Sound Categories and Character in This Techno Preset Pack

The pack is organized into seven groups. Basses make up the largest share, with 27 heavy and driving presets. Synth sounds account for 24 presets, plucks for 13, and modular-style sequences for another 13.

The developer describes the atmosphere sounds as dark and cinematic. Pads are described as lush and deep, and the pack also includes three creative FX sounds. Together, these categories cover the core elements of a techno track, from the low end to the top-level melodic layers.

Macro Control and Workflow with Massive Techno Presets

Every preset has full macro control allocation across all eight macro controllers. This lets you adjust several parameters at once and shape a patch without digging through the synth's menus.

The presets are sorted in categories, so you can find a bass, pluck or pad by type. The pack requires Native Instruments Massive v1.5.1 or later, and the presets are in the NI Massive Presets format. They are not compatible with NI Massive X.
