Mighty M5

The Macbeth M5 is a monophonic, three oscillator, two filter, semi-modular analogue synthesizer created by Ken Macbeth. Now discontinued and increasingly rare, the M5 is prized for its full, rich bass, crystal high end and distinctly analogue tone.

Mighty M5 captures this extraordinary instrument in painstaking detail — 4,346 multi-sampled WAV files with up to 16 velocity layers per instrument. The result is 108 Kontakt instruments across six categories: raw mono, raw poly, processed mono, processed poly, drums & FX, and waveforms.

One of the great pleasures of sampling such an instrument is being able to play it polyphonically — and believe us, it sounds amazing. From huge basses and leads to luscious pads, electric pianos, drums, one-shot effects and wild modular bleeps, Mighty M5 delivers the full sonic range of this legendary synthesizer.
