THE OSCILLATORS AND NOISE MODULES

Dual wavetable oscillators form the core of MASSIVE X’s sound. Choose from over 170 wavetables and 10 different oscillator modes – each with their own sub-modes. These determine how each wavetable is read, with unique controls to shape the resulting sound, which can – of course – be modulated. Dial in two additional phase-modulation oscillators, assign them to the primary oscillators to introduce movement, or even use an external sound source to do the same. 

Two noise modules – with sources ranging from synthesized sounds to rain, choirs, voices, and machines – make MASSIVE X a powerful engine for textures and left-field sound design.

UNISON VOICING

Introduce real musicality to your patch with the Unison section. This is a powerful tool for generating voice variation in both mono and polyphonic modes, and can produce everything from the minute tonal and phase deviation you’d hear when a choir or group of instruments plays the same melody, to chords and scales using the harmonizer, or a cross between the two. If you want to get really in-depth, it’s even possible to modulate it to play melodic and chord sequences of up to eight bars using the performers.

ROUTING

Route, re-route, and feed back audio with absolute freedom. Any output can be connected to any input, and there are even modulation inserts which can be routed within the section – such as treating an envelope as an audio source and using it to excite the comb filter. In MASSIVE X, there’s no need to choose or compromise when setting up your patch.

MACRO CONTROLS

Get hands-on with any parameter using 16 macro controls, as well as pitch bend, modwheel, and aftertouch controls. Assign them to what you need the most to shape your sound when playing live or recording. They also act as a bridge between MASSIVE X and your DAW’s automation.
