Re: Mach Five,

This was posted by Ed Hamilton on the Northern Sounds Forum last night:

"I would love to be posting an in depth review of Mach 5.
Instead this is a WARNING!!!

Mach 5 uses a dongle.
Huge drag. Like we needed one more in our lives.

So I install Mach 5. All goes seemingly well.

I go to launch Logic. At first everything seemed fine but no midi would get 
routed to mach 5.
If you click on the picture of the keyboard on its main page it played 
perfectly, but no midi.

I restart my Mac.

The Mach 5 uses a program called interlock for the dongle.

The installation of Mach 5s dongle CONFLICTS with MY PROTOOLS ILOCK.
Completely. Kaput.
I lost all my plug in authorizations.
3 hours and I can't get them back nor can I figure out what the heck happened.

ALL OF THEM. Done. gone.
It will take me days to get this fixed.

I am infuriated beyond belief.

Be very carefull. "

Yikes!
