![]() While one OS version may seem superficially the same as another, the behaviour is different, if only subtly. In other words we have written Cubase SX for the ?NT kernel? that lies at the heart of all current Microsoft OS products. And to answer another question: Yes, the network of threads Cubase SX creates will probably all appear to work on other Windows versions, but whether they will work as we intend is another question altogether. Simply said, the context we have chosen is Windows 2000 or Windows XP. ![]() What is important to understand is that the CONTEXT in which Cubase SX threads run is of equal importance to the interaction of the threads themselves. The composition, structure, relative priority and behaviour of each and all these individual threads is critical for a predictable and efficient program.īut these threads started by Cubase SX are not alone: there are a bewildering number of other threads started by other applications and the OS itself. You may think the song is just playing when you pressed the start button - one linear task - but this illusion of linearity is only possible because a complex set of radically different operations are all competing for computing time. :-)Ī thoroughly modern application like Cubase SX relies on a carefully managed and highly optimised set of concurrently active tasks, called threads. It?s practically impossible to explain why Cubase SX is specifically for 2000/XP without getting into deep technical details so I will try and steer a middle course between just saying it is just so, or starting a discussion where everyone who has ever looked over the Windows documentation feels they could offer advice on how we should have done it?. Probably the most important point is that Cubase SX has been developed and tested on Windows 2000 and XP systems from the start: And that?s the requirement we have made for running it. ![]() Cubase SX still only supports 2000/ & XP - and that will remain part of the minimum system requirements.įirstly to bring everyone up-to-date with the issues here?s our view on the whole Windows 2000/XP issue ( if it seems familiar it is largely the same as my original clarification of our position - this I can do because actually from the pure technical point of view we haven?t changed our minds. Now before people go rushing off and say that everything?s now fine for SX under Windows 98 - I just want to throw a spanner in those works in that I need to tell you this is exactly not what's happened.Ĭubase SX requires Windows 2000 or XP just as before - the only difference is that you can install it under Windows 98. This message has been posted by Dave Nicholson on .Īs many of you know, when Cubase SX was initially released we deliberately created an installer that prohibited the installation under Windows 98 systems.
