Hoping maybe someone can help... I'm having a problem where I get random sticking MIDI notes in MachFive 3. After playing the note, the key stays 'lit up' on the virtual keyboard within the MachFive window and won't go off until I reload another sound patch. I get random sticking notes whether I'm r...

There's something about that in one of the threads in this forum. I think that it will see the samples, but not the CAF files, or something like that. In other words, if I remember correctly, you will be able to use them, but you have to find them first, and they won't necessarily work exactly the ...

No-one?

Have I missed the most basic fact that MachFive2 simply won't open these files..............??

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but MachFive2 won't open any of the SoundtrackPro Apple Loops on my hard drive with the .caf (Core Audio File) extension - Garageband Loops (which are AIFFs) are fine. Apple's SoundtrackPro app is pretty good, but I decided to get back into Digital Performer (followi...

Thanks again everyone. iMas: Yes, the forthcoming "Quantum Leap Pianos" sounds very interesting... Spikey Horse: ....as does the VSL Bösendorfer Imperial! Shooshie: FYI the MacBook Pro does not have external SATA as standard, you can however add 2 ports via a PCIexpress card. I am lucky t...

Thank you Shooshie for taking the time to consolidate this 'little' debate of mine - I hope others will find your comments useful too. It was interesting to read your review of Akoustik piano, and the 'secret delight' you refer to - it's exactly this 'connection' and musical inspiration I was hoping...

Thanks Dave - I had tweaked the German Grand with a bit of convoluted reverb and EQ, and it does make a difference. I still feel that there are nuances missing - particularly the fact that striking the keys very softly doesn't sweeten the sound, and similarly giving it a good old whack doesn't resul...

Thanks again folks. It sounds like I need to buy Ivory! It's just a shame that I can't demo it....but it wouldn't be too expensive to give the 'Old Lady' a whirl. I'll contact tech support to find out which format would suit best. If it doesn't work out, then I'll have a 'basic' Steinway to go with ...

Thanks Frodo! I don't mind paying for a 'proper' VI piano - and I will have to seriously check out both Ivory and Akoustik. The problem I have, is that neither of these are available as demos (unless I'm missing something), and you really can't get the 'feel' of how they play through MP3 samples. St...

Hi everyone....new to MachFive (and a returning user of DP) following an extended break from music making with my Mac. Boy have things moved on in 7 years!! I'll probably post a few questions on these here boards while I get up and running again - hopefully all you nice folks can help me on my way. ...

Chipping in again, then I'll leave this post: v2.0.1 appears to be the medicine for my particular strain of Standalone Flu. MachFive now launches as a standalone app, although I can't comment on any other MOTU VI's 'cos I don't have them!! As a returnewbie I'll probably post elsewhere on these board...

I'm a new MachFive v2 user, and wanted to chip in - I have exactly the same problem: it won't launch as a 'stand-alone' app, but will run as a plug-in within DP! Other than that - wow! I've been 'out the game' for a while, and having been a DP user in a past life, decided to get upgraded and add Mac...
