System requirements
Orpheus will work with any modern host PC or Mac with a suitable operating system and FireWire
400 port. Macs (both Intel and PowerPC platforms are supported) must be running OS X 10.4 Tiger,
10.5 Leopard or later; PCs must be running Windows XP, Vista (32-bit) or later.
This is not to say that the computing power of the host is unimportant, but it is more a requirement of
the application than of Orpheus. If you need to record or playback large numbers of channel, perhaps
at high sample rates or with a lot of processing or plug-ins, you will need a host computer with a fast
processor and bus, plenty of RAM, and probably a fast hard disk too. On the other hand, playback of
moderate channel counts at lower sample rates can be accomplished with even a modest computer.
A good way to gauge this is to be guided by the system requirements of the audio software which you
are intending to use. For more information about this, see the

About this manual
The Orpheus Operation Manual is provided in two different formats: as a conventional printed
manual, and also as HTML-based 'on-line help' which can be viewed on your computer. The on-line
help version can be launched directly from the Orpheus Control Panel applet by clicking the help [?]
button in the upper right-hand corner of the panel.
The on-line version of the manual is displayed with a navigation panel to the left of the topic pages.
Links within each topic page can be clicked to navigate to pages of interest. The heading bar of each
topic page contains buttons for navigating to the previous or next topics, and for moving back to the
start of the current chapter. Alternatively, the navigation area on the left contains a "Contents" section
which shows a hierarchical map of the entire document from which desired pages can be selected
directly. The navigation area can also be used to select topics using a full keyword index, or by
searching the document for a particular word or phrase. The selection mode is switched using the
controls at the top of the navigation area.
The printed version of the manual is also provided in 'electronic' format, as a 'pdf' file, on the Orpheus
software disc. The pdf file can be viewed and printed using the Adobe Acrobat Reader, which can be
downloaded free at www.adobe.com.
Updates of both the on-line and pdf forms of the manual are available from the Prism Sound website
at www.prismsound.com.
