CPU load

The realism and expressiveness of SWAM instrument sets can be very CPU intensive. Therefore, they require a modern computer with at least a 1.6 GHz Core 2 Duo CPU. Less powerful systems may also give decent results but might require larger buffer sizes, involving higher latencies.

* 32bit products have been dismissed starting from Woodwinds 2.8 and Solo Strings 2.0 (November 2017)
