i'd like to see some really unusual.. but nice sounding patches!!

I always tend to keep things simple.. which isn't a bad thing..
but i'm curious to see how crazy it can get!

Posted: **Sun Jul 18, 2010 5:44 pm**

my question is why does the NI service center suck so many balls? i can't even update massive because of it. it is the biggest piece of shit ever.

Posted: **Sun Jul 18, 2010 5:54 pm**

1st Question > By layering all three oscillators and using the modulators on the oscillators wavetable positions, you'll achieve some pretty complex stuff. Further to this, you may want to modulate on LFO to change between shape A and shape B at the same time as getting faster and slower. Finally, chuck a delay unit over the master lol.

2nd Question > I've no idea sadly. Maybe ignore the service centre and get help from foums like this instead? Or you could use a different synth.

modulating wavetable position is sick.. I'll have to try modulating between A and B.
I just see a lot more going on in the presets that I see in my patches..
and it got me curious to see what others are doing!

i've experimented with those setting.. but what exactly are they doing? I hate messing with stuff if I don't know how it is effecting the sound.

Harpolodic - one of the most complex, but also (imo) the most beautiful preset in massive. That synth in itself inspired me to write a song for my missus

Anyone else mangles with the POS setting of the lfo modulators? i tend to do this an aweful lot...

Can someone tell me how to automate knobs so that it continues modulating through the whole sequence, instead of restarting after every note? Yes, I am using FL. Don't hate.

Posted: **Sat Mar 12, 2011 3:24 am**

there is a restart button.its exactly what it does.
