MachFive status: working well?

Post by jloeb »

I'm considering finally upgrading from (old, old)) MachFive v2 to v3 which has generally been very well reviewed and packs a ton of fantastic features BUT:

What's your opinion on how it's working these days? Smoothly? Glitchily? Any recurrent problems? Any problems running alongside Kontakt 4/5 in the same session?

No problems here - Mac OSX 10.9.1.

I use Mach5 for my live keyboards and it has been flawless - everything loads very quickly, consistently.

For a more creative situation, the only bummer used to be that zooming in on a waveform needed a scroll wheel mouse - I couldn't zoom with my Macbook. But, that since has been resolved.

I have had no issues with stability though. Great tool.

I have never used it along side Kontakt, but have with NI Massive - no issues there.

Never a problem for me. Really great software; I feel like I've only scratched the surface.
