Huh? What changes? Isn't that the exact same design as shown when NI announced the delay?Examigan wrote: ↑Sat Mar 16, 2019 11:52 pm GUI changes...

I wasn't 100% sure, didn't compare the other images from before to this new one from just a couple days ago. I figured it wouldn't hurt to post a link to it, and hey, it's a nice screenshot of it.dreamkeeper wrote: ↑Sun Mar 17, 2019 2:11 amHuh? What changes?

* What I love in Pigments are the randomizers and combinators. Can we expect something like that? NI speaks about 100 random sources but what are these?
Edit: I see the lfo- random in the screenshot but I don't think you can get a staircased S&H pattern out of it for example.
* In Zebra you have some sort of 'autoconnect' so that a standard signalflow is automatically created and only manual action is needed when you want to divert from it. Will this be the case here also?

I wonder why they show a screenshot of a reaktor core structure at the top of the page , since it's been already said massive x will not be a reaktor ensembleExamigan wrote: ↑Sat Mar 16, 2019 11:52 pm GUI changes...

I hope the Reaktor comments are a joke, but if not...

It's strange that they put all those Reaktor design graphics on the Massive X Lab page. That won't help the confusion.
And I don't see what they've changed in the GUI at all from earlier pictures.

Here's my thinking on why they made Massive X's GUI look like it could have been made with Reaktor.
They probably think that most NI customers like the Reaktor sound, especially the instruments that have actually been made for Reaktor. They probably think this will be a bigger seller than if it just looked like a generic synth.
In short, it's a marketing thing. Make this look like something we know people would love if it was that something.
Whether or not their thinking is correct (or for what matter if that even IS their thinking and this is not just coincidence) that's another matter altogether and it's not something I could ever prove. But I'm sure they had to see the similarity between Massive X and Reaktor ensembles if everybody else here sees the similarity. Coincidence? Maybe. But I don't believe in coincidences.
