System Requirements
- A minimum of 1 GB of RAM is required. However, since MachFive loads samples (or a portion of the samples) into the computer's RAM add as much RAM as possible to your computer; 4 GB is recommended. MachFive also allows samples to be streamed directly from disk thus freeing up RAM.
- Large hard drive(s). See below for Mac and Windows specific hard drive requirements.
- A free 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
- A CD/DVD disk drive for installation.
Macintosh:
- G4 1 GHz Power Macintosh or faster, with multiple processors/cores highly recommended; a G5 or Intel-based Mac is recommended
- OS 10.3.9 or higher. Version 10.4 or higher is recommended.
- Hard drive(s) with at least 34 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 MachFive 2.0 and later has 34 outputs (stereo main outs + 16 stereo aux outputs), the host needs to support instruments with greater than 32 outputs. Alternately, MachFive can be used as a standalone application.
Windows:
- Pentium 4 1 GHz or faster (or AMD equivalent), with multiple processors/cores highly recommended
- Windows XP, XP x64, or Vista (32 or 64 bit)
- An Open GL-compatible video card with the latest graphics drivers (support for OpenGL 1.2 is required, with support for 1.5 or 2.0 preferred).
- Hard drive(s) with at least 34 GB free to hold the sound files, plug-in, and application. The drive(s) must be formatted as NTFS.
- An audio sequencer package that hosts DXi, VST, or RTAS instrument plug-ins. As MachFive 2.0 and later has 34 outputs (stereo main outs + 16 stereo aux outputs), the host needs to support instruments with greater than 32 outputs. Alternately, MachFive can be used as a standalone application.

Our family-run business of three generations has been successful for so many years due to our commitment of fulfilling our customers' ever-growing needs through innovation, lowest prices, and quality of service. 8th Street Music Center was founded in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1940. Originally, the store was located at 8th and Market Streets (hence our name) until we moved to our previous location at 1023 Arch Street in the mid 1970's. Currently, we are now located right outside of Center City Philadelphia in Pennsauken, New Jersey. Over the years, we have provided the best brands of musical equipment to the industry's leading recording studios and artists who helped create and continue to create the music of our times.
We established our 8thstreet.com "Online Music Superstore" web site in 1996, which was the first of its kind. We were the first to take the risk out of doing business online. 8thstreet has been selling top brands of musical equipment online to our customers ever since, expanding our global customer base each year. We now have customers all over the world, but have never grown too big to listen to your feedback.
