MOTU MachFive 3 - Universal Virtual Sampler (Competitive Upgrade)

EAN: 839128005808

MachFive 3 from MOTU is a universal virtual sampler for creative music production and performance. From the configurable part list to the full-screen envelope editor, the software has been designed to enhance creativity while delivering state-of-the-art virtual instrument technology in a streamlined, efficient environment.

New features include an advanced scripting engine that not only models the sound of instruments, but adds corresponding playing techniques that allow the instrument to sound like it is performed on, rather than just a series of triggered samples. Talking of samples, 45GB of instruments, loops and phrase are available for composing and sound design.

The sampler includes 12 synthesizer engines for creating unlimited sounds which can be enhanced with effects and blended with a fully featured software mixer that supports multiple outputs. Surround sound capabilities enhance the sound designer`s palette, along with event processors, arpeggiators, and a beat slice editor. Preset searching and several dedicated editors aid in managing and creating sounds.

Products that qualify for this Competitive Upgrade include - Ableton Sampler, EastWest Play, Emulator X2, EXS24 (any version), GigaStudio (any version), HALion, Independence, KONTAKT (any version), Quantum Leap Goliath, Reason NN-XT, SampleTank, Structure

What`s New

User Interface

• Delivers configurable part list and a full-screen envelope editor, designed to spur creativity while delivering state-of-the-art virtual instrument technology in a streamlined, efficient environment
• Full-screen operation expands window to fill the entire computer monitor
• Allows for surgical precision editing, from editing a loop point, to sculpting the perfect filter envelope curve

Scripting Engine

• Scripted virtual instruments are like the difference between a simple guitar preset and a real guitar player
• The sophisticated instruments model not only the sounds of an instrument in minute detail, but also the playing characteristics
• For example, the Telematic electric guitar instrument models strumming and picking techniques, which can be dialed up as desired allowing for strumming chords with proper fingerings, up/down-strokes, and other authentic playing techniques

Instruments, Loops, Phrases

• 45GB of included instruments, loops and phrases
• Scripted instruments include the basic necessities for any studio - drums, bass, guitar, piano, and percussion
• Includes thousands of loops and phrases, from break-beats to mixed choirs
• Xtreme FX bonus library from UltimateSoundBank.com delivers 5,000 creative sound effects, Foley effects and ambient textures suitable for both music production and sound design

Powerful Synthesizer Engine

• Features 12 synthesizer engines, from modular analog pioneered in the 50`s, to milestone breakthroughs like FM and wavetable synthesis making it a powerful multi-synthesizer in its own right
• When combined with the multi-sample instrument capabilities and extensive effects, the possibilities for hybrid synthesis and sound design are limitless

IRCAM Technology

• Licensed granular synthesis, time-stretching, and pitch-shifting technology from the IRCAM research institute in Paris, France
• Granular synthesis can be seamlessly incorporated into sound design efforts, side by side with the other synthesis models
• IRCAM algorithms produce pristine audio time-stretching and pitch-shifting results, even when applying extreme tempo changes or pitch intervals
• Results that are so usable at extreme values, they can be used as powerful sound design tools

Automation and Modulation

• Almost every setting can be automated, modulated, or both
• Modulation architecture is open-ended and flexible, delivering an unlimited number of internal sources (LFOs and envelopes) and completely flexible external assignments
• Two filters, eight LFOs, six envelopes and a variety of additional modulation and filtering features are available for each MachFive object
• Making assignments is easy - just control-click
• The architecture allows for unlimited modulation connections, available at every stage of the synthesizer section
• Includes standard AHD and DAHDSR envelopes, along with multi-envelopes with unlimited control points
• Rhythmic step envelope applies discrete steps to whatever it is modulating - pitch, cutoff frequency, resonance and more
• All envelopes will sync to tempo
