers, effects, and a highly flexible modulation concept deliver incredible versatility. The efficient search and intuitive filter functions let you find presets according to specific characteristics and attributes – a particularly musical and intuitive approach. MASSIVE contains over 1300 sounds, all crafted by leading artists and sound designers. And an overwhelming array of wavetable oscillators, modulation options, and filters and effects offer a sonic spectrum as broad as it is inspiring. Razor-sharp leads cut through the mix even with grit and dirt piled high. If I try hitting the ‘’ in Kontakt, I get a spinning beachball. And with an ever-growing feature set, KONTAKT continues to be the sample engine behind the future of sound. Its sophisticated sound engine, wide array of effects, powerful modulation possibilities, and advanced scripting brings a universe of sound to life with unrivaled playability and realism. The MASSIVE X Factory Library is a separate installation, be sure to install via NATIVE ACCESS. DESCRIPTION: KONTAKT is the world’s leading software sampler. On Apple Silicon machines, Rosetta2 must be installed in order to install and use MASSIVE X. MASSIVE X requires an Intel processor with AVK or an Apple Silicon processor. Any time this happens, I am not able to restart the Mac, so have to do a hard power off, and then do a fresh restart after powering back on. MASSIVE X is available as AXX, AU, VST and VST3 Plug-ins in this version.

MASSIVE gives your tracks a solid foundation with the creamiest, punchiest basses. If I stop playback and try to play a single note on any Kontakt patch, the disk meter will flash red even though it remains at 0 usage.

Clearly laid out and easy to use, MASSIVE gives you earth-shuddering sounds from the very first note. The virtual-analog concept belies the contemporary, cutting-edge sound it generates. At the heart of MASSIVE X you’ll find the completely new oscillator section capable of producing more variation than some entire synths, right at the source. MASSIVE is a sonic monster – the ultimate synth for basses and leads.
