Create with a new level of dynamic, shifting sound, with truly flexible routing and extensive modulation
Based on the DNA of MASSIVE, built for a new decade and designed to evolve

THE (RE)BIRTH OF A LEGEND
Rethought, rewired, and reincarnated – MASSIVE X is the successor to an iconic synthesizer that helped spawn entire genres. Get everything you need to create any sound imaginable. Quickly patch complex routings to bring your ideas to life – no matter how far-out they might seem – and take things further than you thought you could with expressive, playable modulation. Think it up, dial it in, and define what the future sounds like.

MASSIVE X will grow, adapt, and evolve with regular free updates – both inspired by, and to inspire, the cultures it helps to create.

THE OSCILLATORS
At the heart of MASSIVE X you'll find the completely new oscillator section – capable of producing more variation than some entire synths, right at the source. Choose from over 170 wavetables and 10 different modes of reading them – from the aggressive Gorilla family, to a wavetable-bending mode, Hardsync, Formant, and many more – each with their own unique sub-modes and additional controls. Dial in two phase-modulation oscillators to inject extra movement into the main oscillators.

ROUTING REIMAGINED
Connect any output to any input, and see what happens. The intuitive routing setup lets you essentially rewire parts of MASSIVE X, meaning you can bypass, feedback, and send audio any way you like. It's also possible to route modulators as audio sources to excite elements such as the comb filter.

PERFORMERS: MADE TO MODULATE
Draw precise patterns of modulation in the Performer section, and assign them to parameters for complex, evolving patches, or for controlled changes to your sound. You can then use the Remote Octave control to trigger them on your keyboard, meaning you get truly playable modulation and huge expressive variety within a single patch.

MORE THAN SKIN-DEEP
Whether you're a daytime sound designer or all-night deep diver, switch to a skin that suits your workflow. Keep a little extra CPU power under the hood with stripped-back flat modes, and resize MASSIVE X to fit your studio.
