Font not showing up in certain windows

Post by ptbeach »

I'm a MachFive newbie. I just installed MachFive 1.2.3 (using DP 4.6.1) and the sounds work fine, but I can' see any words in the small windows in the File Browser and Parts Section. The drop down menus are there with the sounds, but the little windows won't show the preset sounds that I choose. Have I inadvertantly selected a font that matches the background so that I can't see the font? Any ideas.

Go to MOTU's site and download the most recent updates for Mach Five and install. I recently had this problem also, and that took care of it. Make sure you get the most recent versions.

Font problem

I also had the same problem.

The 1.2.3 update doesn't seem to delete and replace the old MachFive bundle (Library->Audio->Plug-ins->MAS->MachFive MAS.bundle). You have to FIRST DELETE THE OLD FILE "MachFive MAS.bundle" (ver. 1.2) then re-run the 1.2.3 updater. Voila! The new file will say it is ver 1.2.3.

Happy sampling! And Happy New Year!

Sorry, I forgot about that. This is correct!

Ditto - same problem here. Just in case anybody else runs into this, the above worked just fine (running OS 10.4.4 & DP 4.61).
