Mach 5 Extreme FX Preview

[ExpressMix]

Is there a way to preview the Extreme FX before loading? I press "Play" and nothing happens.

Thanks.

Please post at least the version you're using, and preferably the OS and machine info, etc.

Sorry, Mach 5 v3. I meant to put "Mach 5" in the thread title but I assume Extreme FX only came with Mach 5. Edited.

Not sure what the machine or OS has to do with it. All of that is internal to the Mach 5 UI, the play button at the top of it for (I guess) previewing things.

Thanks.

So by lack of response I take it that there's no way to browse those FX, to hear them from the Mach 5 browser before loading a slot?

You can double click on the sound to load it and not have to go back to the main screen in M5. If you don't like to, try another. Not the most elegant solution, but once you have the sound you want, just repeat the process in a new track (slot) from the directory (sound bank) screen. Repeat.

Isn't there a "audition on load" option in M5? With loading using double click and have it set so the browser does not close after loading, wouldn't that do it?

It is strange that who either has not been reply in essence to this man (Or I missed something?).
He talked about m5p files (which contained in Xtreme FX library), m5p are not audio files and therefore its not able to preview (pre listen) in MF3 browser.


Btw, is a reasonable question. Speech about instant listening, ie access directly to waw`s, that is typical option to view full library content (incl folders, instrument files (presets) and in general wav`s of which made instruments).

Ie it would just be more convenient, particularly in the case of Xtreme-Fx, where in the main the one wav file at all instrument keygroup. But in mf3, need load entire instrument for listen this one wav. Instant access is only to drum loops.

(But I'm a also mf3 newbie yet, correct me if I'm wrong above).

Of course, it is not critical (seems the same ideology in Halion containers), but the selection process would be faster.

I have no idea what the f^&* most of that post is trying to say. If someone can translate I'll give it a shot...

Well, judging by the responses I'm not surprised.

I gather a_b is agreeing with the OP. I don't think there is an answer. How do you "preview" an effect?

Sorry, but i not quite understand question. What is "Preview" term in my mind ? Or how.

Extreme FX aren't effects, it is a sound effects library - and it is a slow and painful process to preview its presets.

Many VI's (and samplers like Kotakt) have elegant ways of auditioning sounds. Not so with M5.

So you are capable of intelligible English. It would appear we are being scammed. If not (and I apologize if offense was taken by the one possible assumption on my part) then the discussion is below my pay grade - or at least my tolerance.

If it's a sound library then the existing audition function I mentioned at the start of this exercise should work. Huh?

BTW, it's in the manual.
