How are you finding Machfive 3.

Post by ponknasty »

I just upgraded to M3 last week and so far I find it great except I would like to modulate the parameters in the Bpm drum module internally with lfo and envelopes instead of MIDI cc and the mixer is real ugly and badly laid out compared to something like Halion 4. How are you guys finding it?

I love it. I don't think it's badly laid out at all. Be more specific about what you don't like and you might get some more responses.

It's only the mixer page I find badly laid out compared to the rest of M3. Just in terms of how it uses the space. FX like EQ8 look good as it's a very visual effect and quite large but when you just use FX like plain reverb etc then there is a lot of wasted space on the page. With the space available I feel that maybe there could be effect parameters for multiple fx on the channel available like in Renoise etc. There's plenty of space available for something a bit more creative I feel. To me it just feels different to the rest of M3 especially when the Edit/Main page is crammed full of editing goodness and then when switching over to the mixer page it feels tacked on.
