UAD Powered Plug-Ins Manual - 80 - Chapter 7: Using UAD Powered Plug-Ins
DSP Loading Information
The UAD cards feature either one (UAD-1 & UAD-2 Solo), two (UAD-2 Duo),
or four (UAD-2 Quad) on-board DSP chips for processing Powered Plug-Ins.
In UAD-1-only systems, when there is more than one UAD-1 in the system, the
UAD-1 card that has the lowest resource usage will receive the next Powered
Plug-In load. Note that an individual UAD-1 plug-in cannot be split across two
(or more) UAD-1 processors.
For example, let’s say you have a two UAD-1 cards installed, the UAD Meter
displays 90%, you load another UAD plug-in that requires 6% DSP, yet you
get a “plug-in unable to load” message. This would occur if both cards are al-
ready at 95% (the meter shows the total available DSP, not the per-card DSP),
so a 6% plug-in can’t load.
