1. Check For Updates

Please check http://www.tascamgiga.com for the latest downloads and updates to the CVPiano. Do this
first before calling for support.

2. Supported Windows Operating Systems

The CVPiano (as well as all other GVI powered instruments) requires Windows Xp Service Pack 2. To
find out if your computer has Service Pack 2 installed:
1. From the Start menu, go to Control Panel and launch System
2. Your installed OS, Service Pack, CPU and RAM will be displayed on the General tab

To obtain Service Pack 2:


1. From the Start menu, go to All Programs and select Windows Update
2. Follow the Microsoft prompts

3. Hardware Requirements

-------------------------------------------
A. PC Requirements
-------------------------------------------

As with all audio software, the CVPiano's performance is directly proportional to the speed of your PC
system. With disk-based sampling the hard disk speed and CPU speed govern the overall polyphony that
can be achieved.
General System Requirements
----------------------------------------------------------------
Minimum: required for CVPiano to run.
 Windows XP SP2
 Pentium IV 1.7 GHz Processor or AMD 1500 XP
 256 MB RAM
 Application Hard Drive Space 1000MB
 A VST compatible host application

Recommended:
 Windows XP SP2
 Pentium IV 2.8 GHz Processor or AMD 3200 XP
 512 MB RAM
 Application Hard Drive Space 1000MB
 A VST compatible host application

--------------------------------------------------------------------
B. Sofware/Audio Card compatibility
--------------------------------------------------------------------

CVPiano requires either,

1. A VST or RTAS compatible digital audio workstaion

2. ASIO or WDMKS compatible audio hardware.

*The CVPiano can be used as a standalone application if the appropriate hardware driver exists.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
C. Some hard drive considerations
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

If any disk drives have thermal calibration or other control processes that may detract from real time
continuous data transfer from the hard disk, there may be audible pops in the audio and use of these drives
should be avoided. Some A/V drives that do NOT guarantee data integrity should be AVOIDED.

Hard disk 'compression' should not be used.

Periodic disk de-fragmentation is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, please use the Windows de-frag utility
only.

4. Operational Support

TASCAM provides operational support for registered owners of the CVPiano. Please include your
Product Key when calling or emailing. Having additional information ready, such as system configuration
(CPU, RAM, host application, etc.) will speed the support process. Before contacting TASCAM, please
confirm that you are running the latest version of the CVPiano and that you have checked all online FAQs.
Check your host application’s documentation for the use of virtual instruments.

*Please note that TASCAM operational support is provided for registered owners of TASCAM software
