Duende can run up to 32 instances of mono X-Comp plug-ins or 16 stereo X-Comp plug-ins. You can mix and match up to a total 32 mono instances or 16 stereo instances of any SSL plugins (Channel/Bus Compressor/Drumstrip/X-Eq/X-Comp) on one Duende system if running at 44.1/48kHz. At 88.2/96kHz these figures are halved so 16 mono/8 stereo plug-ins can be run on a single Duende. This is subject to the purchase of the unlock key for any cost plug-in options.

Addendum (28/11/2012): The information above applied to Duende hardware used with the Duende V2 sotware. With the introduction of the Duende V3 software and hybrid
processing, several upgrade options were offered, allowing up to 64 or 128 mono plug-in instances.
