DJ TimesUS, 08/2007

"Massive is a fascinating synth capable of an enormous range of sounds. The modulation scheme is the best I've seen in terms of both ease and flexibility. Whether browsing factory presets or creating your own, you won't soon tire of this synth."
Electronic Musician, US, 05/2007

"Combine the sonic results with a clever and deceptively simple user interface and the hugely customisable envelopes and other modulators, and you get a synth that sets the new benchmark for virtual instruments."

"Despite the analog concept, Massive's sounds are contemporary and cutting-edge... A powerful and contemporary-sounding synth that should appeal to both beginners and experienced sound designers alike."
MusicTech, UK, 02/2007

"There's a lot to like about Massive. It sounds great and the folks at NI have managed to make it surprisingly easy to use... From now on, when I need to find a vast, expansive soundscape, bodacious bass or a razor-sharp lead, I'll be reaching for Massive."
Future Music, US, 02/2007

"I couldn't have designed a synth more to my liking than Massive... You won't find a meaner-sounding, faster-to-program, more tweakable synth. The user interface is immediately tangible; I made some of my most inspired sounds ever in my first 10 minutes with Massive."

"The sound is inspiring, and just about every feature of this synthesizer puts it way above average. The oscillators can produce a huge variety of animated tones, the filters are excellent, the voice design is powerful and innovative, the modulation sources are extremely capable, and the user interface is a joy to work with."

"Massive is a synth that offers an embarrassment of riches. Thanks to its overwhelming array of wavetable oscillators, well-thought-out modulation options and bountiful filter and effects sections, it successfully bridges the gap between instantly gratifying virtual analogues and more complex and elaborate synths like Absynth."
Computer Music, UK, 12/2006

"This is the most user-friendly version of Guitar Rig yet. The range of high-quality tones available make this the ultimate creative tool for guitarists."

"It's quite possibly the most accomplished analogue-modelled synth ever made, in that its sounds are so obese and brimming with beef that they could easily be mistaken for that of an Oberheim or Moog. But Massive isn't limited to analogue sounds, because it contains a large cache of digital-hybrid wave tables that enable you to create cutting, murderous Reeces with deadly precision... If you produce drum & bass music - buy Massive - it's as simple as that."
Knowledge Mag, UK, 12/2006

"With Massive, Native Instruments once again managed to develop a distinguished instrument that sticks out of the crowd... If you are not satisfied with the modulation possibilities of present synthesizers, or are looking for a versatile instrument with high-end sound, be sure to give Massive a try."
Professional Audio, D, 12/2006

"This unique synthesizer has its own uncompromising character that produces the most distinctive of sounds. Native Instruments create another monster softsynth in Massive and when you're struggling with ideas for your next masterpiece this could give you that all-important aspiring factor."
