Arp Schnitger User Guide
Memory Requirements-
Following are a list of possible options for loading the Arp Schnitger in Hauptwerk 2 with various memory options. Choose the option that
best suits your needs and computer specifications. These are only guidelines and memory amounts may vary on different computers. You may also wish to
combine several settings to make the most out of your computers resources. All of the following settings were measured with stereo samples. Loading samples
in mono will reduce memory requirements even further.

Computer Requirements
:
To take full advantage of the entire organ and Hauptwerk 2 features we recommended using a PC with the following system requirements or better. However
lesser systems may still work adequately depending on the options chosen in Hauptwerk 2.
Please note that the Hauptwerk 2 MAC OS X port is now available from Crumhorn Labs.
Windows XP 64 bit Edition (To use the dedicated 64 bit Hauptwerk 2 application and access 4 GB or more of RAM)
ASUS A8N-SLI Premium Motherboard
AMD Dual Core 64x2 4400 or 4800 processor OR the Intel Core 2 Duo processor.
4 GB Corsair RAM (2 CMX2024 Sticks)
SATA HDD w/ 16 MB buffer (size of drive determined by users storage needs)
Audio Card supporting 48kHz audio resolution - Currently E-MU products provide 64 bit Windows drivers with ASIO support. This is preferred over Direct
Sound (WDM) for lower latency. We tested Hauptwerk 2 successfully with the E-MU 1820 in ASIO mode.
USB Port for HW2 dongle license
DVD-Rom drive for installation DVDs
