MASSIVE X: Key features, how it sounds, and a free preset pack

MASSIVE X is the successor to Native Instrument’s world-renowned flagship synth.

While preserving the original MASSIVE’s sonic DNA, it brings a range of brand-new features including a new oscillator section, intuitive routing capabilities, drawable modulation parameters, and more. Above, Marcel Kussel from the Native Instruments team walks through the key features and views of MASSIVE X that you’ll want to know about to get the most out of the plugin.

Splice INSTRUMENT is a virtual instrument plugin that puts world-class sounds at your fingertips. Download it for free and start making music with hundreds of pro-quality presets—plus new, exclusive Free Drops every month to keep your ideas flowing.
