Requirements & Licensing

To run Numerology 2, you will need at least:

• A Mac with a processor speed of 1Ghz or better, and 1GB or more of RAM memory.
• Mac OS X 10.4 or higher
• A screen resolution of 1024 x 768 or higher.

Numerology 2's installer will not even start up on a Mac running a system prior to 10.4, so if you're still using 10.3, now is the time to upgrade. Tiger is a really nice OS, and Leopard is even better.

If you plan to use AudioUnits in your Numerology projects, then we recommend a faster CPU (2Ghz or more), as audio synthesis always tends to consume much more CPU than you think it will.

If you plan to use Numerology on a laptop, it is recommended that you use a mouse, Even if you are an experienced trackpad user, a mouse will make using Numerology faster and more accurate.

Speaking of mice, we recommend you get one of the 2-button variety. Use of the second button will be very handy for bringing up contextual menus in Numerology. If you don't have a 2 button mouse, or no mouse at all, you can always control-click to get the same behavior.

Since Numerology supports Audio Unit synthesizers and effects, and comes with a few built-in, you don't have to have any external synthesizers to get started. However, if you want to use an external sound module, you will need a MIDI interface and the OS X driver for it. See the interface manufacturer's website for driver software and instructions.

Numerology's software licence is pretty basic; it mostly covers the usual disclaimers and protections for the seller and purchaser. There is a full copy of the license that you can read in the installer program, and a text copy is located in the application directory as well. An important detail of the license to note is:

You can install and activate Numerology on up to 2 computers, typically a desktop and a laptop, but you are only allowed to run one copy at a time. If you really need to run Numerology on two computers at once, then please do the right thing and buy an extra license.

Also, if you re-install your operating system, or buy a new computer, you may need to contact us to get extra activations. This is not a big deal, but you will need to allow a day or two for the request to be fulfilled.

You can purchase Numerology directly from the five12 website, or from within the program itself, by clicking on the "Purchase" button from the demo dialog. Five12's online store accepts a variety of credit cards and fourteen international currencies. If you want to use PayPal or pay with a check, contact us, for instructions.
