THE (RE)BIRTH OF A LEGEND

Rethought, rewired, and reincarnated – MASSIVE X is the successor to an iconic synthesizer that helped spawn entire genres. Get everything you need to create any sound imaginable. Quickly patch complex routings to bring your ideas to life – no matter how far-out they might seem – and take things further than you thought you could with expressive, playable modulation. Think it up, dial it in, and define what the future sounds like.

MASSIVE X will grow, adapt, and evolve with regular free updates – both inspired by, and to inspire, the cultures it helps to create.

Switchable Skins

From processor-friendly flat modes, to all-night sound design dark modes, choose a skin that works for you.

Resizable GUI

MASSIVE by name, but any size you like by nature – scale MASSIVE X to fist your window.

Oscillators and Noise

The heart of MASSIVE X: Kick things off with two wavetable oscillators, a huge selection of wavetables, and countless different ways of using them and shaping their sound – with huge potential for tonal variation.  And insert noise from a variety of natural and synthetic sources.

Filters

Next up, send your sound through the MASSIVE X filters.  Discover all-new ways of sculpting your sound with a series of unique filters – each with their own sub-modes and unique controls.

Effects – Insert and Stereo

Insert up to three effects anywhere within the signal chain, either in series or parallel, or use the same slots to insert additional oscillators.  Then apply a range of onboard Stereo FX to the output.

Voice Page

More than just a setup page, the Voice section lets you dive deep into MASSIVE X’s synth engine.  Crossfade between wide unison and chord voices to cook up new harmonic blends, or modulate the voice parameters to get really wild.

Routing

Route any output to any input with a couple of clicks to quickly create complex signal paths.  This is one area where you can really experiment wth different elements of MASSIVE X.

Evelopes and LFOs

This is where you can really start to sculpt, move, and shift your sound.  With nine slots for envelopes and LFOs, there’s always enough modulation to go around.  Drag and drop anywhere you like.

Performer/Remote Octave

Inject controlled variation by drawing up to eight bars of modulation with the Performers.  Assign them to a control octave to play expressive and complex sequences, or just go for out-of-this-world experimentation.

Tracker

Modulate parameters depending on which note you play, and how, with the Tracker.  Draw curves for fine-tuning modulation per note, or for playing dynamics in countless ways – increase reverb when playing harder, or increase the delay when you hit a specific note, for example.
