Wobble automation. I'm having a tough time finding any decent tutorials on waveforms 'n shit.

for wobble automation, route your audio to filter 1 and set it to lowpass, either lowpass 2 or lowpass 4, you decide. Then on the cutoff knob, drag LFO number thing in the tab up into one of the dark squares under the cutoff knob. Now click and drag that dark square which should now have a number in it untill a circular line surrounds the cutoff knob. Now edit the LFO settings and you will have wobble.

And I'm sorry if my instructions are wrong, I am not a massive user and never have been. I've tried the demo before and I am recalling this information from then.

Thanks for the info man. My problem is, I have these presets but I'm tweaking them and what not. I guess my problem is as much with automation as it is with the waveforms.

thats the biggest reason why I don't use massive is because you don't see the waveforms and therefore don't know how they work. I can't help on that one.

I'm confused by such a notion. Heard of your ears? (pun intended)

ociffer - you've asked a question that has been answered a billion times. Learn 2 search.

OP, there is this site called Youtube, you might have heard of it. It's usually good for these kind of things.

With waveforms like modern talking who needs to learn synthesis?

With the waveform stuff, that's probably the only downside to massive. You cant't see it. But just play with the WT knob while you are playing a note and listen to the changes...

imo this is far better than looking at the waveform, which really tells you nothing except what frequencies are being hit. And really, that means shit all if you're not listening.

Idunno bout you, but I'd like to know more about my sound than what it sounds like. I like to know how my sound works.

If it's really that important - it's called a spectrum analyzer.

good point, I'm still not satisfied, though. thats just me.

you cant find tutorials on massive? Its probably the most covered synth on youtube as far as tutorials go...

seems like massive threads are the big thing lately.

I know, it`s becoming lame.
Or has been for a long time I guess.

I`m starting the next Oatmeal fad.
All about the lumpy porridge imo.
