Mutating Sequences Live with Massive in Kore
The Massive synth fits into Kore 2 and the Kore controller like a hand in a glove. Well, maybe more like a fist in a glove. It’s a combination of sound quality and tactile control that, in my humble opinion, moves plugin synthesis out of the shadows of hardware VAs and into the limelight.
One of the most instantly gratifying things you can do with this combo is to control sequenced Massive patches, manipulating the macro controls in the Massive synth. This can create entire song arrangements on the fly – dropping elements in and out and crossfading rhythms. There are a few tips and tricks that will help you get the most out of this dynamic duo and that’s what I cover in this screencast. Ed.: And as I will cover later today, you can control those macro knobs easily not only with the Kore controller but, as of 2.0.4 and later of the Kore software, any MIDI controller. -PK

Here’s the Koresound I used in the screencast, with the Kore 2 controllers mapped to Massive’s macro controls.

There is also the easy option of switching from the USER control page to the PLUGIN control page to have Massive’s macro controls mapped to the Kore controller. THen you also have quick access to other parameters in Massive, such as Massive’s FX, Filter, or Envelope sections with a touch of a button.

Thanks Sowari!
Matt – this is true – however, using the plugin pages gives you unhelpful names in Kore for the macro controls like mc1, mc2 etc. I’d rather map things manually and have names that reflect the actual use of the controllers. As a bonus, you only have to do this once – then loading another preset within the Massive Koresound template will rename the macro controls on the user page to reflect their names as used in the Massive preset. It comes down to personal preference – I like seeing descriptive names in the hardware Kore controller so I don’t always have to look at the ol’ laptop.

I love the attitude “here at noise pages we usually open a can of rocket science on your ass” I mean.. how can you beat that?
