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…

Clavia NordDrum analog 4 channel/instrument synth with trigger inputs – drum module

update – and here it is – the Drum Synth „Nord Drums“, it’s not a sampler. it’s an analog modelling drum kit synth, a 4 channel „analog style“ drum module with trigger inputs, that’s what it is – have a look at the video reminds of the drum module in the G2 (still hope for a sampling G3 modular synth)- possibly it’s sort of turing the Nord Lead 2’s real cool drum mode into a drum synth with the synth simplified – let’s check how this will be edited and how…
