CFA FE-1 Beats & Bytes: 100 Massive Presets for House and Electro

Resonance Sound says the pack covers three areas: bass sounds, beats and sequences, and synth sounds. The bass patches are intended for driving electro and house grooves, while the sequences suit minimal arrangements where rhythm carries most of the track.

The 100 presets are sorted into categories, so you can narrow the list to the type of sound you need before auditioning. Because the pack is organized this way, it works as a starting point for building a track's sound palette rather than a single sound to be used on its own.

Each preset has complete macro-control allocation, which means the macros are mapped across the full range of the patch. Macros let you adjust several parameters at once, which is useful when you want to change a sound's character quickly during a session or while performing.

The pack requires Native Instruments Massive version 1.13 or higher. It is not compatible with Massive X, so you need the original Massive synth to load these presets.
