No, it's not out.

Just wondering, all the talk about new Reaktor, or even Absynth versions, and noone wondering why such a popular synth like Massive is not getting a sequel? Actually, i'm wondering. It has been quite some time since its release. And i always thought it was actually one of the, if not THE, most popular synths from NI. What do you think?

I wonder if FM 8 is not more popular than Massive ???

This said there's plenty of room for a Massive 2. At least I know exactly how I would do it

They could call it "Ginormous"

I'd call it Massiver or Mo' Massive.

But, NI will probably call it Gigantik.

Massive Ultimate

You really had me there with that post btw. Of all the synths I have, some arguably better, it's the one I reach to the most.

I'd call version 2 - Missive

How 'bout a player-only version called ''Passive''?

Or Passive-Aggressive ?

Awe... just use Reaktor 6 to make an Ensemble of Massive 2.5, then 2.73,.....or some Massive Effects

It was a long while until Reaktor 6 and Battery 4 so why not another Massive.

...Massive 2 would be even bigger than Star Wars...

I'd rather see Absynth 6 first and Kontakt 6 before that.

It seems to be ages ago since tehy released a new standalone synth not based o Reaktor or being a new Kontakt update.

Would be indeed time for a Massive 2 or something completely new that is not based on Reaktor.

I'm starting to lose faith that NI will ever put their focus back on their standalone synths. They seem to be putting all new development into Reaktor, Kontakt libraries, and Maschine. I guess that's where the money is for them these days.
