Can M5 SparkVerb be used as a reverb plugin in DP?

Post by MartinBaird »

Forgive me for such a basic question as I'm new to MachFive.
Is it possible to route audio through MachFive in realtime to take advantage of SparkVerb within a DP8 project? Meaning could I load up MachFive on an Aux track and have it give me a reverb only output for my mix?
Thanks for any help.

No, audio in to M53 isn't possible. I would love to see it though, for the reverb and filters.

Well here's hoping a future upgrade would include the ability to use MachFive as an effects plugin on live/real time audio! That would be a great value enhancement to an already excellent product. Aside from SparkVerb there are so many other cool effects that could be implemented.
Thanks for the replies.

I wonder if an AUNetSend / Receive pair would work? Put the Send in DP and the Receive in M5 standalone. Put Spark after the Receive. I'm away from my audio Mac for a couple of weeks, but I'll try it later if no one else does first.

Looks like I can no longer load these AU plugins in 64 bit apps. I'll do a little digging and see what options there are.
