Signal path capacity display?

[MouldyHelix]

Just got my Helix and it gets better by the hour!!

 

Is there any way to display how "full" the two signal paths are - performance wise?

ie so you can tell if you need to re-arrange or getting close to a hang situation?

 

 

I have search with a few keywords but cant find this mentioned anywhere..

 

Thanks

The display alerts you when you approach the DSP limits. Selections that would exceed available DSp are greyed out in the display and unavailable for selection. Accordingly, you should never get into a situation where you crash or hang the device due to excessive demands; you are prevented from making those demands.

Helix won't 'hang' if it gets close to the DSP limit on either path.  If you can insert the block, Helix will run it just fine.  You can tell when you're getting close to running out of DSP when you're trying to add blocks because some of the selections will be grayed out.

Ok good to know. I did see that greying out of options one time - even with a small number of objects but suppose they must have been larger objects and all on path 1

The "Super Serial x2" is a great template (found in the Templates set list) for getting the max DSP the Helix has to offer in a single signal chain. You do have to learn to balance your blocks across the two routes (four paths).
