List Editor

MachFive’s List Editor is the perfect antidote for those of us who get a little, well, “OCD” in the heat of the creative moment. It presents a clear, well-ordered representation of your MachFive sounds, with every detail dutifully listed for careful inspection and tweaking. The List Editor is definitely a left-brain tool, the perfect complement to MachFive’s plentiful right-brain graphic editors.

Effects Rack

MachFive gives you an extensive and flexible effects architecture. You can apply unlimited effects in real-time at all levels, from individual samples to your entire mix, with instant recall of all settings. 47 real-time effects are included, such as reverb, tempo-synced delay, tremolo, chorus, filters, guitar amp simulation, CPU-efficient convolution reverb, and many others. Effects can be applied to presets as insert effects, essentially as a component of the sound itself, or throughout MachFive’s extensive mixing architecture (as bus effects).

Performance View

Keyboard synths have come a long way over the years. But nothing like this. Granted, MachFive has an unfair advantage, as it brings to bear all of the resources of your entire computer: memory, CPU performance, disk space, and a large screen. Then there’s the Performance View, which turns MachFive into an expressive, multi-layered instrument that dynamically responds to key switches from your MIDI controller, giving you unprecedented dynamic control over switching, layering, and blending of many sounds. Create key ranges with crossfades, and layer groups with key switches. You can create your own “meta-synth” unlike anything your audience could imagine.

Mixer

MachFive 3’s on-screen mixer is an easy and inuititive way to set channel levels, panning, and effects inserts for each part. But that’s only the beginning. MachFive’s effects architecture has been enhanced and expanded to give you all the flexibility you need for completely self-contained mixing and routing, including unlimited parts (channel strips), unlimited effects, master effects (bus and aux), program effects (bus and aux), part effects, and much more. MachFive also gives you multiple ways to access the mixing structure, from the intuitive on-screen mixer to the bussing and effects nodes displayed in the Tree Editor.
