01Overview

Massive Metal Synths is aimed at keyboardists playing rock and metal. The 50 presets are built for Native Instruments Massive and cover the core sounds a heavy keyboard part tends to need: aggressive basses, lead tones for solos, pads, organ and string textures, and synth keyboard patches. Because the pack runs inside Massive rather than as a standalone instrument, it works as a starting point you can edit in the synth itself.

Leads, Basses and Pads for Heavy Keyboard Parts

The pack is organized around its sound categories. It includes 25 leads, the largest group, intended for shredding solos. There are also 4 bass presets, 6 pads, 7 keyboard patches, 5 organs and 3 strings.

The developer describes the basses as snarling and the pads as lush, and the synth stacks as sharp. These are the developer's descriptions of the presets rather than measured results, so use them as a guide when auditioning the sounds.

Because every preset loads into Massive, you can open any sound and adjust its oscillators, filters and effects to fit your track.

Requirements and Who It Suits

Massive Metal Synths is an expansion pack, so it does not run on its own. You need the full version of Native Instruments Massive 1.3 or higher. The developer notes that these presets are not compatible with NI Massive X, so check which version you own before buying.

The pack suits rock and metal keyboardists who already use Massive and want a ready set of genre-specific sounds to build parts from, rather than programming every patch from scratch.
