System requirements

• 2 GB of free hard disk space.
• DVD Drive.
• Windows XP, Pentium 4 /Athlon 2.4 GHz or better is recommended.
• Mac OS X or higher, To get full functionality of all the programming a Mac-Intel or G5 is recommended. The Kontakt audio engine is designed to make use of the processing power of your computer's CPU. The powerful and complex algorithms of the Kontakt Player work best on modern and fast CPUs. Please also observe the systems requirements of your host application.
• The Kontakt Player needs a soundcard for playing the sounds of Concert & Marching Band. Standard DirectSound, MME or ASIO drivers required; Windows-compatible MIDI hardware if required.
• A MIDI interface is required if you are using a MIDI keyboard, another MIDI controller or an external sequencer. The MIDI interface integrated in many sound cards can also be used.
• To play an entire marching band, we recommend 1 GB of RAM or more. There is a direct correlation between the number of instruments that can be loaded and the amount of available RAM. The more RAM available the better.
