We also look at how to create a drum and synth sequence using Massive. This sound is deep! You’ll learn:

How to use modulation when designing a sound
Using tools such as external filters and compressors to bring your sound to life
Which wavetables to use when designing these kinds of sounds
Use Massive to make snares, hats and kicks
Programming chords in one instance of Massive (no keybaord needed!)

Arp’s, Drums and and beat sequences

In videos 3 and 4 we’re looking at using the drum sounds you made earlier and creating a beat! You’ll also be adding an arp and a bass sequence.You’ll learn:
