Attention Logic users: MachFive 1.22 public beta is not yet compatible with Logic 7.01 under Tiger.

This is a public beta (pre-release) of MachFive 1.21 pending the final update of MachFive 1.21. This pre-release update contains update versions of the MachFive AudioUnit and VST plug-ins. The AU addresses compatibility with Logic 7's new AU validation process, and the VST adds compatibility with Ableton Live and Max/MSP.

Adds streaming functionality : Disk streaming is a new feature that allows you to load very large
samples (or presets that consist of very large samples) into MachFive, even if the samples are larger than the amount of free memory (RAM) available in your computer. Rather than loading
the entire large sample into RAM, MachFive reads the sample from the computer hard drive as the sample is being played. This allows MachFive to play presets a large as a Gigabyte (GB) of
sample data or more.
