NI Massive XL – Download Licence

Powerful filters: Discover a wide range of filters for sound shaping and experimental processing.

NEW Built-in effects: Shape, expand and refine your sound without leaving the synthesiser – including the new ‘Raum’, ‘Replika Shimmer’ and ‘Tape Wobble’ effects.

NEW Expanded wavetable and noisetable content: Over 100 new wavetables (including vintage classics, original Massive sounds and analogue-sampled ones) as well as over 100 new noisetables.

NEW Import custom wavetables: Drag and drop your own samples or sample folders to create a wavetable palette that’s entirely your own.

NEW Support for polyphonic aftertouch: Gain expressive control over every note with compatible hardware – complete with ready-to-use presets.

NEW Preset Generator: Turn any audio reference into a fully playable preset – no synthesis knowledge required, and including stem separation.

NEW Mutator and Randomiser: Quickly explore new directions with guided preset mutations or instant random module selection. Keep what you like, change what you don’t – you’re in control.

NEW Starting Templates: Skip the blank canvas with factory presets and savable curves for filters, effects and modulators.

Morpher and Animator: Shape your sound with creative shaping tools that transform expressive movements into something you can play and carry across presets.

Modulation system: Create multi-layered, expressive sounds directly within the signal flow – with drag-and-drop modulation, sidechain, envelopes, LFOs and macros.

Performer & Tracker: Transform static sounds into evolving, playable parts with sequenced, note-based or velocity-sensitive modulation.

NEW Animated modulators: Watch the modulation in real time. Each assigned modulator moves as a shape, and each control indicates how strongly it is being modulated.

NEW Drag-and-drop envelope handles: Grab the curve and shape envelopes directly by dragging handles and segments.

NEW Visible modulator information: See what you need, when you need it. Hover over a patch to view the modulators, or over a parameter to see what’s controlling it.

Compatible with Massive X: Pick up where you left off – all your Massive X presets and expansions are ready to use straight away with Massive XL.

Quick search: Find exactly what you need – via search, favourites, tags and an extensive factory library.

NEW: Preset organisation: Instead of a long list, you can sort your growing preset library into separate banks by project, genre or client.

NEW: View your Undo/Redo history: Push the boundaries without hesitation. Every edit is logged, and you can jump back to any point – not just step by step.

NEW: The help you need: Hover your mouse over an element and you’ll understand everything straight away. Thanks to explanations that appear exactly where you need them, you never have to leave the synthesiser to familiarise yourself with it.
