Hey

Here's a few FM8 tutorials from the website.

We're working on making tutorials in video - but for now they are written tutorials with screen grabs. Tonko has done a great job with them - they are pretty indepth.

A new tutorial up today creating an acid lead sound.

This is not really an emulation of sounds made on Roland TB-303 because in FM8 this involves a bit different technique. We will use the modulator in combination with a highly resonant filter to modulate our carrier operator.

This will produce some very interesting effects which are suitable also for many other sounds not just 303 like acid synth lines.

Free NI Massive Dubstep Presets

Post by breakitdown » Mon Sep 17, 2012 12:04 pm

Hey

Not sure if i shared these here at the time - they were sent out by Native Instruments as part of the Bass Invader promotion back in July.

Anyways - they are now up on the site for free so thought they may be of use if you didn't grab them from NI's site then.

Here's the link for the Dubstep presets : http://www.massivesynth.com/members/dub ... y-dr-hobo/

Check around 2:45 on this track. Made some growl like/ dinosaur roar stuff with massive. I was going for a dark creature type growl and saw a documentary of dinosaurs today. Reminds me of a T-Rex of sorts. If that's what you're looking for than I could send you a .ksd
