Here are the 5 Best Massive Presets, Sure to Blow Your Socks Off

Presets are a great way to gain inspiration and discover new sounds.

Downloading presets is a lot like sampling when you think about it. You’re taking something someone else made and then are tweaking it to make it your own.

Whether you are with or against downloading/buying presets, it has become a very common element of music production.

Top artists among many different genres use presets. Of course, this doesn’t mean you should limit yourself to only USING presets. You should also take time to CREATE presets as well.

Where to buy presets

Before I get into this article. I just want to talk about the best place to buy presets.

There are many places on the web to pick up synth patches, but my favorite has to be Loopmasters. LM is kind of like the Amazon.com of sample packs and presets.

You can quickly explore the most popular packs and can read user reviews as well. They make it easy to quickly press play and hear a preview of a sample or preset pack you’re interested in.

Loopmasters allows artists and labels to publish packs on their platform. Because of this, you’ll find a HUGE variety of different sounds.

So that’s basically why I believe Loopmasters is the way to go when buying preset packs. Another nice part about it is that they accept many different currencies and automatically display a converted price based on your local currency.

Top Artist EDM Massive Patches Vol. 3

If you’re looking for a pack that takes inspiration from the sounds of top EDM producers, look no further than this preset pack.

With this pack, you’ll get 80 patches. Keep in mind that these patches will only work on NI Massive 1.3 or higher.

Inside, you’ll find basses, leads, pluck synths, and pads. All of them have custom-configured macros, so you can tweak the sound without having to dive too far into the patch.

The sounds included are based on artists such as Martin Garrix, Axwell, Ingrosso, Sander Van Doorn, Tiesto, Knife Party, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, W&W, Nicky Romero, Tujamo, Hardwell, Dannic, Dyro, Above & Beyond, Afrojack, KSHMR, and many others!

The demo loop for this song was made using only presets from this pack. The only part of the loop that wasn’t made with these presets were the drums and SFX.

Deeper Vol. 2 – Massive Presets

The second pack we’ll be talking about is Deeper Vol. 2.

I included this preset pack on this list because it has really nice sounding cinematic pads and FX. This pack is a wonderful edition to add to your collection.

You’ll easily be able to find amazing soundscapes that can be tweaked to your liking with macros. Just a few small tweaks on these patches can completely change the characteristics of their sounds.

50 high quality presets are included. They are all in .nmsv format.

Once again, you should have NI Massive 1.3 or higher to run this preset pack.
