Home Concert Xtreme & Home Concert 2000
Hardware and Software Requirements

Before getting technical, in plain English:

Home Concert Xtreme
Home Concert Xtreme is our flagship, score-following product. It is currently available for Macintosh OS X 10.3 or later and Windows Vista, XP, 2000, ME, and 98SE.

NOTE:

  • Home Concert Xtreme for Macintosh works on the new Intel-based Macintosh computers.

  • We officially support Home Concert Xtreme for Windows only on Windows XP and Vista. However, the program appears to work well on Windows 98SE, ME, and 2000. If you run one of these earlier operating systems, you may want try our Home Concert Xtreme Demo to test how well it performs on your computer.

Home Concert 2000
Home Concert 2000 is our previous score-following product and is available for older Macintosh computers.

Almost any Macintosh (running OS 7.1-9.x) to which you can attach a MIDI instrument will do just fine. The faster the computer (to a certain extent), the better the performance will be, although this isn't even relevant for most computers built within the last few years.
