don't get me wrong Ableton will always be home, but theres def some features here that seem quite yummy. Ableton, you can have the world at your finger tips. Take it! Please. Live 9....

Isn't Mach 5 a sampler?

looks a lot like Kontakt to me! which I run all the time... in ableton.
your case has not been effectively made friend!

Well it's a strange way to start the conversation about Mach 5, but yeah, it looks really really good.
iLock, though considering I'm already using a USB hub in my live set up that's not a deal killer.

I would say this is more possibly a Suite/Komplete killer than something to compete with Live.
Having recently fallen out of love with NI and not that into Suite, this might be my next purchase.
Brutally expensive without a competing sampler, and I'm not sure Sampler qualifies? Someone would have to call.
I own Kontact so I qualify.

I really really really like the modular synth/sampler/filter bank with convolution reverb concept of this.

I think MachFive 3 could destroy Kontakt, by the looks of it.

User interface looks really slick and intuitive. Feature set is immense: built in synth modules and that beautiful sounding granular engine - what I've wanted in Kontakt for ages. And the instruments sound amazing. Plus all the scripting, of course. And millions of FX....

Wish I had a powerful enough computer, a load of spare cash and less dongle-hatred.

they actually put ableton live (not sampler) as eligible for a crossgrade

they also put IK SampleTank, which you can register for free (unless you have to have the XL edition... doesn't specify).

IMO nothing really "competes" with Ableton as a core DAW w/out something similar to session view, at least not for my $$. Call me a fanboy, I could never go back to trying to compose in Reason.

Nice specs, butt-ugly interface.

Looks like it wants to be a cross between Kontakt and Omnisphere...

That is really an impressive looking app. Seems like they are shooting squarely at Omnisphere. If it weren't for the dongle I might have given it serious consideration.

Ya. Which is great. I hate hearing people gush about Omnisphere.

yeah he dongle is a PITA, but too many great pieces of software have them. Plus honestly my hatred went away once I realized I'm going to end up with a USB hub anyway. I have four controllers attached by default, add in a mouse and my three ports aren't enough. Fuck? add in the MOTU midi interface and USB hard drives and it gets ridiculous!

Do USB harddrives operate efficiently through hubs?
