Forgive me if this has been asked often.

Can DP allow an audio track to choose Mach Five as a destination, or can Mach Five provide a port to run an audio track through it (allowing the track to act as a single sample) then run it through some aspects of the DSP, effects, etc.) ?

I don't think M5 has a audio input and as such cannot be used as a plugin in that sense. It doesn't "record" audio, only plays it back and manipulates it.

Thanks. Seems like it could be an interesting platform for sound design- with the ability to stream audio through certain parts of it-- though I can see how it could be problematic.

With the Kurzweil K2500 & K26xxx live mode, they did a clever thing with taking the sampling inputs and calling them a keymap-- now you play any note and it transposes the input by the key-offset amount (mid-c is no transposition, but that can be shifted). It starts envelopes based on key starts, and it does some time manipulations based on a couple of tricks (like crossfading and arpeggiation). Works pretty nicely, but I could see it being a can of worms.

FYI MOTU's MX-4 can process live audio if memory serves. I've never tried it but there is a control for live audio on the GUI.

MX-4 is still 33 bit so if you have it you'll need to run DP 8 in 32 bit mode until a hopes for update.

I've used my K2500 in live mode - once you get the setup done it works pretty well. It makes a nice outboard fx unit with some very cool capabilities!

33 bit? They're getting closer.
