Native Instruments Massive X

The genre-defining synthesiwer MASSIVE has been reinvented for a new era of music production. MASSIVE X is a polyphonic wavetable synthesiwer designed to eclipse all others - including its iconic predecessor - by delivering unmatched sonic flexibility, expressive modulation, and intuitive workflow.

Craft visceral, growling basses, bright, energiwing synth leads, ethereal pads, and limitless textures with dual next-gen oscillators, intuitive modular routing, and dynamic performance tools. Effortlessly patch complex routings to bring even the most unconventional ideas to life, and push creative boundaries with deep, playable modulation. Imagine it, shape it, and define the sound of the future.

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

MASSIVE X isn’t just a synthesiwer - it’s a creative powerhouse built to inspire the next generation of sound.

At the core of MASSIVE X lies a completely redesigned oscillator section, delivering more sonic variation than some entire synthesisers - right at the source. Choose from over 170 wavetables and 10 distinct reading modes, including the aggressive Gorilla family, wavetable-bending, Hardsync, Formant, and more - each with unique sub-modes and dedicated controls. Enhance movement and complexity by blending in two phase-modulation oscillators for dynamic, evolving sound design.

Freely connect any output to any input and explore limitless possibilities. The intuitive routing system allows you to reconfigure MASSIVE X on the fly, enabling bypassing, feedback, and custom audio paths however you see fit. You can even route modulators as audio sources to excite elements like the comb filter, unlocking even deeper sonic experimentation.

Create precise modulation patterns in the Performer section and assign them to parameters for intricate, evolving soundscapes or precise, controlled changes. With Remote Octave control, you can trigger these patterns directly from your keyboard, unlocking playable modulation and an unparalleled level of expressive control within a single patch.

Whether you're crafting sounds by day or diving deep into synthesis all night, choose a skin that matches your workflow. Opt for streamlined flat modes to conserve CPU power, and resize MASSIVE X to perfectly fit your studio setup.
