01Overview

Massive X Expansion - 140 Bass is a sound pack from Native Instruments for its Massive X synthesizer. It includes 50 presets designed for producers working in the UK bass styles named in the product, including grime, dubstep, UK garage and 2-step. The presets run in Massive X and in the free Massive X Player, so you can load the sounds without owning the full synth. The pack is a good fit if your bass work centers on heavy, forward low-end and you want a starting point in Massive X rather than building every patch from scratch.

03In depth

Bass Sounds for UK Bass Genres

The pack is organized around bold bass tones for grime, dubstep, UK garage and 2-step. Native Instruments describes the presets as bold, and the genre list gives a clear sense of where they fit: aggressive, mid-forward basses for grime and dubstep, and rolling or sub-leaning lines for garage and 2-step.

All 50 presets are made for Massive X, so they use the synth's own engine, modulation and effects. You can treat each one as a finished patch or as a base to shape further with the synth's controls.

Using the Presets in Massive X

Because the presets load into Massive X, you can edit oscillators, filters and effects after loading. This makes the pack useful both for dropping in a ready bass and for studying how a strong bass is built inside the synth.

The pack works with Massive X Player as well, so a collaborator or a client who only has the free player can open the same sounds.
