Line 6 Helix Stadium Talk

Clearly you cloned the wrong dog. Bill&Ted would never do that—he's the bestest boy.

All that fancy schooling for nothing.

Comps and EQs don't take much DSP - it's mainly the amp and cab blocks that need some thought around which path/dsp you put them on - moving your IR/Cab to the next path might work for example - but yeah this DSP limit looks closer to what OG Helix can handle for each DSP path.

as seen in both attempts in my screen shots, I did try to put the amp blocks both on path 1 and then I split them to be on both path 1 and path 2. when putting them both on path 1, I couldn't get the option to add. Probably an overall cpu limit as path 1 should be able to handle 2 amps and 2 cabs with a few eqs

When splitting them on different paths, when piping them to the effects blocks line on 2b, it becomes an issue as now you have both the amp2 and effects on path 2, which it simply can't handle.

In this method, there is another problem that you can't chain from 1a to 2b while simultaneously sending a split from 2a to 2b. This is a huge limitation.
My last screenshot in post #6150 should easily be possible.

I don't need dual amps but I need either:
1) the capability of loading multiple amps in an amp block with no gap (ie. FAS channels) - this would negate using snapshot disable/enable and having "snapshot block alter". this capability would also be helpful within cab and effects blocks where you can choose a different effect in other snapshots. ie. vintage delay snapshot 1, dual delay snapshot 2, quad delay snapshot 3

2) be able to place multiple blocks knowing that you will only use one or the other. The "alternate" block. ie. put two amp blocks and tell the system that they will never be used at the same time in hopes that it saves some cpu.

Dude… that’s adorable.

I’m hoping we can get folders to organize clones like Stadium has for IRs.

And a good rotary speaker. I can’t get the current ones to sound good. May be user error.

I don't know. I think if I were coming out of the gate with Line 6, I would fail on the side of effectiveness and worry about efficiency once I got the effectiveness down cold. Seems normal to me.

It's been more of a general observation. My (by now 2 generations old) Macbook boots as fast as pretty much any modeler and simply mops the floor with all of them regarding performance. While running absolute killer filter (and other synth-ish) FX, the most beautiful delays, all kinda IR reverbs and - obviously - all available amp plugins, including HQ NAM files.

Give us Apple's revenue and resources and we'll talk.

It's a fight between Apple and Line 6 over who is going to get most of my money, and, in recent months, anyway, Line 6 has been winning.

Trying to do my part!

Yamaha doesn't let you design your own CPU's?

Gotta say that in general I'm pretty unimpressed by how little CPU juice there is to be had in most hardware modelers. I mean, I can run 3-4 maxed out instances of HX Native on a single thread of a Macbook Air M3. And over the years, companies never got tired of telling us how much of a benefit dedicated CPUs and OSes were. I'm still wondering why that would be. They're not cheaper, not more stable and not performing better.

Because it was true in the Intel era and Apple doesn't sell their SoCs to other companies. Even if you went with an Intel strategy, you couldn't count on getting parts for 10+ years. An in that era -

Also Apple has invested lots of billions of dollars acquiring semi-conductor company (ies) to develop their own SoC, vertically integrated with their software stack, shipping at volumes that guarantee you top spot to get the latest manufacturing nodes available. This didn't happen overnight.
