If you had to pick only one NDSP plugin...

It still blows my mind that the newly released plugins (and future ones) aren't readily compatible and loadable on the QC. It seems like just doubling up the work

It’s hard to really say as they have not released any new plug-in in 2024 so maybe going fwd in 2025 they will have figured out to just release X versions going fwd
At least that’s my hope

It brings into stark focus the fact that this is not "compatibility" in any conventional sense of the word. They're just developing new CorOS content at their typical, excruciatingly slow pace.

Yes, they're clearly porting the plugin content to the QC on a per element basis and then providing the ability to import presets to the QC from the plugin using the ported elements.

They might be able to automate some aspects of the porting process to improve turn time as they move forward. There's also quite a bit of redundancy. Like the pedals, etc, which are likely just variant of one another.

I suspect they likely have certain changes on the plugin side to facilitate this process by putting it into a common framework and that is what that 'X' version business is all about.

Based on history, I expect them to continue forward motion but at a pace that tests some folks patience. As someone who is rooting for them, I am hopeful they will get through it in about 18-24months but that might be far too aggressive. We'll see, shrug.
