Orchestral Collection

Post by BERLY »

Hi,
I've an old Prosonus Orchestral Collection that I love very much.
Unfortunately, it seems that M5 doesn't read the .iso files anymore.
Is there a tip to convert the .iso file into something that M5 would recognize?

Thanks, best regards

Did it ever? .iso isn't in the supported list for MachFive3

.iso files are normally disk images that are backups of optical media. Your libraries should be in the file, not the file itself.

Normally, one double-clicks on an .iso file to mount it. Once mounted, you should see your libraries and can drag them to a folder. Now, if they are supported by MV3, you should be able to point its browser to them and they should load—assuming that they're a supported file type.

If that doesn't work, the file extension may be wrong. If so, you need to know the correct extension. Both Mac and Windows can batch-convert file extensions in the OS if that's what is needed.

If the actual files are a type you don't recognize, perhaps someone here will.

Yes it did work.
Mojave don't open nor mount it.
But it works again now. I've simply opened it in M5 standalone, and then I was able to open it again inside DP.
I don't understand why, but so far, it works.
Thanks
Best regards,
Christophe
