MachFive v1 and v2 can co-exist both as plug-ins and stand-alone applications, as the MachFive 2 installer doesn't touch MachFive 1 files or sound libraries. If you've never owned or used the original MachFive (v1, which was Power PC-only) you can skip this bit, which covers how the old and new versions co-exist and the compatibility between them.

In these cases it seems to be the iLok copy protection that id causing the problem, and it can be fixed by installing the latest Mac Interlok extensions (which can be found at and then restarting your Mac. After letting it do its thing, you should be good to go.Ī few users have reported MachFive 2 installations that fail to run as stand-alone applications or to instantiate in DP. Unlike the original MachFive, they can go anywhere on any drive available to your Mac, and as they amount to over 30GB of data that's probably a good thing! The installation of the application and plug-in files is then completely straightforward: you just run the installer, and there's not even a 'Custom Install' option.

You also get a printed manual that covers all plug-in formats and both Mac and PC platforms. Regardless of whether you've bought MachFive 2 as a retail package or as an upgrade from version 1, you'll discover that it's supplied on a CD containing the stand-alone application and plug-in installer, together with four DVDs of sound library files. This will prove useful, hopefully, for both new and prospective users looking to get to grips with this very deep and capable sampler. In the meantime, I've got my hands on a copy, so here's a first look at how MachFive 2 integrates with DP5. MachFive 2 boasts a flexible specification and is designed to work smoothly in DP5.In last month's Digital Performer workshop article I previewed MOTU's MachFive 2, which was announced in July after a very long gestation period (it was first demo'd at the 2005 NAMM show). We take a look at how MOTU's new MachFive 2 sampler integrates with Digital Performer 5, explore a DP plug-in that makes it easier to work with MIDI controllers, and round up the customary batch of news and tips for DP users.
