MOTU MachFive 3 Creative Universal Software Sampler, Box

Within minutes after you begin MOTU's MachFive 3, you'll appreciate the years of user interface design and engineering that have gone into this 3rd-generation release.

From the configurable part list to the full-screen envelope editor, MachFive 3 has been designed to deliver state-of-the-art virtual instrument technology in a streamlined, efficient environment.Compared to a typical software instrument, MachFive's scripted virtual instruments are like the difference between a simple guitar preset and a real guitar player.

MachFive's sophisticated instruments not only model the sounds of an instrument in minute detail, but also the playing characteristics.

For example, MachFive's included Telematic electric guitar instrument models strumming and picking techniques, which you can dial up as desired.

Imagine strumming chords with proper fingerings, up/down- strokes, and other authentic playing techniques.MachFive's signature scripted instruments give you realistic core instruments that are basic necessities for any studio: drums, bass, guitar, piano, and percussion.

It also includes thousands of loops and phrases.

From break-beats to mixed choirs, MachFive's Biosphere™ further broadens your sonic vistas with rich synth textures.

The Xtreme FX bonus library from UltimateSoundBank.com gives you 5,000 creative sound effects, foley effects, and ambient textures suitable for both music production and sound design.From modular analog pioneered in the 1950s to milestone breakthroughs like FM and wavetable synthesis in the decades that followed, MachFive 3 delivers twelve synth engines that make it a powerful multi- synthesizer in its own right.

When combined with MachFive's multi-sample instrument capabilities and extensive effects, the possibilities for hybrid synthesis and sound design are limitless.
