Native Instruments Releases Massive 1.1
February 8, 2007
Native Instruments today released Massive 1.1, a new version of its
next-generation software synthesizer. The update expands Massive's
high-resolution synthesis engine with versatile Virtual Analog Oscillators
and a distinctive new filter model, and adds a wide range of other
improvements to the KORE-enabled flagship synthesizer.
The new Virtual Analog Oscillators in Massive 1.1 complement the existing
Wavescanning oscillator section with a rich additional waveform spectrum for
typical analog sounds. With pulsewidth modulation and oscillator sync, the
new oscillators enable a vast range of impressive classic and modern
synthesizer sounds.
The new "Acid" filter is modelled after a famous monophonic bass
synthesizer, and expands the sonic spectrum of Massive with characteristic
biting leads and squelchy bass sounds, bringing the total number of
available filter models up to twelve. Furthermore, the new "Hardclipper"
effect adds an especially radical flavor of distortion to Massive's
versatile arsenal of high-quality effects.
Massive 1.1 also includes additional wavetables and noise oscillator modes,
a new randomize function for envelopes and modulators, and a wide range of
usability improvements, as well as an expanded sound library with over 140
additional presets.
The 1.1 update for Windows and Mac is now available as a free download for
all registered users of Massive on the NI website.
A new Massive demo based on version 1.1 is now also available for download
on the NI website.
