So with this patch, I was really trying to use that to break apart the transients a little bit and create something that’s not super static. The thing I really like about Massive X is that it has ridiculous amounts of cross modulation capability – you can generate some really wild, chaotic elements with that. Let’s start with the patch itself – what did you set out to achieve with it? Listen to AYA demo the patch below, download it for yourself, then read on to find out how it was made and take an exclusive look into her sound design process. The result, 2020 coldest champion, is a masterclass in efficient patching, turning just a handful of well-chosen modulations into a dramatically morphing patch that flip-flops between plastic-sounding plucks and lush, detuned brass pads without ever becoming too unruly. We recently got in touch to ask AYA if she’d lend her synthesis talents to our Patch and Play series, providing an exclusive preset for MASSIVE X.
