BPM version 1.5 has the following system requirements:
A minimum of 1 GB of RAM is required. However, since BPM loads samples (or a portion of the samples) into the computer's RAM add as much RAM as possible to your computer; 2 GB or more is recommended.
Large hard drive(s). See below for Mac and Windows specific hard drive requirements.
An available USB port for the iLok USB key. Note that if you have multiple products which use iLoks for authorization you can consolidate multiple authorizations onto a single iLok; see this tech note.
A CD/DVD disk drive for installation.
For Mac:
PowerPC G4 CPU 1 GHz or faster, with multiple processors/cores highly recommended; a PowerPC G5 or Intel-based CPU is recommended
Mac OS X version 10.4, 10.5, or 10.6; v10.4.11 or later is required.
Hard drive(s) with at least 22 GB free to hold the sound files, plug-in, and application. The drive(s) must be formatted as Mac OS Extended (also known as HFS+); journalling can be on or off.
An audio sequencer software package that hosts MAS, AU, VST, or RTAS instrument plug-ins. As BPM has 34 outputs (stereo main outs + 16 stereo aux outputs), the host needs to support instruments with greater than 32 outputs. Alternatively, BPM can be used as a standalone application.
For Windows:
Pentium 4 CPU (or equivalent) 1 GHz or faster, with multiple processors/cores highly recommended. For native 64-bit support, a 64-bit processor is required.
Windows 7, Vista, or XP. For native 64-bit support, a 64-bit version of Windows 7 or Windows Vista is required.
Hard drive(s) with at least 22 GB free to hold the sound files, plug-in, and application. The drive(s) must be formatted as NTFS.
