1.2 Installation 7
Keep in mind that the computational power required by Chromaphone depends on the number
of voices of polyphony and the sampling rate used. These computer configurations will enable
you to play the factory sounds with a reasonable number of voices but performances will vary
depending on your specific computer configuration.

loaded and follow the instructions of the installer.
1.3 Authorization and Registration
Chromaphone uses a proprietary challenge/response copy protection system which requires autho-
rization of the product. A challenge code is a long string of capital letters and numbers that is
generated uniquely for each machine during the registration process. The response code is another
unique string of capital letters and numbers generated from the data encrypted in the challenge
code. As the keys are unique to each machine, it is necessary to go through this procedure every
time the program is installed on a new computer.
Note that it is possible to use the program during 15 days before completing the authorization
process. After that period, the program will not function unless it is authorized.
1.3.1 Your Computer is Online
The authorization process is very simple if your music computer is connected to the internet since
the Chromaphone program will connect to the AAS server and take care of the key exchange
automatically.
