Massive 1 Native Instruments - Oscillators
Thick sounds for leads and bass – Massive
Massive is a synth that utilizes old school “subtractive synthesis” to create sound.
Perhaps its most intriguing characteristic is its “thick” sound.
Massive utilizes old techniques to create new sounds.
In addition, parameters like “envelope” and “lfo” are set-up in a way thats easy to use,
allowing beginners to quickly learn how to design their own sounds.
Here, we will discuss the basics of “Oscillators – OSC” in Massive.

Key point – About the Oscillators
Massive oscillators are distinct, using 2 or more waveforms.
Select a waveform in「1」, and change it in「2」.
By changing the pitch of the 3 oscillators,
you can “harmonize” or “thicken” the sound.
You can control the volume of each oscillator from the “AMP” knob on the right.
Key point – Voicing tab
You can operate many osc controls using the “Voicing tab.”

- 2_Offset pitch to create a chorus effect via “Pitch”
- 3_Spread sound right and left via “PAN”
