Is there anything inside the Quad Cortex that they didn't steal from someone else?

I will also predict the first person across the finish line to successfully port a plug in will not Be NDSP
Even though they planned this well over 2 years ago
My money is on IK that they will successfully port all their plug-in
To a hardware device in the next 6 months or less

Err well... HX Native?

That went the other direction.

Yeah, likely - even if Eric at one point said that they had the plugin in their plans a long time before it got released.
But hm, they also had their Amp Farm Plugin of which at least some models later on made it into the POD, right? I'm actually not sure whether my memory is accurate here.

I don't think any of the Amp Farm stuff has made it to Helix ?? @Digital Igloo could ch-ch-ch-chyme in here. He could also have a good secret giggle at how lame Neural are. Again.

No, not to the Helix - but to some of the POD incarnations (XT maybe?). I seem to remember that at least some of the model packs you could purchase back then were identical, but my memory is like a sieve, so who knows...

 

[Orvillain]

I'm not sure, but I do remember the model packs on my XTLive. What a time to be alive that was!!

Anyhow, regardless of how things were and even if things were the other way round compared to NDSP's plans, it's at least safe to say that Line 6 were the first to manage full interchangeability between plugin and the hardware (btw, does it work the same way with the Tonex plugin and hardware?). Also, from all that NDSP has been saying, it'd even just be portions of the plugins they could port to the hardware, whereas you can drag complete presets from HXN to the hardware - which, fwiw, is one of the main reasons why I did at least keep the Stomp after selling the Helix. For some "maneuvers" it's just too good to be true (and astonishingly enough, I'm using that option more with the Stomp than I ever had with the Floor).

Ported FX from Pod Farm:

New Legacy Effects in 3.15
Helix Floor, Helix Rack, Helix LT, Helix Native, HX Effects, HX Stomp, HX Stomp XL
18 additional effects—most from the FX Junkie model pack for POD Farm 2.5—have been added to the Legacy subcategory in their respective effects categories.

True forgot about that

 

[TJontheRoad]

They didn't steal away the country pickers or the blues lawyers.

 

[yeky83]

A lil suspect…

 

[Boudoir Guitar]

Yes , they didn’t steal the customer service of the other brands

[Boudoir Guitar]

Nexus running Gig Performer:

There's another little pedal that loads plugins too but I forgot the name (edit: Mod Duo )

Thought of this one last night
Did they not literally copy and paste excerpts for the Helix manual too

Not sure about that one but a QC user made an amp/effects guide where he just copy and pasted the write-ups from Yek’s amp guides, complete with Cliff’s notes on the actual amp he used to make the Fractal models with.

Noted this a while ago, but it's funny how Neural didn't even bother to change Helix's color coding for blocks.

I guess imitation really is is the sincerest form of flattery.

Well, makes it easier for people to switch.
