Kontakt 5 (Native Instruments) has a printed manual, which I have, so if all I need to do is to send MOTU the first page of the Kontakt 5 manual to qualify for the competitive upgrade, then I might do it, since (a) it reduces the cost of MachFive 3 by approximately $200 (US) and (b) I stopped reading and using printed manuals over a decade ago. MOTU makes great stuff, and I am a longtime MOTU customer, so I might get a copy of MachFive 3 if doing the competitive upgrade allows me to continue to use the competitive VSTi virtual instrument, which looks to be the case, since the proof of ownership requirement is to send the first page of the owner's manual, which is not a big deal for me, so long as I can continue to use the produce. MachFive 3 also supports other formats, so it is not limited to VST, but NOTION 3 uses VST and works nicely with VST plug-ins. I do everything on a 2.8-GHz 8-core Mac Pro running Mac OS X 10.7.3 (Lion), but I do not have MachFive 3, so at present I cannot do any experiments to verify the information that MOTU Technical Support provided, but I always get good information from MOTU Technical Support, and the information they provided is that MachFive 3 works as a VST plug-in, which maps to everything being supported when MachFive 3 is used as a VST plug-in, including the new scripted instruments. įor reference, I also asked specifically about VST3, which is a newer flavor of VST technology and supports surround sound and other stuff, but in at least one instance for a specific Voxengo plug-in, it does not work with NOTION 3, which is the reason I asked about it, and the answer is that MachFive 3 is a regular or standard VST plug-in rather than the newer type, which for use with NOTION 3 is good. Regarding the new MachFive 3 scripted instruments, they work along with all the other stuff in MachFive 3. I called MOTU Technical Support this afternoon and asked whether MachFive 3 works with NOTION 3, and the answer is that MachFive 3 works as a VST plug-in in the same general way as Kontakt 5 (Native Instruments), SampleTank (IK Multimedia), and other standard VST plug-ins work, hence it should work nicely with NOTION 3. Is there any chance to see them supported by Notion any time soon? Chcd wrote:Motu’s Machfive 3 introduced a new technology: MachFive’s scripted instruments
