CPU/RAM requirements for standalone MPC

have noticed this forum become a bit staid lately

can some of you please share what CPU and RAM requirements you would have for a standalone MPC?

For a lot of people it's going to be a case of does LIVE support VST's in standalone mode.

With today's technology, it's something I haven't even had to think about because the MPC Live looks like it'll offer more than I need. Coming from the MPC2000 and MPC1000, It'll be a big improvement. But polyphony would be more of my main concern. I'm not sure what the limit is on the MPC Live. But I'm hoping it's a lot better than previous hardware models.

It isn't going to support VST in standalone mode

Exactly.

Apparently 2.

That's gotta be a typo.

Or Photoshop

Polyphony: 2.
Haha. I appreciate Akai's way of thinking: less is more.

how do u know this; Nick from sonicstate said the standalone runs the full mpc software; so I take that to include vst.

Yes, it runs the full software, but it won't support VSTs. Its an embedded ARM processor. VSTs would have to be ported to run on ARM. Currently not possible.

Or should I say, not done - meaning all of your favorite VSTs would have to cross compile to ARM. Very, very unlikely to happen anytime soon.

It should not matter which hardware processor is in the unit; cos the mpc software is running on windows 10.

so perhaps the hardware processor and be abstracted using virtual processors, but I dont think that is even necessary, the OS and the mpc software are compatible with vsts.

so I dont see the hardware being a factor, as long as this hardware supports windows.

Dan stated in the reddit thread that is is most definitely not running Windows.
