Can I completely use MachFive instead of Ethno?

Hello.


I was totally delighted to discover I can access Ethno Instruments' sounds right from MachFive. The latter has the same IRCAM, and sounds as good as the original instrument itself.

So, now I'm wondering if I should delete the Ethno instances from my template and simply access Ethno from MF when needed... Since I haven't RTFM, I don't know if I would be missing any features particular to Ethno.

What do you guys think? Can I get the same from Ethno's library by using either sampler?

Yup.
You will only lose some microtonal presets.

Excellent!

Thank you for your answer.

Then I´ll keep using it from MF, and only access Ethno if I ever use the microtones.

It's funny, I did the comparison last year, which took a few hours in terms of really verifying that nothing is lost when going from one to the other (just very different presentation and organizational styles).

I decided to keep using Ethno 2 on its own though, because I almost always use the microtone scales.
