I just recently got this synth in Komplete Now. Thank you for explaining all this and making it easy to understand. Excellent job!
Great synth!! 🔥
Bless you Jef!!!! Dynamic content and so consumable for how strategically its taught
I never thought I would be able to understand wavetables and massive x but you were able to do it so succinctly and precisely. Thank you so much. I look forward to being subscribed and binging all your videos now. Bless your soul. 🙏
This was phenomenal Jef. I appreciate all the time and care you put into these. I learned a ton bout Massv X I never had the time or any reason to go look into the engine on this thing. You demystified the whole package. This was wonderful!
Glad to hear it Dan! I enjoyed digging into this one...
Clear and really well delivered..you're a great educator the teaching style is brilliant..love it..I always learn lots on this channel (the how to use time warp video of yours was a game changer for me 👍 ).
Amazing explanation! Just reignited my creativity and purchased NI Ultimate 14 and a Komplete Kontrol. Watching your vids are educating before I deep dive.
Massive x basics masterclass
Great video
I really liked your style
Simple is the best
You are real teacher
I was checking the videos about the synthesizers for a couple of days and this was the video that I finally understood
Jef You did a great tuto. My fav expansions are Pulse Rush and Our House. They give you very good start points. Merci Jef.
Thanks Pat! Yeah, incredibly well designed patches!
Great tutorial...subscribed, thank you!
Man that’s such a cool space you’ve got there❤
This was incredible Thank you!
Most welcome Geraden!
Yep, this so well explained. I use this great synth everyday but do find the interface a bit baffling. You explained everything so clearly and now I can’t wait to boot up again and have a good twiddle. Subbed!
Glad to hear it, thanks for the comment!
Thank you for this video! I was definitely most confused by the massive x performer functions before this, its so different from the OG massive which I know like the back of my hand. Would love a more in depth dive on it!
Sounds good! I love the features so much, and doing the vid would really help me out in the long run too. Thanks Marc!
These are great, more please! :D
Thanks Tony!
really nice video, thanks !
Great overview thank you
Outstanding Jef. Outstanding. I love MX (though it is CPU-heavy). Great tutorial. If I had a request for something from Komplete, it'd be FM8
Thanks! Yeah that’s an oldy but a goody…
DUDE, that's a very nice studio
My fav synth....thx Jeff...top tube
Glad to hear it, thanks Simon!
Excellent video!
Thanks Kirk!
Thank you for this, I’ve found massive x to be entirely too layered to get into so far, but your break down helps a lot. Think I’ll try to rebuild some my Europa patches in it and see if my basic understanding holds out :)
It's a confusing synth at first! I was overwhelmed when I started on it, but now I dig it for sure!
Jef I asked you a while ago about massive x and here we go ‚ massive x is Here ❤️💪
Jef Gibbons rulez 👍
Yes! I put my requests in my "upcoming videos" list... glad I could help you out Fademan!
Hi, Jef ! How to locate ( find) the preset (nksf file ) that I just imported from third party company ? Thank you !!
Thanks again for the video
Because you emphasized the right point
What is a synthesizer and how can you personalize it to get your sound
Thanks
Interesting. I've got to admit I slept a bit on Massive X. There was a lot of negativity when it came out because I think people had been expecting something like an improved Massive and they got this completely different synth. But I really like that they did their own thing (and there's still Serum if you want an improved Massive). The UI is a bit different too. The range of oscillator modes and different filters is what sets it apart I think. Just the other week I was going through the factory library (and expansions) and it really has a lot of fantastic sounds with tons of diversity. I'm still not sure if I'd recommend it to people as an individual purchase because there are so many good synth VSTs to choose from now, but if you got it as part of Komplete, it's definitely worth your time to check it out.
My thoughts exactly Rich!
Yeh I agree, I remember when it first came out they didn't even have the blue visual feedback shapes working for the envelopes, they just had static blue shaped image. I think it was completely stupid to release it in such a unfinsihed state since it just got them so much hate and now its a bit of an outcast and isn't really a 'mainstream' synth. However for those of us that can look past the fact it isn't very popular, it is a little powerhouse that sounds amazing and I guess at the end of the day it's good for originility to use a non mainstream synth like serum which every man and his dog is using.
great !
You got the White Machine!! Nice!!
Edit: And the keys too!!
Yes! Love the look of em…
@@jefgibbons Your studio looks amazing!
Jeff you thought me o lot of basics at mk3.
I really like you. I created my own channel and i will pass my knowledge to my people in Poland. Thanks
Thanks! Feel free to share things you've learned in my videos!
jeff mate.. how do you get the filter to retrigger? i have the polyphony on 1 mono... no legato no trill and engine setup on reset all...but it does that thing same as some synths where if the filter envelopes release is to long the filter isnt the same as when you first press it... any help :D
I know why you're using Cubase and not Maschine. NI are you watching this? Why is there still no aftertouch support in Maschine? It's just a basic MIDI CC like the mod wheel.
The funny thing is that the Maschine controller supports aftertouch but the software doesn't.
But still a great video! Massive X is a beast of a synth 😎
BTW, at 29:57 I thought someone was yelling in the background 😂😂😂
Kinda true!!! Actually in Maschine I was getting some glitching on my macros... but not in Cubase! I've never noticed it before and I'm temporarily on an old MBP...
Jef! This 4K video looks awesome! Did you upgrade some camera gear? Change editing software? I bet a lot of subscribers would like a rundown of the gear you’re using lately for 4K. 😁
Good idea! Nothing has changed recently, just cranked the lights a little more on this one.
Man I’m so pissed this doesn’t work mom my computer. I’m gonna upgrade hopefully next year.. always amazing content @jefgibbons
Thanks Hugo! It's a great synth, but just keep pushing the stuff you have until then!
Unable to get my KK full screen like yours. I'm using it stand-alone on a windows 10 computer. Am I missing a trick?
I wish NI would program their presets to make the most of the ribbon controller. I own a very old 90’s Yamaha hardware synth and for almost every preset the ribbon controller does something very cool and interesting to the sound!
That's a really good point. Hopefully the patch-makers will get wind of this for future patches, we can really learn from them for inspiration on our own patches!
Howdy Jef! I've been deep diving into Massive X since it first came out and I really love it. I created a huge bank of sounds and was wondering if I could send them to you for your review and opinion? 290 patches total. Thank you - Operculum
Sweet! Of course! Are you planning to sell them? Head to www.gibbonscreative.ca and there’s a contact page there. I’ll email you back and then you can send me the files.
Awesome, I just emailed you. I am currently selling them on my website. Thanks for the quick reply!
Thanks for this mini masterclass. A lot to take in, but a great general overview. However, I'll stick to the presets for now 😄
They're just so good... excellently crafted patches!
👍🏾
I am really wondering that if I have the same knowledge like you, would I teach or not. Thank you very much by the way
Great video! Thank you but.. i think you need a bigger monitor..
Wow!! Priceless info Unc Jef!! Thank you!! Happy holidays!! U get ur New MacBook pro yet?? Huge question?? Im looking at a MacBook pro myself ESPECIALLY w black friday specials. Im primarily using Machine & protools.. Any suggestions one 2 get.. i5, i7 or 512 ssd ok? My price range between 1000-1600.. i know ur probably getting tht i9 bad boy..lol
M1??
Just an unsolicited personal opinion… I would not be buying an Intel Mac right now.
How are you getting massive X to work with Monterey OS? That's the one plug in that keeps playing notes after I hit to stop bar on my new 16" MBP and when I updated my 2020 13" M1 MBP
Shoot. New 16" comes next week... this is on an old one! (not on Monterey)
Hey Jef,
How is it working with your M1 Max ?
Cheers
Beautifully!! It’s so quiet and powerful, and I can take it anywhere. So glad I went mobile!
BUMP! 📈📈
Ya boi!
love the synth. sounds great, but it barely runs on my computer so i can't use it.
Funny to see a preset wavetable called "Hohlkopf"
It is german and means something like Airhead.
Lustig ;)
Diva masterclass please! :D
I actually don't even have it! Gotta get it...
Name of the robot over the tape recorder?
10:05 Literally just bought the same keyboard slide kit based on his recommendation. oof
Nice! Just don’t play too hard on it if you don’t have a board underneath it like me.
is there a way to double the tempo? For example your project is 80 bpm and you want to make the massive sequence be 160
Off the top of my head, try the rate knob on the sequence, that should do it!
You should use Rate knob which allows you to even 8x the temp (and 1/8x too).
Love massive X but I noticed when I created a saw stack it got my brand new 4k M1 Max Macbook pro to hit 100% in Ableton. Any clue why Massive seems to be so CPU intensive? I know I did max out the voices but it was still a surprise lol.
Yeah, it’s a beast! I just did a test with Massive x on my latest video.
@@jefgibbons Nice! I'll have to check it out.
Hopefully in a few weeks I have my first ever mac product (macbook pro M1 Max) but isn't Massive X one of the NI products that is still not M1 compatible after several years? It does run fine on my AMD desktop pc fine though
It works fine on my M1 Macbook Pro
@@udionarchy Cool. I look forward on playing with it as soon as I get my Mac
@@udionarchy Great to hear! Mine gets here next week......
What keyboard is that?
No possibility to upload wavetables is No for this synth from my side
10:50 for anyone who is interested in a midi controller, never get the Komplete kontrol A series controller, the macro knobs on it just never work. The unit only enters "plug in" mode in some circumstances. I thought at least with Massive X that I could get it to work. No dice. It just stays in DAW mode. It's supposed to change to plugin mode when holding down SHIFT and using the plugin button but it doesn't stick. Spent more time then I care to admit trying to get this stupid controller to map it's knobs to any plugin but it refuses. Maybe the S series doesn't have this problem.
That sucks man, you’re definitely using massive x inside Komplete kontrol software right? It won’t work if you just open massive x by itself in your daw
Do you think if in this century if we will get an update? Why they take so long?
I too am bummed about this… it has so much potential, but it feels like they’ve abandoned it because it was poorly received. If they had just called it something else everyone would have loved it…. But the massive fanboys ruined it… not that I’m bitter or anything!
@@jefgibbonsbut the funny thing is that this synth is one of the best, with the best sound of all and the most fun for sound design. i think if they do a big update that changes the bits that people hate such as the GUI (i dont get why thou) they may win people back. at some point as OS evolves they will be forced to update at least the drivers. they cannot just let it die and discontinue it. it is not a cheap synth, We paid money for it
@@jameswalker3869 Honestly, the way you can dig in with the Performers is so spectacular... So underrated!
I hope that a Kontakt Tutorial is coming for us NOOBS soon. :-)
Ahh, give me more specifics of what you would like to see!
Massive X is more scary than Geometry
Agree wholeheartedly… I always want to get more into it but it hurts my brain… time for them to simplify things on it…
@@jefgibbons Indeed, I used Nexus for years and it does everything I need it to do. Kontakt and Massive are just so confusing to me at times. It takes like 30 minutes just to make the sound the way I want it. Too many knobs and the ones I want to use in the first place aren't in simple spots.
Asimove - as i move xD
I’m guessing you’re calling me out on pronunciation?? Been a while since I saw this vid!
@@jefgibbons Nono, was meant to be funny, coz you said Asimov and then as I move this 😂
@@Mr_Pfau Aha! ;)
Massive x is certainly not a synth for beginners. Its way to complex. However once you learn synthesis massive x is second to none for making sounds nobody has heard before. Also it is packed with tons of amazing sounds. Don't let the hate twds this synth form your opinion. Its an amazing synth.
100% agree!
Needs a processor with avx, why? It’s the only music software on the planet that requires this. So beware you might buy it and it will not work.
Thanks for the tip, I wasn’t aware of this!
Bro, AVX technology was introduced at year of 2008 (Twenty O Eight). It was an ages ago -- 14 years! Are you still use Nokia 3310?
