[robrxtrain1]

[keybdwizrd]

@robrxtrain1 Thanks!

[toedotty]

Can you tell me what piece is playing between 1:55 and 2:30. Its driving me crazy. Thanks :)

[keybdwizrd]

@toedotty Nothing in particular...

[hiphopsucks96]

would this be good to learn on? I play guitar but I wanna get into keyboards and piano so I can start to compose easier

[PowerOfStrings]

Hi there! Can you help in one question? Can I use this keyboard with ableton live, cubase, fl studio? and it suports mac and all versions of windows?

[keybdwizrd]

@PowerOfStrings As far as I know, it is compatible with any program that supports VSTs (PCs) or AUs (Mac). I am not a Windows person... I believe there is a MachFive forum at the Motunation com website.

[cowie86]

Hi,

I play guitar and I'm going to start learning piano/keyboard. I have a mac with garage band, so do you think I would be better with a USB keyboard controller (like this) or something like a Yamaha YPT210 beginner keyboard? I prefer to start on good quality stuff rather than buy cheap stuff and then keep replacing it, but I know NOTHING about keyboards so I'm really in need of help.

Thanks in advance!

PS. Tremendous playing by the way.

[sirvaan]

omg the 12 string is the best ever I've heard from a sampler any other programs/plugins that emulate a 12 string that well without paying that much cash?

[TheLiota]

Excellent ! 

[supajox]

the first song is wonderful: amazing sound, amazing playing. What is it please?

[keybdwizrd]

@supajox Thanks, it is just something I improvised.

[supajox]

@keybdwizrd Sir, you can't imagine how I love it, I used a programe to take the sound of this first improvisation, hope you don't care about it.

[marlenacy]

thanks!!!!

[marlenacy]

hi! can i use this keyboard in logic pro or garage band? if yes, the only thing that i must to do is to connect the keystation via usb into the mac?

[keybdwizrd]

@marlenacy yes and yes

[blex41]

Hey, great video! Please, do you know where I can buy MatchFive? I went on MOTU's website and could only find upgrades... Not the original sofware. Thanks and keep rockin'! :)

[keybdwizrd]

@blex41 All the major online music retailers sell it - Nova Musik, Musicians Friend, Sweetwater, Zzounds, etc.

[blex41]

@keybdwizrd Thank You, that was fast! i'm sorry i didn't take the time to look further than their website...

[darksynth0]

[keybdwizrd]

[keybdwizrd]

[keybdwizrd]

Je n'ai pas ceci...

[Kioi100]

[keybdwizrd]

tristement, je n'ai pas que vous demandez

[Kioi100]

quelle est le morceau que vous jouez en " Grand Piano" ??

[keybdwizrd]

Le c'est une composition musicale originale.

[djaxil]

How much did you pay for this software?

[keybdwizrd]

I don't recall, exactly.

[elvislboss12]

I can download from internet the MachFive 2?? i need!! 32gb weighs??

[Kioi100]

bonjour ,

pourriez vous me donner la partition de votre improvisation a la 33seconde a la 55seconde merci d'avance =P

[keybdwizrd]

Je demande pardon. Je n'ai pas que vous cherchez.

[Kioi100]

hushed up greeting great cheek definitely!

could you give partition or agreement of the fragment which you make of 33 second has 57 seconds thank you

[keybdwizrd]

I am sorry, I do not understand. Perhaps if you could post in French (or your native language) I could have it translated, Thank you.

[drka0tic]

Beautiful!

[pinkola72]

What hardware are you using?

What computer (CPU, RAM, operating system etc.) and what outboard sound card?

I just can't seem to make my soft samplers work properly; CPU keeps getting overloaded, cracks, pops etc... :(

thanks!

[keybdwizrd]

I am using a 2.4 ghz Intel core 2 duo 24" iMac with 2GB RAM. For a "soundcard" I am using an inexpensive stereo USB audio interface from M-Audio.

[KizzaKhaz]

how long have you been playing?

[keybdwizrd]

For 46 years.

[kingofkeyboards]

hey great video! would you mind sending me the chords used for the 12 string guitar - wide at 3:26 or is this improvised. id be really grateful ;)

[keybdwizrd]

It's improvised, but basically just E - Amaj7 a couple of times, and then F/G/F/G/F/G/A. Not much to it. :)

[kingofkeyboards]

thankyou for the info ;)

[xTh3GreatOn3x]

can you get drums in to that?

[keybdwizrd]

The sound library that comes with MachFive includes lots of drums (acoustic and electronic), as well as miscellaneous percussion.

[souljaworldtv]

Awesome playing/great sounds!!!! Do you know if the old Machfive v1.2 have a great sounding instrument library as the v2?

[allanyamaha]

AMAZING!

[complexprocess2]

Those are some great sounding patches. And the playing is wonderful, as always.

[keybdwizrd]

Thanks!

[mimoocho]

Great to hear demos from you again! Is this MachFive 2 a plugin (RTAS) or a module?

[keybdwizrd]

It's a plugin, but will also work in a standalone mode.

[drileyry]

can you send me the sheet from the second song?

Thx

[keybdwizrd]

Sorry, but there's no sheet... these are just things I improvised along the way, or tunes of mine I've been fiddling with...

[drileyry]

Oh! it's beautiful^^

[cffellows]

You make it look so effortless...

[CleverDjembe]

It is efortless.. once you've had A LOT of practisse.

[vuthipon]

Hi, welcome back!! Keep on great vids.

[shubus]

Welcome back, Michael. It's been a long dry spell in your absence. Many nice patches here.

[N30V1RU5]

Amazing, as always :)

[maxauto44e]

and the wizard returns

5 stars

[Phillowe88]

Those acoustic guitar patches are remarkably clean and crisp.

How much does the MachFive 2 retail at anyway?

[keybdwizrd]

It's software.  About $450.

[Phillowe88]

Ouch. That's Omnisphere grade pricing. I'll stick with my NI-powered softsynths for now.

[keybdwizrd]

Keep in mind that MachFive is a legit full-featured sampler. It can import sounds in virtually every sample format. I've bought inexpensive sample libraries on CD and easily imported them into MachFive.

[ditroiamusic]

Great demo. And very nice playing.

[keybdwizrd]

Thanks so much!

[squeakD]

Great demo as usual man! What are your thoughts on that controller you're using? There are so many mixed emotions about those units. The most common thing I hear is inconsistent velocity between the black and white keys.

[keybdwizrd]

Thanks. Generally, I find all of these cheap MIDI controllers to be mediocre at best. I could easily use my Motif or Prophet 08 keyboards to play these software instrument demos, but that tends to confuse people who aren't sure what they're watching/hearing.  Bottom line - I really only have these M-Audio keyboards to make videos with.

[PeDwa]

You cast the great spells.

[tompaulsen2002]

The Concert Grand Classical sucks in the lower keys. The concert grand piano though is much better.

And? Is MachFive 2 an alternative for your Motif?

[keybdwizrd]

MachFive 2 comes with a MASSIVE grand piano sample that sounds better than what is demoed here. It's so big, though, that my Mac has trouble playing it while also recording audio and video. I probably should get some more RAM. Otherwise, I may try to make a video of it using my Macbook to run MachFive and my iMac to make the video.

The MachFive sample set has a LONG way to go before it could replace the Motif. These are some of the better patches - some of them are quite weak.

[tompaulsen2002]

Ah, ok. Well, i am getting a Yamaha Motif ES7 or MO6 soon. I thought for a moment that this software could be an alternative...but i see...theres no way around a good ol´ workstation. :-D

[DeejayLarz2006]

beautiful work! I love listening to your demos. This one had a relaxing feel ..nice! :)

[keybdwizrd]

Thanks - glad you enjoyed it.
