Bovenkerk Hinsz - Hauptwerk Requirements



The Hinsz virtual instrument comes in stereo at 24 bit 48kHz resolution with multiple loops for each sample, with some samples containing up to 6 or more loops. The set also includes 2-3 extra release samples for every pipe. Samples are long and can be up to 10 seconds or more (choosing multiple-loop option in Hauptwerk).The following list shows various memory requirements for loading the entire instrument which will allow you to see how the organ may fit into your computer specifications. Note that users may disable ranks of samples from loading to even further reduce RAM use.

Hauptwerk 3 allows samples to be loaded in 14 bit which will reduce memory requirements even further. However please note that this will cause degradation of audio quality. We recommend at least loading in 16 bit for better results. Loading in 20 and 24 bit will give noise free playback.

Loading in Mono reduces Stereo memory requirements by half.

*** Memory amounts may vary slightly on different systems. These are only general guidelines.


Licensing:

The Hinsz sample set files are encrypted. You must be running the Basic or Advanced version (not the Evaluation or Free Edition) of Hauptwerk 3 or above to install this product. Without a valid license the set will not be playable. By purchasing this set, you will receive a license update specific to your dongle (Hauptwerk USB key) to allow functionality of the sample set. For further licensing information please see our licensing page.


Computer Requirements:
To take full advantage of the entire organ and Hauptwerk features we recommended using a PC or Macintosh computer with the following system requirements or better. However lesser systems may still work adequately depending on the options chosen in Hauptwerk.

This product will work fully on a Mac computer running Hauptwerk and was tested with the Mac and PC systems listed below.


Mac System

  • Mac Pro OS X 10.5.6 (Leopard) (To use the dedicated 64 bit Hauptwerk application and access 4 GB or more of RAM)

  • 2x 3.0 gHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon (Clovertown) Processors (8 cores)

  • 32 GB 667MHz DDR2 fully-buffered DIMM ECC

  • 1 TB Serial ATA 3Gb/s 7200-rpm hard drive

  • RME Fireface 800 + PreSonus FP-10 Firewire audio interfaces (48 kHz or higher audio device required)

  • ADS Tech Firewire PCIe card (400 mbps only. Using the onboard 400/800 Firewire card does not allow sync with the FP-10)

  • MOTU MIDI Express XT (MIDI Patchbay)

  • NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT graphics with 256 MB memory

  • USB Port for Hauptwerk dongle license (USB key)

  • (2)16x double-layer SuperDrive for installation DVDs

  • 20 GB free hard drive space for DVD installation, another 6-20 GB available for cached sample files

    PC System

  • Windows XP 64 bit Edition (To use the dedicated 64 bit Hauptwerk 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. Please click HERE for a variey of performance benchmarks.

  • 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 as well as PreSonus Audio Eletronics,RME Audio and several others. ASIO is preferred over Direct Sound (WDM) for lower latency and superior audio. We tested Hauptwerk successfully with the RME Fireface 800, the PreSonus FP-10, and E-MU 1820 all in ASIO mode.

  • MOTU MIDI Express XT (MIDI Patchbay)

  • USB Port for Hauptwerk dongle license (USB key)

  • DVD-Rom drive for installation DVDs

  • 20 GB free hard drive space for DVD installation, another 6-20 GB available for cached sample files
