and imports all major audio file, sample and

MachFive operates inside application such as
Digital Performer, Pro Tools, Logic Audio,
Cubase, Sonar and virtually any major
application for Mac and Windows.This
allows MachFive to be employed as a flexible,
state-of-the-art sound source directly within their projects and then save all MachFive settings with the project for instant
and total recall. Since all MachFive settings are saved with their host application session, you enjoy the highest degree of
convenience and speed because there is no separate application or associated documents to manage.

As a plug-in, MachFive displays all editing
and performance parameters in one window,
showing users everything in one glance,
without the need to flip through different
pages or dig through menus.
With unprecedented compatibility and inter-
operability, MachFive is a truly universal
software sampler. It supports every major
production platform on Mac and Windows
(MAS,VST, Audio Units, HTDM, RTAS and
DXi), so you can effortlessly move from one
platform to another —or collaborate with
those who use different audio software.
For example, a user might compose and
track a project in Digital Performer or Logic
and then move to Pro Tools for mixing. The
user would simply save a MachFive perform-
ance (a snapshot of all MachFive settings) in
DP or Logic and then load it into MachFive
running in Pro Tools. All settings are exactly
preserved, and MachFive is ready to go.
Compatible with all
Sample Libraries
◆ MachFive includes UVI-Xtract, an import
utility that allows users to audition and load
programs and samples from every major
sampler format, including Akai, Roland,
Kurzweil, SampleCell, HALion, EXS24,
Gigasampler and others.
◆ UVI-Extract even allows users to insert
sample content CD-ROMs from Roland,
EMU,AKAI and other formats into their
computer — discs that otherwise cannot be
mounted on their computer desktop — and
then convert programs (or even the entire
disc) in just a few clicks.
◆ MachFive helps users consolidate their
current sound libraries into a unified
MachFive library, instantly accessible from
within their host application.
Flexible Multi-Timbral
Performance
◆ Open as many MachFive plug-ins as the
host CPU permits. Each plug-in instance of
MachFive provides 16 parts (separate
instruments). Each part has its own unique
audio output assignment, volume, pan, etc.
Each part can receive MIDI data from any
channel and send its output to unique
audio outputs (depending on the host
audio software).
◆ Simple stacks can be created by assigning
two or more parts to the same MIDI
channel. However, MachFive also provides
Expert Mode, which lets you create
complex layers and splits that can be
dynamically triggered and modified on
the fly. Expert Mode was designed for
demanding live performance situations.
