Helix Native number of blocks/DSP limit

[VSmolsky]

Hi, I'm a new guy here at Line6 forum

I was considering to buy an HX Stomp for my home-studio only for recording purposes (no gigging or rehearsal), but I discovered that it can run up to 6 blocks. Considering that 2 block will be ever occupied by Amp and IR, 4 blocks remain.

Overdrive/Distortion, modulation, delay, maybe a rotary effect as a second modulation...

This could be my effects chain, but I couldn't add a simple EQ, or a compressor, nor a reverb. This could be frustratring sometimes.

 

 

So I wondered if the Helix Native plugin could be a better option. What is the maximum number of blocks on Helix Native?

I don't need fancy effects like synth, envelope filter or pitch wah.

Comp, overdrive/dist/fuzz, modulation, delay, reverb, rotary (sometimes), EQ, amp, cab (IR).

This is all I need.

 

Do you think that the Helix Native can run this effects chain into my USB audio interface?

Does the plugin have a DSP limit, similarly to physical counterparts (Helix, Helix LT, HX Stomp)?

Thanks to all

The latest version of Helix Native has an option to disengage hardware compatibility... this means you will not run out of resources, providing your computer can handle it. 

 

Total # of Blocks = 32

This is split into 4 paths of 8 blocks each

 

There are two primary paths.... and each primary has a parallel path. If you don't need any parallel effects you can create a larger serial chain... which is how you can ultimately end up with 32 effects.
