Computer requirements
Running CoMB2 is dependent on the speed of your computer. The faster the processor the better.
- 3.5 GB of free hard disk space.
- DVD Drive.
- Windows XP, Core 2 Duo or better is recommended.
- Mac OS 10.4 or higher, Mac Intel is recommended.
- The ARIA Player needs a soundcard for playing the sounds of Jazz & Big 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 concert or marching band arrangement, we recommend 2GB 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.
