"The Macbeth M5 is a mighty beast, in both size and sound. It's a monophonic, three oscillator, two filter, semi-modular analogue synthesizer, crafted by master Scottish synth wizard, Ken Macbeth. These synths were made to order and are now discontinued, which makes them quite rare. Even if you have a spare $5000, finding one on the second hand market can be tricky.
The M5's sound is characterised by its full, rich bass, crystal high end and distinctly analog tone. Even the raw waveforms sound gorgeous with no filtering or modulation. Huge basses and leads, luscious pads, electric pianos, drums, one-shot effects, and crazy modular bleep and bloops are all included in this pack.
One of the pleasures of sampling such an instrument is being able to play it polyphonically, and believe us, it sounds amazing.
The Mighty M5, sometimes raw, sometimes soft and beautiful, but always full of attitude."
