How Massive helped Johnny Gorillas shape two creative worlds – Native Instruments Blog

Even now, when Massive isn’t always the first thing I reach for, that foundation is still present. The sounds I build for mono sky,  evolving chords, atmospheric textures, and constantly shifting timbres,  all benefit from years of learning how to create and control movement in Massive. And for Johnny Gorillas, Massive (and now Massive X) still provides quick, high-quality building blocks I can adapt easily because I know how the instrument behaves.

So even indirectly, Massive has contributed a lot to how both projects sound today.

Pro tip from Johnny Gorillas: Learn one synth deeply. That knowledge transfers to every other synth you use later.
