Mach Five version 2 Sit In

Post by Spikey Horse »

Spikey Horse invites you all to join a peaceful Sit In right HERE on this thread which is plainly visible to anyone surfing the internet and therefore the best way to get our voices (as Mach Five v1 users) heard.

So bring blankets, drums, banners, 'rollups', peace, love, some more 'rollups', biscuits, acoustic guitars, hot soup, old DP manuals for the campfire, marshmallows, Macbook pro/traveller/portable surround PA, bean bags, cake ......


"Wadda we want?

- version 2!

When do we want it?

- NOW!"


It's time for us M5 users to stand together!

:D :) :( :o 8) :shock: :P :oops: :?: :cry: :wink: :roll: :x

Great idea, Spike.
Too many M5 pressure-zones couldn't possibly be enough for some!

I believe your first guest has arrived, if you could call him that, sporting a set of congas.

I'll just sit over here by the cosy fire you've made and...
Hang on; we need some bananas to roast. :?
Hopefully Frodo brings some later, as I'll steak my left monkey-nut he'll be here.
That hobbit's an enthusiastic and veteran supporter of fruitless (yeah; bring 'em on) M5 pressure-zones.
He'll come armed to the teeth with food, pressure-strategies, M52-delay coping tips, food, anecdotes, food and kindness.
Oh, and lots and lots of food.
Hobbits and monkeys. Favourite passtime. :shock:

In the meantime, Spikey Boy, I'll be over here by the fire as I said, doing about all I've been good for for a while now.
(The ape resumes his incessant chanting, accompanied by a cacophony strangely reminiscent of African percussion...)

Go Machy! K2 Killer! Go Machy! K2 Killer!
Wadda we want? Version 2!
When do we want it? NOW!
Go Machy! K2 Killer! Go Machy! K2 Killer!
Wadda we want? Version 2!
When do we want it? NOW! :lol:

No matter how hard we strive
There's still no sign of Five
I'll use V.1 in lieu
Of waiting for Version Two

Oh, MOTU-- where art thou?

Move over guys. Give me some room on the mat.

Come on Motu the time has come to come clean.

What the hell is going on.

Native Instruments Komplete 4 is only weeks away!!!

I brought product over 18 months and was promised a free upgrade to version two !!

I purchased it after seeing the version features at NAMM.

Your company has lied and lied again to us. The time has come...

I too purchased M5 on the premiss that version 2 was soon to be released (almost 2 years now). I didn't purchase it from them, but I'm surprised more Sweetwater customers haven't "stormed the doors". I have 2 year old catalogs from them that promote the new features and free upgrade!

I have a bunch of software, and I've never seen anything like this!

interesting?

Jan. 20, 200*5* - MOTU press releases "MACH 5, v.2"(plug-in sampler)
to date...no word from MOTU on developement on release.

Jan. 19, 200*6* - TASCAM press releases "Gigastudio GVI" (plug-in sampler)
to date...Tascam's taking orders and will ship this month.

Now, I *KNOW* that I'm not comparing "apples to apples" here...there are tons of differences between MACH 5 & GVI. But I'm sure it was no small feat to get (most of) Gigastudio in to a plug-in. And I just wonder how TASCAM (non-dedicated MIDI/DAW company) was able to do it, and MOTU hasn't?

just wondering....

GVI is just a Player and offers very limited editing capabilities. Doing a player is very easy compared to a real sampler capable of real time editing of articulations and waveforms.

On a side note: they are taking orders but that's the easy part of the job, let's see when they actually release the product :-). Tascam doesn't have a very good track record of releasing Giga version on time either...

(I'm not defending MOTU for the delays, just trying to get the facts straight)

Cheers,

Maybe because MOTU is a much smaller company than Tascam but apparently has a much more software application to update every time. Fm OS9 to OSX, then fm Jaguar to Panther to Tiger to Leopard, now to PPC to Intel and probably soon to PC ... you never know :)

I agree that it's about time to see a v2 of MachFive with at least half of the features we're asking for.
"Leave the gun, take the cannolis …"

#1- MacPro-12Cores 3.3Ghz /64gig RAM/MacOS 10.13.6/DP10/VEP6/PCI-424
#2- MacPro-12Cores 3.3Ghz/64gig RAM/MacOS 10.10.5/VEP6

UAD2 and lots of software and plugs

Solo project here and on iTunes
