MOTU Mach 5.1 Synth and Sampling

Motu upgraded their Mach5 Sampler plugin. it looks a lot like a competitor to Kontakt now, but it is a full blown synth, not just a player for sampler –  it features an FM synth, wavetables and a special IRCAM granular engine like this: a lot of synths now come with different noise types like Massive has or the Casio XWP1/G1 noises it is not just about white and pink – but (possibly sampled) ones: a new reverb, new filter types. multi segment envelopes are also in here as well…
