What is HTDM?
HTDM stands for "Host TDM" and refers to Plug-Ins that do all audio processing on the host CPU instead of the DSP
chips found on your TDM hardware. They use a single, shared DSP on the TDM system to allow the audio from
these host Plug-In processes to stream in or out of the system. The faster your computer, the more Plug-Ins you
will be able to run.
HTDM Plug-Ins allow the power and flexibility of host-based processing for synths and sampling to directly integrate
into Pro Tools. You can work with these Plug-Ins as you would use standard TDM Plug-Ins, including major benefits
like using Pro Tools automation (in addition to MIDI) to automate parameters, or using control surfaces for hands-
on control of Plug-In parameters.

What kind of computer do I need to successfully work with HTDM Plug-Ins?
We highly recommend Macintosh G4 computers to get a good amount of host processing power while keeping
screen refresh rates and overall system performance at an acceptable level.
