Super helpful explanations to make your own patches
This was an awesome tutorial! He explains why he modulates certain things and what the effects are supposed to do for the patches. And then has great examples of how to use those sounds. I only wish there was more!

Excellent course.
The teacher gives very precise yet deep explanations on how he creates the sound, giving us insights of how the inner mechanics of Massive X works, while staying always on point with the tutorial. The pace is perfect, allowing you to follow in real time with a massive x instance aside, sometimes just pause the video to process the technical explanations. That was a very interesting course, I learned a lot about Massive X.

Excellent Presentation
I have only one recommendation. I think thatThomas speaks just a little to fast. If he could just speak a little more slowly it would make his presentation absolutely perfect.
