MachFive 2 from MOTU delivers a new benchmark in sampling technology by merging four worlds of advanced sound design: samples, loops, synthesis and effects. Now you can import, edit, synthesize, process and play multi-sample instruments, loops and phrases in MachFive's unified, intuitive environment.
Four dual-layer, 8GB soundbank DVDs are included that contain approximately 32 GB of world-class sounds. The DVDs include a good array of multi-sample instruments, loops and phrases, including a 24-bit 96kHz 8GB sampled grand piano and the VSL™ Orchestra MachFive Edition: an exclusive collection of expressive orchestra sounds from one of the most respected names in orchestral sound libraries.
Not many samplers can match the across-the-board compatibility and interoperability of MachFive 2. This powerful sampler supports every major software instrument plug-in format platform (MAS, VST, AU, RTAS and DXi), as well as stand-alone application operation on both Mac OS X (with full Universal Binary support for G5 and Intel CPUs) and Windows (XP and Vista, 32 and 64 bit).
Mach Five 2 opens and reads all major sampler libraryand audio file formats directly - even legacy sampler discs like Kurzweil K2xxx and the Roland S-700 series. Your computer can't read these discs, but MachFive 2 can. There is no need for time consuming file format conversion. Just load presets directly from the disc. Special attention has been paid to compatibility with GigaSampler libraries, especially keyswitching and "dimensions". Open your GigaSampler, EXS24, or Kontakt instruments in MachFive 2 directly and preset characteristics such as key switch, release, and trigger-speed sample switching are faithfully preserved and ready to go.
With its simple one-window design, Mach Five 2 keeps everything in your reach, yet provides deep editing tools. Easily manage unlimited parts with unlimited keygroups and layers in a single window, using up to 256 MIDI channels and 200 discrete audio outputs (depends on host).
With unprecedented compatibility and interoperability with all major plug-in hosts, sound libraries and sample formats on both Mac and Windows, even if you use multiple platforms, hosts and library formats, MachFive 2 is worth considering.
