Bought this about a week ago, now I consider returning it. The hardware copy protection (iKey dongle) makes the software almost unusable on a PowerBook: you have to carry the dongle around, everytime you launch an app that understands Audio Units, MachFive searches for the dongle, no matter if you want to use the sampler (say, in Garage Band) or not. Wrote an AppleScript to activate/deactivate the plug in - messy. MOTU makes it more convenient to use a pirated version than a purchased copy - not smart. The Pace copy protection messes with the system - it installs a kernel extension (!!!) and startup items in system/library (not home/library!!). Overall performance and startup time of the PowerBook have suffered since installing MachFive. All of the samples that come with the app are quite conservative (GM sounds, pianos, organs...), only a handful of them sound really good. Using more than one sound at a time results in regular processor spikes (-> drop outs, distortion), even after optimising all recommended settings (buffer, number of voices etc.). Loading presets is buggy. The EQs are unintuitive. Poor manual. No information about the sample format used (tags etc).
Not recommended. 1GHz 12" PowerBook G4 768 MB RAM DP4 as host app |
