  • VSL Opus 1 & 2 and Mach Five

    Any plans for compatability with Motu's MachFive? The thought of buying another plugin or going giga just makes my stomach turn.

  • Hi and welcome,

    sorry to disappoint you here. We had quite a few talks with MOTU, but so far there are still no plans to release a Mach Five version.....

    Best, Paul

  • Paul-

    Thanks for the timely info. MOTU is probably not supporting VSL so they can launch their own plug-in "Symphonic Instrument". Short sighted in my opinion. Thanks again!

  • just a few more words to explain ...
    MOTU (who have indeed been very helpfull) obviously had the impression machV works good with VSL (what might be true regarding performance, streaming, ect) but in our tests it turned up that especially the very complex performance elements literally *exploded* and would need an awfull amount of work to remap them to a usefull instrument.
    furthermore it seemed to become neccessary opening another track of development for the performance tool which was almost impossible due to the lack of free capacities.

    for those among you who might assume now that VSL maybe just didn't pay enough attention to this important platform for mac - we had a similar (if not worse) problem regarding EMU-X and had to focus on HALion and kontakt, which simply have the advantage to be cross-platform.

  • Christian-

    Thanks for the further clarification on MOTU. It's just a shame that all the Universal samplers are less than "Universal". I'm going to end up with 3 Universal samplers that are "the last sampler you'll ever need".
