Instruments • Re: Massive X or Twin 3

Serious question here as MX is on sale in a NI bundle for $50... I really don't want to buy it if it is not SIGNIFICANTLY higher quality than say Repro and Diva for analog emu. So is it?

I don't have time for proper demo, and recent-bias/honeymoon bias often skews my judgment.

No, analog emulation is not the forte of MX. It can do some solid sounds in that area though, but it is not instant dial in gorgeous sounds with no effort like RePro and Diva.

And depending on your use cases, you might be surprised at MX's various limitations.
No Midi Learn
No direct Parameter Automation
Doesn't support MPE, PolyAT, MTS-EPS
It has a horrid browser.

All things that RePro and Diva support and that one might not think to ask about before buying because stuff like Midi Learn and Automating Parameters are so ubiquitous that it is expected to be there.
