The deal

$29 at Plugin Boutique (down from $99), 71% off. Sale runs through August 16, 2026.

What it is

MASSIVE is Native Instruments' virtual-analog synthesizer built around a proprietary Wave Scanning engine running across three oscillators. It blends sawtooth and pulse waves with 85 wavetables, comb filtering, noise generators, and ring/phase modulation, and it's become a genre staple for gritty, powerful bass and lead sounds in electronic music.

Who it's for

Producers working in bass music, dubstep, and electro who want a hands-on synth for aggressive basses and leads, plus sound designers who like building patches from scratch rather than relying on presets alone.

Key features

• Eight macro controls let you reshape complex patches with a single knob turn
• Flexible signal routing includes feedback loops for evolving, unstable tones
• Dual step sequencers (Stepper and Performer) plus a flexible LFO section handle intricate modulation
• The library ships with over 1,300 presets built by professional sound designers
