Native Instruments (NI) has recently announced that one of its most popular synthesisers is being given a huge overhaul. Massive has been popular with my students for its huge synth sounds, simple operation, and usefulness across a range of genres.
The new version now has 125 wavetable oscillator waveforms, alongside the traditional analogue waves, and features sound effects as sound sources.

The two sets both contain condenser microphones specifically tuned to capture the drums for which they are designed: a large diaphragm for the kick drum and a small diaphragm for the snare and toms. The DrumPack Plus also features two pencil mics for overheads.
