I used it for a time...

I loved it for getting the most deranged and psychotic sounds out of it.

From DZA? Absolutely. He's like the Godzilla of DSF, just coming in and blowing fire all over the topic's rationality.

hahaa
okok so basically i know how to use OSC 1,2 +3 and the effects in them,
i know how to add the Number 5 LFO in the global tab then drag it into filter 1

from there i just mess with the effects but i always come out with similar sounding bass what ever i do?

i would like to know what the basics are and how to use them a little

You must be using the same preset patch as a starting point for everything. There are loads of them in there. Some of them are insane.

It doesn't sound like you've been using Massive for very long. I used it for the first time last week and got everything you mention in your last post from a video tutorial called "how to make dubstep bass on Massive". Early days!

There's no right way of playing any instrument. It's designed to make a huge variety of different sounds. Fiddle about with it until it does something you like and then save it or write it down.

If it doesn't do anything you like then you either have very high standards, no imagination or you need to fiddle with it some more.

use no presets.

I never came up with the same sound twice when using massive

This is the best advice anyone can give about synths. Preset patches are there to show off what the instrument can do. They're not the main attraction.

Fire up Massive, select "New Instrument", start experimenting.

1. Unclutter your GUI, and close that fucking "browser" nightmare thing.
2. Bigger resolution?
3. Upgrade to FL8, 7 is missing pattern clips, a vital ingredient of humane production.

Best way to learn massive, or any other synth, is to load up 2 channels of massive, then load up a preset you like on one, then load up the blank preset on the other and try and recreate the patch, doing it step by step on a bunch of presets pretty much shows you what everything does
