  • shifting sound
  • with truly flexible routing and extensive modulation. Based on the DNA of MASSIVE

  • 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 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

  • to leads
  • pads
  • and the big bass growlers you’d expect. Use them as they are
  • to kick off your own patches
  • or to experiment and learn more about how the synth works. We’ll keep adding more with regular free library updates. The Gorilla Gang Worthy of special mention is our band of Gorilla oscillator sub-modes – King
  • Kang
