Realistically some things are just more straightforward to do on an editor regardless of what you use.

The UI on my Hotone Ampero 2 Stomp is basically a touchscreen Helix. So generally very nice to work with, but it's still easier to use the editor to build a preset from scratch because it's easier to pick models, arrange blocks, you see more parameters...

Similarly I'd rather figure out the presets for each of my Strymons (now that they added a bunch of pedals I own to their Nixie 2 editor) on the editor, rather than write them down in a notebook, even if editing a preset on the pedal itself is more pleasant.

Between Fractal and QC, there's just less need for the editor on the QC. With Fractal there are genuinely some things you cannot do without the editor, and some things that are way too cumbersome.

I agree, the QC being incredibly intuitive to use, it’s still easier on the editor. If I’m doing a fresh preset, or diving in, I’m booting up my Mac.
 
Only thing I ever used the editor for with both my FM9 and FM3 was organizing presets and doing updates.

Always worked right on the units when actually using them.

I use a FM3 w/o a PC editor and my AXE3 with the editor. Once you know the menu architecture, all their products flow the same. Is there a lot, yes, but after short while you learn where to go immediately to make your important tweaks. I've built a few presets from scratch on the FM3 w/o an editor. Is it a fast as using the editor, no, but it's not that bad once you are familiar with the structure, as I said previously.

There's just no other explanation for why Rabea X exists now, but QC won't be able to run it for another 8-12 months.

The other benefit of trickling them out is it creates consistent buying opportunities for their user base. When they drop a pair every few months, QC owners buy one or both, as it’s the only best way to get new shit on the platform. With a mass drop, there would be an initial feeding frenzy for some, but many would just hold out for free updates from there, after nabbing a couple initially. The current approach has essentially turned it to a pay-to-update plan for the foreseeable future.

That’s a good point
And interesting that they are releasing a pair always bundled with the update and not random times of the year
I agree I think it makes it much more likely for someone to LVL UP
 
I have Gojira, I only really care about Rabea next, because of the synth like so many others. I’ll likely buy Rabea for 50% and never even touch the amps or effects

Guitar synths don't massively interest me. I have a Waldorf Iridium and Novation Summit. They make the Rabea synth sound like somebody's first SynthEdit plugin from 2003.

Lmfao you think I’m gonna pay that much to fuck around with synth on my guitar? Jesus
 
The Rabea synths might interest me if they were polyphonic. But I'll just stick with actual synth plugins for synthy stuff. I've been eyeballing Serum for quite a while but it's hard to justify when I already have a few decent ones that get the job done.

On the hardware side I still have a Roland MC-101 and a Novation Circuit Tracks I should probably learn to use. Oh and a Maschine Micro.
