The sequence of steps is very basic, but it can be applied to any pluck or chord sound in Massive. We’ll go from this: PMP DEMO Creating A Groovy House Chord Pattern - M… Share 353 Cookie policy To this: PMP DEMO Creating A Groovy House Chord Pattern - FI… Share 199 Cookie policy The bass-line pattern and a variation of the chord pattern are also covered, at the end of the post. 1) The Main Pattern We’ll use a simple one-bar pattern of voiced Minor 9th chords. Well, this is actually a half-a-bar pattern, but there is a slight difference in the length of the hits across the two half bars. While for this sound the difference is subtle, adjusting note lengths can really make a difference on the overall groove: It sounds like this: PMP DEMO Creating A Groovy House Chord Pattern - M… Share 353 Cookie policy 2) Adding Some Swing Now we’ll use one of the built-in swing preset to add a groove that we cant get with a fixed 1/16 grid. So access your Core Library in Live and from the Swing and Groove folder and Logic sub- folder select the Logic 16 Swing 60 preset, or any other swing preset that works for your track. Drop the groove preset onto your midi clip and click Open Groove Pool. Here you can play with the Global Amount. This depends on your track, but a value of 80 seemed to fit well here: It sounds like this: PMP DEMO Creating A Groovy House Chord Pattern - S… Share 137 Cookie policy 3) Massive’s Synced Delay Now we can make use of Massive’s Synced Delay effect to fit our swing pattern better in the mix. So select the Delay Synced from any of the FX slots and set the rate to 1/16 to both left and right channels. Turn the Damp and Feedback knobs to max and the Dry/Wet to roughly 25%: It sounds like this: PMP DEMO Creating A Groovy House Chord Pattern - SY… Share 134 Cookie policy 4) Some Side-Chain Compression After adding the groove effect and the 1/16 synced delay in Massive, we can use some side-chain compression. This will lower the volume of the delay effect that hits on-beat and will add something new to the main groove: Hear the difference when the side-chain compression comes in: PMP DEMO Creating A Groovy House Chord Pattern - SI… Share 131 Cookie policy 5) The Bassline Pattern The bass-line pattern follows a simple 3-notes pattern and 1-bar progression E – F# – G#: It sounds like this: PMP DEMO Creating A Groovy House Chord Pattern - BA… Share 143 Cookie policy 6) Chord Pattern Variation Here’s a variation of the chord pattern, now extended to two bars. It also moves some of the minor 9th chords in the upper octave: It sounds like this: PMP DEMO Creating A Groovy House Chord Pattern - C… Share 149 Cookie policy And here’s a different pluck sound as these steps can be applied to any sound in Massive: PMP DEMO Creating A Groovy House Chord Pattern - DI… Share 130 Cookie policy The End So there you go.
