Sound designers, electronic musicians, producers and synthesizer enthusiasts use Massive X to create everything from aggressive basslines to evolving ambient textures.

A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionMassive X now ships with a native Apple Silicon build. To upgrade from your current Intel version, open Native Access (Native Instruments' plugin manager) on your Mac, navigate to the Massive X entry, and let it check for and download the latest version — Native Access will automatically serve the native Universal Binary to Apple Silicon Macs. After the installation completes, your existing presets and settings will carry over without any manual migration. The native build will run faster, use less CPU, and extend battery life compared to running the Intel version under Rosetta 2. If you prefer a manual approach instead, you can also re-download Massive X from the Native Instruments website and reinstall it; the installer will detect your Mac architecture and provide the correct build.
