Stand alone??

[tdblanchard]

i just bought mx4 (killer deal at guitar center!!!)
my question:
i also ordered DP 4.6 and haven't received it yet.
it probably won't come until next week.
is it ill-advised for me to install mx4 before-hand?
and can i just play it as if it were a stand alone synth?

It won't hurt to install it, but you can't run it stand alone. You need an AU host. There are some free ones out there that will give you instant gratification. I can't remember the names exactly. Of course Garage Band will work too.

man, am i glad i did!
that synth kiks some arse!
i'm not much of a sound architect (not since my music synthesis classes at berklee circa '89!), but this thing really puts it all right in frint of you!
right "out of the box", you're hit with some majorly cool sounds..
just thought i'd rave a bit!
tonight i'll do the tutorial.....

Hey man, "out of the box" is indeed cool, but do cop the free upgrade to MX4 v2.0 on MOTU's site, if you haven't already. I, too, took advantage of the v1.x deal at GC, and 2.0 it a whole 'nother animal

2.0.....
good stuff.
