V-ST ACK
2 – 12 Installation and requirements for Windows
About this chapter
This chapter describes the system requirements and installation pro-
cedures for V-ST ACK for Windows. Installing V-ST ACK for Mac OS X
is described on page 21.
Requirements
To use V-ST ACK , you need the following:
• A PC with either Windows XP or Windows 2000 installed.
A USB Port is also required.
For more details about the computer requirements, see below.
• A compatible audio hardware.
By audio hardware we mean an audio interface capable of recording and playing back
digital audio using your hard disk as a storage medium. For use with VST System Link,
the audio interface must have an appropriate ASIO driver (see page 14) and digital in-
puts and outputs. For using V-ST
ACK without VST System Link, audio interfaces with
Windows Multimedia or DirectX drivers can be used, although we strongly recommend
ASIO drivers for best performance.
• To be able to play VST Instruments in V-ST ACK without using VST
System Link, you will also need at least one MIDI interface.
