Hey Bret, watched all 8 parts of this and was amazed at how flexible this groovebox is and thanks very much for sharing your knowledge and ensemble. After i messed about with your preset i tried to start from scratch just loading up a massive but it doesn't play. Then i try to connect a snapper and there is no where to plug it in. Can you point me in the right direction? Thanks, man.

@meangene408 Hey there, thanks for watching. When you say you started from scratch, do you mean you reloaded Massive itself? (Also, there's a tutorial on Snapper on the website if that helps—can't include links in YT comments but if you visit BW you'll find it on the first page.)

does massive come with Reaktor 5?

[bkallmer]

@rossofett Yeah, Massive and a ton of other cool ensembles...

i have had Reaktor for about 5 years, and i have never known this powerful ensemble was in there. wow!. thanks. the ensembles get so complicated i never have time to understand them.

@daflashman123 I know, each ensemble is like a universe unto itself. It always amazes me.

My favorite part of this ensemble is the random morphing crossfader. Biggest con .map format limited to 127 samples. Hard when you have giant sample library. Id love to see it with 16 slots and grain delay on all slots. I gotta dig in one day and figure it out.
