MPV's NI 206 - Massive - Essentials 1.0

Native Instruments' Massive lives up to its impressive name. Learn how to program this feature-rich virtual instrument in this revealing tutorial by synth specialist, Mo Volans...<br />Not big... Not huge... Nor gigantic... But MASSIVE! That???*a*?s exactly what this awesome powerhouse synth is all about! However, a massive synth needs a bit of massive explaining. That???*a*?s why we handed this project over to Mo Volans; Mo knows synthesis inside out. And in this tutorial you???*a*?ll get a road map of the essential functions, routings, waveforms and modulation options that make Massive such a unique synth and a sound designer???*a*?s dream come true!<br /><br />Right from the beginning you???*a*?ll learn all about Massive???*a*?s basic design and synthesis modules. Mo starts out with a look at all of this synth???*a*?s oscillators and sound generators. Next up you???*a*?ll dive into the amazing multi-mode filters, effects and master sections. Once these main features are covered, Mo makes sure that you get a deep look at Massive???*a*?s more in-depth features: the advanced envelopes, complex modulators, as well as the different performance controls that lurk beneath the virtual faceplate of this NI beast.<br /><br />The second part of this tutorial digs deeper into programming. There???*a*?s no better way to learn synthesis that by watching a pro like Mo Volans take the controls and build some sonic masterpieces from scratch.<br /><br />So if you???*a*?re looking to design those really big, huge, gigantic, MASSIVE sounds, sit back and learn some cool synthesis techniques from MPV???*a*?s synth expert, Mo Volans.<br /><br />Table of contents:<br /><br />1.
