"MachFiive IR's" has gone away. Where is Little Bo-Peep?

Post by rbethune »

In the MachFive browser, under Soundbanks, I see all the soundbanks that came with the product and the others that I've added. However, there used to be an item there called "MachFive IR's" or something very close to that. It's gone away. Little Bo-Peep has lost her sheep and don't know where to find them. Anybody happen to know where "MachFive IR's" like to go grazing?

Do I have it right that those would be impulse reverb presets?

Bump! THis has also happened to me as of today and the installer disc is hanging so I can't install these. I'll try to get Pacifist to open the disc but at the moment I'm missing some IRs and - well, Little Bo Peep!

For future reference, here's the fix:

From MOTU.com download the MachFive_3.0.1_Installer_Mac.zip which is the FULL install of MachFive.

• Unzip the download.
• Open the resulting installer.
• Open the installer items folder.
• Manually drag the file MachFive3 IRs.ufs to your MachFive 3 Sounds folder along with the other ufs files.
• Done.


Sheep may safely graze...

I'll probably be the person needing the info someday. Strange how the IR ufs went south and the installer disc wouldn't give up the file.

Is this related to the 3.1.3 updater - I haven't yet but will in the next day or two.

I'm not sure when or why it happened. I'm only sure of how to correct it.

On a related question, I seem to have two copies of X-TremeFX.ufs. One is exactly 4.6G bytes dated Aug 31 2006 and the other is 4.53Gb dated Sept 1 2006. Is this right, or is one of these a left-over from an installation error?

Try moving the older one to the trash and running the VI. If it works you can PROBABLY empty the trash. But I seem to recall needing two ufs files for some of the plugsound VIs. I'm not at my studio for a few more days do I can't check.

Don't throw anything away, they are both needed and together they form one library!!

Thanks. Looks like only the first one mounts, and the second is an extension. Without it M5 crashes.
