Massive X - the thread

[nordickvr]

Does anyone know where Massive X stores user presets on a Windows 10 system?

I've looked in a few different places, I can't find them.

They're in your Reaktor snapshots folder, you're probably looking at the Ensemble, you need to look at the Instrument level. Don't forget to turn on edit in order to save.

Man, that Unison and Chord section is so awesome. The amount of sounds you can achieve with that section alone is just amazing, especially when you start modulating it. Good stuff.

Yeah, the harmonizer. So good.

Check the 'read me' file that came with the demo. It tells you where they should be.
I checked and there was a folder there, but it was empty.
I found the presets in another folder in a different location, but couldn't direct MX to find them. It could just re-scan the same place it scanned before.

uh... then can't you just move or copy the presets to the folder they're supposed to be in??

Browser is functional, though. It browses and loads patches, does it not? Basic requirement is there. A non-functional browser would either not show any patches, or not load any patches.

It doesn't browse user presets... cause there is no directory structure. I cannot organize files according to type of sound. They are all just thrown in one folder and that's it. I consider that non functional

You could use an amazing new trick that has been around, well, since forever. Use a sound type prefix when you name your presets. Like Pad: Evolving Puke Stream, or Bas: Bowel Movement. Voilá, organized user sounds.

Yes - I forgot to mention that I copy/pasted them to the folder where they're supposed to be, re-scanned, and they still didn't show up.

I deleted the demo, but it sounds like it's working OK for most people, I guess.

You can consider a cow a horse, but that doesn't make it so.

And you can consider that thing in MX to be an actual browser and that doesn't make it so.

it is a browser, just not a very good one. but you can 'browse' presets and you can group together your own. joseC's suggestion, above, can certainly help as well.

it's not a browser... in a browser you can create directories and organize files... MX is a shoebox, not a filing cabinet.

If we were to listen to active critics of Massive X, one cannot but help to imagine that Massive X must be a speckless synth when the criticism boils down to semantics of the term "browser" or the significance of 6db's in aliasing components when playing at extremely high notes.

Folks, is Massive X any good?

Should I get it?

[ghettosynth]

I liked it at first, but now I'm starting to hear that Reaktor sound in every patch.

Yeah, there was something about the sound that was a little "plastic-y".
