Massive

Reviewed By SODDI [all]
July 15th, 2010
Version reviewed: 1.15 on Windows

I got this as part of the NI Komplete package and so far it is the least used of the synths in the package (excluding Guitar Rig, as I do not do guitar.) This is mainly because of stability issues. The synth crashes when being tweaked in my host (Cubase Studio 4) about 2 out of 3 times. This is even while running in "Eco" mode (the lowest of 3 processor-utilization modes). Maybe my recent upgrade to Cubase 5 will help, but I am not sanguine about it. Sounds provided are ordinary, nothing to amaze and/or delight, and there are many that are just plain annoying. There are 86 waveforms provided as the basic sonic building blocks. However, after you get past the standard analog waveforms their names often mean nothing ("Strontium", "Duck Organ") and because of the stability issues when tweaking the synth, it is tough to get a conceptual handle on what each sound SOUNDS like. The interface is very nice, intuitive and stripped-down. The multiple modulation routings are a very good touch.

You use the KVR Market Place. http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=43.

Read first all Announcements at the top of that forum. These are important rules. Below this you have "sticky" posts (with small light bulbs beside each post). These are not sales. Look then look for license sale announcements in the posts below this section, that do not have the small light bulb beside them.
Most often you will conduct business with the person selling his/her software via Private Message. Read and familiarise yourself with the guidelines in the Announcements section at the top and you'll be entering the Market Place on the right foot.
