20 patches have custom scripting by Iain Morland designed for extended sound manipulation features. All non-scripted patches have the Modwheel and the 8 Macros assigned in the info tab and many use Aftertouch.
All acoustic instrument-samples in this library were recorded with 3 Neumann microphones in L-C-R at 48 kHz/24-bit, a U87 as the center mic - a stereo set of KM 184 for L-R. The field recordings onto a Tascam HD-P2 recorder were made with a pair of Sennheiser shotguns inside a windshield cage, mounted on a boom.

All demos in the widget below were produced entirely with MachFive 3 using only patches from Scattered Entity Vol. 1, no post-processing was applied apart from a limiter on the outputs and some volume automation, if several instances of MachFive were used in a track. If a demo does use 3rd party reverb, this is mentioned in the track title.
