Dear MOTU friends,
I looked for an answer in the forum but it seems there is any (anyway 23854 topics are a great number to look into ) .
I'm sorry if it has been already answered, in that case could you point me to the correct thread?
I do need to open with DP9 and Mach Five 3 some old DP projects with Mach Five 2 in it (without Mach Five 2).
I mean, I have these projects I have to use again, they were created with DP7 and Mach Five 2.
I've tried to open them with DP9 and Mach Five 3 and I hoped they were converted automatically to a project with Mach Five 3 (instead of MV2), but they don't.
I've also tried with DP8&Mach Five 3 (on a second startup partition with MacOS 10.8.5) but the problem is the same.
At the old times I didn't save any Mach Five 2 multi so I can't load them from scratch in MV3 (Mach Five 3 opens any Mach Five 2 instrument with no problem).
Is there any way to "force" DP9+MV3 to open those old DP7+MV2 projects?
Am I doing something wrong?
Needless to say, I have no more DP7 nor Mach Five 2.
Any help will be appreciated.
I thank you all in advance.
Ale

I believe M5-3 is quite different from ver 2. You should be able to load patches but not multis. I believe you'll have to recreate those.
Re: Open Mach Five 2 projects with Mach Five 3
This may not be useful to you as you no longer have Mach5 2, but if you could somehow get a version on your computer, Mach5 2 can run using '32 Lives'. You could then save the Performance multi; from what I've read Mach5 3 should be able to read Mach5 2 saved multis.

Ty for your replies guys!
I confirm, MachFive 3 opens with no problems any kind of MachFive 2 files (patch & multi).
Anyway, after a long search into my furnitures, I luckily found my old installer DVDs of MachFive 2.02 (thanks to my habit of not throwing anything, despite my wife's desires ).
So I'm going to install MV2 and DP8.07 on my secondary MacOs 10.8.5 partition (where there's also PT10 I use to "recover" the old PT/SDII projects).
I'm going to open those old DP projects with DP8/MV2 in 32bit mode, save multis (with patches and samples to be sure ) and reopen them in DP9/MV3.
I'll let you know how it goes.

Dp 8... hmmm, haven't thought about that in a long time. Pretty short lived in my studio. DP 9 is humming along. Ooooops! Gotta change my sig...
