A boy can dream... can't he?
Of course, it's all guessing until the Instruments seminar/demo tomorrow for sure, but the fact they're using a little .jpg of Machfive makes me think it's not dead. So no Camel Audio Alchemy scenario which is cool. At the very least Falcon gives non DP users an option, and even though I like Falcon I would be happy to see MachFive in DP for sure. 8)

Maybe MachFIVE will be half of DP TEN? The math sort of works.

Nobody at NAMM this year? DP9 Deep Dive seminar is going on right now, and I'm sick with curiosity?

I asked UVI if they still develope software for MOTU and if there will be an update for MAchFive. I received this answer from UVI:

We no longer develop for other companies. I would suggest you contact Motu for further information as I cannot speak for them ;-)

Please let me know if you have any more questions.
All the best from UVI,
Support Team


Ofcourse I didn't get any reaction at all from MOTU (no suprise, as always) as I asked them the same question...

No mention of Mach5 during the Deep Dive (9.02) session with Matt Lupont today. I didn't stay for his DP instruments talk. The efficiency improvements are not arriving in rev 9.02, but in a later update.

Did you get a sense as to what the efficiency updates meant...a 9.xx update or a DPX update?

Still not understanding what LUF is as nothing on the page linked to seems to explain it.

Update in tech world generally means a non paid release, upgrade is the commonly used term when you can expect to be charged for the next version.

I did get charged once $25 for an update to Logic 7, as it was sent out on DVD only...

Thanks for the explanation. Have been to Luxembourg on business back in the late 80's - nice country with some great food and people.

Thanx Mike. I should have clarified. It almost sounded as if it was part of a DP 10 upgrade. Either or, these improvements are very exciting!

You were clear, you must have missed that MOTU have consistently called this an update, indicating that it's not going to be a paid upgrade to a new version. That's what I was trying to explain. :)
