Basic question about NI's Massive

Post by leao » Wed Mar 19, 2008 2:37 pm

Been using this synth for a minute now and I'm loving it, but there's one basic thing that's annoying me. Was wondering if anyone knew how to get the white highlight lines to appear when editing waveshapes, or envelope changes. I seem to be missing these highlights and after a while it makes things hard to see. Sorry if this is way random and basic. Any help?

That's the thing my friend, I have, and there just isn't anything there on something that seems so basic and part of the initial setup. I'm sure it's something very simple and it just seems that no one can help. Thanks for the advice though....

You mean this? I have just got Massive (cool prog) bu was also interested in finding out how to do that. I admit, I am super lazy and have NRTFM.

Don’t worry about people stealing an idea. If it’s original, you will have to ram it down their throats.

That's it man. Those white lines that highlight the wave forms in the performer lfo editor. They don't appear for me and I'm sure it's something simple that is escaping me.

And to the comment above, I have read the -ucking manual to find this, and I'm sure it isn't a lack of literacy that causing this to escape me....

you wanna change where those white lines are? click load curve to the left of them and you can choose their shape. if you're looking for how to get that screen up, click the green box that says 7-Performer or something like that...

No, I want those white lines to simply appear to begin with. They simply aren't there and I can't figure out if there is a way to turn then on and off or what the hell...

I can open the performer editor to change the waveforms, load diff. curves, and whatnot, but those highlight lines simply aren't there. Strangest thing...

click on the performe button on the right hand side. I just worked it out;)

It makes my bassline go shit lol. Let us know if you work out how to use it.

Figured it out! Turns out it was a graphical glitch that occurs when running Massive with Leopard. It's fixed in the 1.1.3 update. Never bothered with the update before since everything was working fine other than this small thing, but it's all good now. Thanks to those who tried to help.

I don't think there are any issues with overall functionality running Massive with Logic 8 under Leopard, as long as you have version 1.1.2 or higher for Massive and the latest updates for Leopard. The problem here was a small graphical glitch that caused the white highlight lines (that designated the top of the waves/curves in the performer lfo window and the altered lines in the envelope editor window) to be non-existent.
Everything else works, even the editing of the aforementioned areas. The lack of the highlight lines just made it a little hard to see what your're doing, but otherwise Massive has been awesome for me, running things on a Macbook Pro with Logic 8 and Leopard. So, ver. 1.1.2 runs fine despite the small glitch, and the ver. 1.1.3 update fixes it.

Press the load curve button in the top left of the performer window, it loads all the available wave shapes, select one, then click where you want to put it... simple :)
