System Requirements
General
- A MIDI interface to use MIDI input controls. (NOTE: This may be built into the soundcard on your computer.)
- Tcl/Tk version 8.0 or higher to use the simple Tcl/Tk GUIs provided with the STK distribution (available free over the WWW for all supported realtime platforms).
Linux (specific)
- A soundcard to use realtime audio input/output capabilities. In order to use the effects project, the soundcard and drivers must support full duplex mode.
- OSS or ALSA device drivers for realtime sound output and MIDI input.
Windows95/98/2000/XP (specific)
- A soundcard to use realtime audio input/output capabilities. In order to use the effects project, the soundcard and drivers must support full duplex mode.
- DirectX 5.0 (or higher) runtime libraries to use the precompiled binaries.
- Visual C++ 6.0 for compiling (though a precompiled distribution is available).
- For compiling the source (if not already in your system):
- dsound.h header file (DirectX 6.1) - put somewhere in your header search path
- dsound.lib library file (DirectX 6.1) - put somewhere in your library search path
WindowsNT (specific)
- STK is no longer supported under WindowsNT because DirectX support for NT is minimal. Unless DirectX 5.0 or higher becomes available for NT, STK won't work.
