Dual Path, added latency?

[saemola]

Hello,

 

I'd like to purchase a Helix LT, but I would need to use the Path 1 > Path 2 feature to get more than 6 blocks.

Does going from Path 1 into Path 2 before coming out to the speakers increase the latency?
I'd like to know the actual figures in milliseconds if nay from L6 can reply.

Best!

There is a small bit of latency added whenever you go from one processor to another, but it's minuscule. You're talking about it being measured in samples, not necessarily milliseconds.

 

I don't understand your comment about more than six blocks, though. On the LT, each processor path can have up to 16 blocks. Not that you'd actually hit that limit before hitting the DSP limit, but there isn't a six block limit, for sure.

Thanks for the quick reply Phil.

If it's below 1ms then that's clearly nothing to worry about.

 

I realize I wasn't clear.

I borrowed a friend's LT and I was splitting Path 1 into A and B.

I wanted B to be an always on, parallel, overdriven amp and A to handle all the effects (before the split) but I'm told I can't have more than 6 blocks in that path, so the solution was to have the parallel amps in Path 2 A and B and have Path 1 handle all the effects before going to Path 2.
So I thought I was gonna start building all my patches like that, but then wondered about the added latency.
