Massive 1.1 software synth

Native Instruments on Wednesday 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 complement the existing Wavescanning oscillator section with a rich additional waveform spectrum for typical analog sounds, the company said. "With pulsewidth modulation and oscillator sync, the new oscillators enable a vast range of impressive classic and modern synthesizer sounds." 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. Version 1.1 is now available as a free download for all registered users, while the full version is $340.
