Intelligent File Management
The most critical feature users need from a
sampler is easy access to their sounds.
MachFive offers unprecedented sound bank
management, helping users concentrate on
their music — not file handling chores on
their hard disk. MachFive always remembers
where sounds are located, and it has been
optimized for browsing and loading libraries.
Even multi-gigabyte libraries are quickly and
efficiently scanned.
Powerful Synthesis Engine
The central section of the MachFive window
shows the filter, three envelopes and every
modulation tool. Six filter algorithms are
provided and everything can be controlled
and automated by MIDI. Modulation options
are provided at every stage of the synth sec-
tion. The award-winning UVI-Engine that
powers MachFive delivers unlimited
polyphony and ultra-low latency.
Multichannel
Waveform Editor
MachFive accepts audio samples in all
formats from mono to 5.1 surround.The
waveform display allows truncating, normal-
izing, fading and many other destructive DSP
audio manipulations — all in real time.Users
can even set the crossfade of a loop in real
time while listening to their full mix.
24-bit 192kHz Audio
MachFive takes advantage of high definition
audio interfaces like the MOTU HD192,
allowing users to build their sound libraries at
any sample rate up to 192kHz. MachFive also
provides on-the-fly downsampling, allowing
users to build a high-resolution sample
library and use it at any sample rate that their
current project calls for, without the need for
lengthy sample rate conversion operations.
Surround-capable Sampler
MachFive is a true surround sampler. Users
can play and transpose 5.1 audio files in real
time, add multi-channel effects and route
multi-channel presets to their host software’s
mixer with multiple outputs (if the host soft-
ware supports these surround features).
Drag & Drop
Import of Samples
Users can simply drag samples from their
computer desktop or host application to the
MachFive keyboard.Users can even drag
multiple samples in one step to map into
layers or splits, chromatically, on white keys
only, according to their name,or even
according to their pitch, which MachFive can
determine automatically. Users can also
audition samples when importing them,
listening to each note as they stretch the
sample over a range of keys.
Integrated Multi-Effects
Each multi-timbral part can have up to four
unique effects, for up to 64 effects per
performance with instant recall, including
reverb,tempo-synced delay, tremolo, chorus
(and other modulation effects), filter,
BitCrusher, and others.All effects settings are
saved for total recall.Users can also save
effects with each preset for permanent storage
in their sound library. The effect section
allows users to leave a part's effects in place
while they audition other parts.
Analyze and Tune
MachFive is a one-stop sound design factory,
with tools such as a graphic spectrum
analyzer and a built-in tuner with graphic
display.When importing samples, you can
even ask it to analyze the sample, determine
its pitch and assign it to the appropriate
keymap pitch.
Modulation and Tempo Sync
Four LFOs are available per preset: two that
can be applied across a preset's entire
keygroup,plus two additional LFOs that can
be applied individually to each sample.Each
LFO can be routed to an assortment of
destinations including filter frequency, filter
resonance, drive, pitch,pan and amplitude.
MachFive can sync both the LFO and effects
parameters to sequence tempo.
