New to MOTU Machfive 3

Post by pellico »

Hi,
I'm new to MachFive 3 and wanted to know, where are the manuals? I don't see any in my disk or online? I'm trying to access the loop lab or slice feature and so far the software doesn't seem intuitive at all for the more involved features. Can anyone please help? Thanks.

The Machfive 3 crossgrade does not come with a manual; and I've received nothing directly from MOTU. I was thinking after I sent the serial number from the competing product there would be some update that I would download which contained this, but that's not the case. Certainly, if no one here has a knowledgeable answer I will contact them tomorrow.

That's very unusual, all my MOTU upgrades have come with a substantial manual. Must be something wrong, so do contact MOTU, as there are no online or pdf manuals.

Cheers

Steven,
Thanks for your response. Actually I just found the manual. I had stored it separate from the disk while doing the install and forgot it existed. Cancel the alarm. Not to get moving with it!
