Dissect The Preset: MASSIVE X

Watch as we break apart some of the best presets available in MASSIVE X.

Dive headfirst into MASSIVE X by picking apart some of its presets. Uncover how the sounds were made and get inspiration to create your own, by watching the videos below.

Kesselbeat

In this first video, we take a look at Kesselbeat, a rhythmic, noise-based preset that makes heavy use of a single Performer to add movement to multiple parameters.

Obstacles

Now, we look at Obstacles, which builds on the Performer-based modulation we looked at in the last video, and looks at using the voicing section, as well as the Utility insert effect.

Bottom Bump

Get to know Bottom Bump, a bass-heavy sub shaker with loads of potential for variation using the macros. Take a closer look at the Switcher LFOs, how they work, and how they can themselves be modulated for huge-sounding results.

Cloud Breaker

In the final video, we take a look at “Cloud Breaker,” a unique, evolving patch that makes creative use of the routing section, and uses the Noise Module as its main sound source.
