Gliding Chords in Massive possible?

RWDD · Post by **RWDD** » Tue Jul 13, 2010 2:33 am

Is it possible to make a synth pad that glides all 3 notes to the other? Kind of hard to explain this question but the only way i've found to glide notes in massive is by turning on mono, but that obviously doesn't work with chords.

Don't think so

you could tune the oscillators to play a chord and set it to mono, but you won't be able to change the chord (unless you automate the pitch of each oscillator for each chord)

You could always sample it and pitch shift it? Or open 3 instances of massive, write each note of the chord in each one individually then automate each one individually, hell of a lot of work for something that might not even work out though...

Dunno, I'm sure there's easier ways to go about it. Just can't think of any and I'm not that familiar with massive myself. Sorry bro.

Yeah, three instances of massive would probably be the easiest method

write the chord in the piano roll, with just 1 osc, as opposed to voicing it with 3 oscillators. won't give you the same depth, perhaps, depending on your patch, but it will be easier than 3 instances of massive. gives you freedom with the chord voicings too.

however, this may not actually work. does writing the chord in the piano roll mean it is no longer "mono" voiced? hmm...

3 instances! its cool for things other than the glide too, you can pan different notes left and right, gate them seperately, loads of things.

Like this idea, never thought of this.
