Can you mix HD and HD Accel cards?

[Imagine]

I was told that if you mix the two, Accel will default to the original HD, resulting in less plug-ins per Accel card. Is this information correct?

Thanks in advance.

No , you can mix cards. 1 core and the rest can be a combination of Accel and Process cards.

Dutch,

If you can mix the two together, how many plug-ins can you get out of a Process card as oppose to the Accel?

I sure this info is on the Digi site, but I can locate it.

Thanks

Depends on the plugin. Also keep in mind that the order of the cards goes:

Core
all the Accel cards
all the Process cards

[Dutchmuzik]

The plug-in counts are usually double (sometimes more) on 1 of the Accel "A" chips as compared to a Process chip. There are 2 Process chips on an Accel card, 4 Accel "A" chips and 3 Accel "B" chips. These B chips do not have any off chip memory therefore they can not run most Reverbs, Delays. Here are some test I did some time ago
