If you're already happy with UVIWorkstation preview,
you'll get the same thing in MOTU MachFive plus the editing and creation of your own sliced loops.

so my question is, before i investigate mach five, does it read the loop's ORIGINAL slice points as sliced by the creator in recycle.

M5 read the original slices information from the REX file using the REX shared library. (same thing for UVIWorkstation FWIW)
You can as well auto detect or manually edit those if required.

M5 features a sliced based time stretch oscillator which is the default one when reading REX files or other sample with slices informations (ACID and Apple loops)
It features as well two other time stretch oscillators: one Low CPU and a very high quality one.

Hope this clarify things.

BPM do not feature slice algorithm editing so you won't gain anything on this aspect compared to UVIWorkstation.

I've tried a few 3rd party loops with Geist, even loaded wav and rex versions and it seems to be spot on with the slicing and the timing, odd loops sound a bit off on some of the hits but it definitely slices all the transients. Drag and drop should just be click on the pattern and drag to host. Audition slice should just be click on the upper waveform display.

That is so piss poor... Since you tested this far, you may as well ask on the Geist forum just to see if there is some workflow or configuration or update to address that.

The Slice oscillator itself allows you to create/edit markers, adjust ADSR for each slices(only one setting for all slices though), adjust pitch/speed, DnD MIDI file, map to keyboard slices

Once mapped then this just like any other sample set in M5, so you can easily apply all the sound design facilities of M5 for each slices independently : filter, FX, modulation, playback direction, use timestretch/pitchshift algorithm, layer with other sample or synth.

This is not a "loop station" so you won't get immediate result like a dedicated plugin but I'm pretty sure you can achieved what you can do with any other dedicated plugins and more.

If you have special needs, just ask, I will be able to tell you if you can achieve those.

Theo do you have a copy of Ableton live on hand? Did you know it has a built in slice to midi track function?
