But top producers ( Garrix, Walker, Hardwell, ... ) use Sylenth1 and Nexus. Da werden die schon ne schoene Wuchtbrumme mit Massive X gezimmert haben um sich den markt … Posted by 3 years ago. Close. omnisphere 2 or Serum. Hi all, With myself working from home I've saved a lot of money on travel and whatever else and want to use it to buy a synth VSTi. And what’s more is that Serum’s FX seem to be more customisable – for example, the Distortion unit in Serum can do the same as the Distortion, Bit Crusher and Sample + Hold combined. Serum all the way. In the video below, MusicRadar pits Massive X against a worthy competitor, Serum, comparing the features and capabilities of these two soft synths side by side. Sylenth1 vs Serum vs Spire vs Massive vs Nexus. With Native Instruments finally dropping Massive X after over a decade since the first version, it’s not hard to imagine that many folks were quick to wonder how it compares to that other studio mainstay - Serum. Hands-on demo - Massive X vs Serum. Every time I open Massive I'm just lost with what to do and end up with preset patches that I minorly tweak, but with Serum was so much easier to pick up and learn from day 1.

I'm looking at Massive and have heard about Serum also. The Serum factory presets aren't that great, but remember that Massive has been out for 12 years and Serum has only been out for 4(?) Since Massive launched in 2007, playing a key role in the development of bass music, numerous high-profile rivals have equalled and even bettered it, chief among them Xfer Records’ more modernistic Serum. There are very few reasons I can think of to go with Massive (massive preset choice and 'tried and true' wavetables being the only ones that spring to mind).


While Massive X certainly seems to have a greater number of unique FX (and Serum sticks to the basics), Massive X is limited in the number you can use.

With this said, Massive X is an immensely robust synthesizer, and there’s no limit to how it can be explored. Massive ist wirklich uralt, Serum nicht. I find it a lot harder to program Massive to do what I want because of its limitations, whereas with Serum, there are plenty of modulators.

Massive does have some advantages, but I find Serum sounds better without you having to do a lot. I've always despised how Massive sounds here. and why ? Hands-on demo - Massive X vs Serum. all are effective too, in terms of the EDM genre, but out of the 3, my choice would be Serum. I was heading towards Serum but I hear so much good stuff about Omnisphere 2 that I am also considering this as an option. 11. It depends on you and what genre or type of sound design you’re closely tied with. I've made many patches I'm happy with that started with an Init preset. Massive sounds just about as good as Serum, but Serum is just so much easier to use and it's GUI is an entire generation better than Massive. What synth do you use ? Obviously there is quite a big price difference (and omnisphere offers a lot more) so I want to be sure the extra is worth it.
