Oscillators – Massive’s sound source
This is Massive’s sound source and the starting point for designing any sound you can think up. With 3 Oscillators containing over 80 wavetables along with the noise generator, Massive’s sound sources are a mountain to climb!
In this video we break down each knob on the OSC panels; give you a solid intro on how to use wavetables; and, show you how to manipulate them to make those sounds in your head a reality. You’ll also start to get an understanding of modulation and get tips on how to use the Noise Generator and Feedback module.
It’s an extreme journey into Massive’s Oscillators that will literally jump-start your ability to create those brain-bleeding sounds Massive is so famous for.
Filters – The key to sound shaping
An introduction to Massive’s filters. This video lays the foundation for shaping your sound sources through Massive’s filters – the key to sound design. Starting with a basic overview of the filtering concept, we walk through each of Massive’s 12 filters and how they affect your sound. You will learn about serial and parallel routing and how to route different OSC’s through the filters in various combinations.
If you’re ready to see just how filters can change the character of your sounds from a dull thump to a bright screaming lead – watch and learn!
LEARNING MASSIVE NEEDN’T BE COMPLICATED
Massive is one of the flagships of a new generation of wavetable based synthesizers that make it easier than ever to create room-thumping, brain-bleeding sonic blasts. The problem is there are so many choices in how to shape sounds even the most experienced producers find it hard to make the best decisions.
We’ve got you covered. Our world-class video tutorials will make you cool and confident as you take simple, powerful steps to build the sounds you hear in your cranium.
Each knob, oscillator, control, effect, filter and more is broken down into easy to follow instructions that get you up to speed fast. Rather than months and years of endless trial and error, you’ll be up and running within hours! Your music will be built on a solid foundation, and you’ll be light years ahead of other producers.
” The course was great….very well presented and informative; I feel that I know my around Massive now.
Envelopes and envelope modulation – express yourself!
At a basic level, envelopes control the attack, decay, sustain and release, or ADSR phases of a sound. In practice, these parameters add staggering scope for expression, flexibility and movement in your sounds and can be applied to just about any knob in Massive. In this video you will see how to use Massive’s modular set-up to create, save and load envelopes and assign them to control other parameters.
Using these insights you will be able to design and exploit the kinds of complex envelopes that form the core of evolving sounds. Whatever style you’re working with, advanced understanding into envelope modulation will take your tracks to new heights.
Modulation – Master the LFO, Stepper and Performer
In this video we go deeper into modulation and sequencing with LFO’s and LFO Modulation plus the Performer and Stepper. You will get to know the 3 types of modulator in Massive, the difference between them and how to assign them. You’ll also learn how to activate glide sequences and discover Massive’s hidden modulator. We’ll show you to create sequenced sounds with performer and create stepped modulation with the stepper – perfect for ‘arp’ effect on pitch or sharp control of knobs.
With so much to cover, this video demonstrates the very features that make Massive so powerful and will give you the techniques to create extraordinarily awesome wobbles, sharper leads and ridiculously heavy bass sequences.

” Thank you very much for these videos. Worth every penny!
Central window tabs – take control!
This video covers the tabs in Massive’s centre window including the Oscillator Tab, Key Tracking Oscillator, Key Tracking Filter, Voicing, Routing Tab and Global Tab.
There are some extremely powerful tools hidden within these tabs that allow you to quickly morph and blend bigger basses, add stereo width, control the position of feedback, bypass and OSC’s, or even randomize everything with a single click. This video will inspire with so many tips and tricks to experiment with.
Insert FX – internal sculpting
How to use Insert FX to shape your sounds and apply them through the centre window tabs including the routing tab.
After a walkthrough of Massive’s 8 Insert FX you will learn how to activate Insert FX in combination with feedback at different locations in the signal flow can literally smash your patch.
These techniques make it easy to add an old skool feel, create screeching basses or add a driving distortion to your sounds.
TOP DJ’S PLAYING YOUR TRACKS!
Imagine the gorgeous melodies, creamy pads, heart-stopping breaks, and soaring leads you’ll be able to produce when you finally get a full understanding of Massive’s power. You know you have the talent. It’s just a matter of familiarizing yourself with all the controls and effects to harness the horsepower under the hood.
Once you’ve gained the knowledge of how to best put Massive to work, you’re only one track away from gaining the respect of the top DJ’s and producers on the scene. Just think of a huge mass of club-goers, writhing and rocking to your music. The ground is shaking, lights are spinning, the speakers are almost falling off the wall. Beautiful people have their hands in the air.
And you’re the one making it all happen.
” As for the video content, as a user of Massive for around 4 years (all self taught), I am thoroughly impressed so far.!
Master FX – Control the output
The Master FX and EQ modules are the place to go to fine tune and shape your sounds. Using the skills in this video you will be able to build and modulate FX chains and learn how the Master Effects at the end of the signal chain give you tight control over the entire output.
Hear when and how to use EQ, how to warm the final track up with one of three tube-emulators, or add even more distortion for some real grit. With expert application of delays, reverbs, chorus, flangers and phasers you’ll be creating sounds your ears have never even heard before in minutes.
Sidechain – complex modulation
Unlike the sidechain you are probably familiar with, this Massive feature isn’t about compression. Side chain modulation is quite complex, in fact it’s a mind bender just explaining this function, which modulates the modulation of a modulator. Totally confusing, but extremely useful for added command over your modulation assignments.
This video demystifies how to apply side chains to control multiple modulation sources at once. A must watch for music producers wanting to get hugely complex sounds under control.
