Universal Binary supports Intel Mac or G4 or G5 Power PC Processor
Synful Orchestra will run on any Intel Mac or Power PC G4 or G5 processor. The number
of real-time voices generated depends on the CPU speed. A 1 GHz or faster PPC or
Intel CPU is recommended. Synful Orchestra takes advantage of the SSE3 SIMD Extensions
on Intel and the Altivec processor extensions of the G4/G5. 70-100 voices are obtained
on a 1.5 GHz PowerBook G4 with 1G memory depending on note speed and other factors.
The number of voices scales up or down proportionate to CPU speed and related memory
and bus systems speed.
1G memory required (2G recommended)
200 Mbytes of hard disk space required.
Windows
Windows Vista32/64, Windows XP/XP64, Windows 2000 or higher required.
Synful Orchestra will run on any Pentium class processor. The number of real-time
voices generated depends on the CPU speed. A 1 GHz or faster CPU is recommended.
Synful Orchestra takes advantage of but does not require special features of the
Pentium IV CPU. Specifically, more voices will be obtained on any processor that
supports SSE2 (Streaming SIMD Extensions 2). These include Intel Pentium IV or higher
and AMD Athlon 64 or higher. 80-100 voices are obtained on a 1.5 GHz Pentium IV with
1G memory depending on note speed and other factors. 30-60 voices are obtained on
a 1 GHz Pentium processor without SSE2 (Pentium III or lower) depending on note speed
and other factors.
