I think they got a bit of tribal influences that can be traced to music of African origin...
That's true, the beat for virtually all dance and rock music comes originally from those traditions, but the rock/synth pop/dance scene was primarily invented by US/UK musicians.

Then you can hear what's REALLY going on inside that sound engine...


But the GUI looks very sexy - in true NI style....


I prefer woman who look great with no makeup at all ...


The FX in Massive are just a mask to hide the imperfections :wink:
Agreed. I recently bought Massive on sale and was definitely seduced by the workflow, which TBH, is some of the best GUI workflow for programming sounds no question about that. However, the raw sound of any u-he synths trump any synth I've ever heard. It's frightening how great just the raw oscillators sound on zebra/diva. It's remarkable the kind of achievements u-he has made.

I just need a faster computer for Diva. She's a demanding lady :)

Could they have made that kind of music without affordable equipment that originated in Asia/Japan?

Some of the classic basslines in early house, are basically straight presets from synths programmed by Japanese engineers.

which is why pop music really is an evolution of MANY things; synths from japan, kids in basements in chicago, musicians everywhere. where would we be without kraftwerk, yellow magic orchestra (i just got turned on to them recently; amazing stuff).

i don't care WHERE it comes from, i only care if music moves me...or not.

ALL these plugins depend on the enduser, so bad music on a "good" plugin has less value than good music from a 'lesser' plugin...

They may be japanese companies, but the classic sounds were not programmed by them

"Massive's acceptance as the dubstep synth of choice marks one of the first instances of a soft synth being cast as the "voice" of a genre. And that's pretty cool by us."

McDonalds is also very popular but that doesn't make it good :uhuhuh:
