As now discussed in this thread and announced awile back in the NI forum, Stephen Wey (aMUSEd) has made the wonderful job of converting The Serpent nmsv sounds to Kore ksd sounds including 8 morph positions on every preset, free for all The Serpent users.
If you are interested, send me a note.

Added a new demo song "Kyuss Of Brak Ominum And The Serpent" with sounds from both Darker Than Dark Within Bloom and The Serpent.

Please have a listen.

All sounds are from the mentioned libraries.
No fx or processing but a small amount of limiter on the output.

Wow, I did not know Massive was capable of such sounds. I d/l the demo presets and I am impressed. I was going to buy another synth but now I think I will study Massive more in depth. Definitely getting your sound banks.

BTW what is "Exceptional Maschine" you're working on? Is it a Maschine expansion?

What library can I find the sound at 5:24?

Wow, I did not know Massive was capable of such sounds.

It's a very deep wavetable synth with lots of modulation and expressive possibilities. Ironically when Massive first came out there were a lot of people making very diverse banks including lots of cool complex sounds along these lines such as the biolabs bank and first 2 Nucleus Soundlabs banks, but then it got rather pigeonholed by its association with a few EDM genres and there was a glut of banks churning out minor variations on the same few sounds that didn't come close to plumbing its depths. So it's great so see banks like Leap into the Void's, as well as recent offerings by The Unfinished and a third Nucleus Soundlabs bank that so capably demonstrate the sound design monster that Massive is.

Thanks, glad to hear you like them as much.
If you are interested in getting more in-depth with Massive you might like to check a video tutorial/walkthru I recorded (explaining, showing tweaks/morphing possibilities and then building the preset from scratch) of one of the presets in Darker Than Dark Within Bloom called "Una Of Nost".
It shows off some imho interesting design techniques.
You can find it in this thread.

Yes.

Thanks for the interest.
There are three presets playing at that time. "Destined", "Insects" and "Mountain and the cluster of stars", all three from The Serpent. You might want to check the patchlist and comments pdf for comments and descriptions of the presets.

Yes.

Looking forward to the Maschine expansion. I haven't found any (past few years) that peaked my interest until now. If you need any beta testers or input let me know!

Cool, great to hear.
The development is really beginning to take form. I'll make sure there will be an announcement when it's closing in to a finished product.

cool, thanks

but then it got rather pigeonholed by its association with a few EDM genres

Massive could be the cover boy for pigeonholed synths.

The Serpent update!
The Serpent has been updated with another 16 presets making it now a total of 144 presets.
All of the presets can be tweaked extensively by using the assigned macro knobs to enable sound shaping and morphing possibilities of far and beyond.

Uploaded new demo song "Venerate The Feedfull Midcall" using four sounds from the update.

Please have a listen.

No fx but a small amount of limiter on the output.
All sounds come from the four presets.

This is just a quick noodle made using just one preset from the recent expansion for The Serpent to show off the enormous range of variation within just one patch (using Kore 2 to morph smoothly between variations - the Kore patches will be available soon for any Kore 2 owners).

Sweeet!!
clap clap clap Bravo! (the audience goes) clap clap whistle!
From noodle to lullaby to out of bounds trippy weirdo. Great morphing from subtle between the keys-sounds and to the extreme pitching and far out and then back.
Great listen! Thanks.
