Before discussing the Tassman in more detail, we would like to take the opportunity to thank
you for choosing an Applied Acoustics Systems product. We hope that you have as much fun
playing with the Tassman as we had developing it!
1.1 System requirements
The following computer configuration is necessary to run the Tassman:
Mac OSX :
• Mac OSX 10.2 (Jaguar) or later.
• G3 Processor (G4 strongly recommended)
• 256 Mb RAM
• 800 x 600 or higher screen resolution
• MIDI Keyboard (recommended)
• Ethernet Port
• Quicktime 4.0
PC :
• Win98SE/2000/XP
• PIII 500 or better processor
• 128 Mb RAM
• 800 x 600 or higher screen resolution
• Direct X or ASIO supported sound card
• MIDI Keyboard (recommended)
This computer configuration will enable you to play fairly elaborate instruments. Keep in mind
that the computational power required by the Tassman depends on the complexity of the patch you
are playing and the number of voices of polyphony. Although it is not absolutely necessary it is
strongly recommended to play the Tassman with a MIDI keyboard or controller.
