NDSP Quad Cortex

Isn’t that basically what “porting” is? ie rewriting software for another platform.

Like a developer ‘porting’ an Android app to iPhone for example

Right, but I thought they would move the existing code over to QC's format, but really they've just changed the format that runs on computers. Essentially the same thing, but also, the plugins were clearly never going to run on the QC. They've had to redo basically everything to make that work.

What a clown show. Not only are they rewriting plugins one at a time to work on QC, but they'll have to keep updating the firmware to accommodate each batch?! So "PCOM" is only works for the X versions that exist at the time, and they essentially have to recode twice for every plugin.

Well it's clearly that some manager or director wrote a check that the engineers couldn't cash. Like an Elon Musk scenario. That's just poor leadership.

Now I truly regret selling the QC. sob

Oh wait. No I don't. But this is great news for those who wanted more 5150 models.

Doesn’t Fractal have WAY more models of a 5150?

NDSP has Gojira (2 channels of EVH) and Nolly (one channel of 5150). QC has a couple more I think, can’t remember if there are any that aren’t in plugins yet.

I may have misunderstood and I can’t say that they are being honest but from what they have said once Pcom part is completed , it’s the plug in team that will handle the X versions and Cortex team will be able to go back to their regular scheduled program

I long for these simple and optimistic times GTR…three weeks ago.

I think the qc has el34 and 6l6 stealth and a block letter. Maybe a 5150 II? Of course, you can never have too many

Yeah we’ve long since passed the point where their communication could be described as anything other than knowingly dishonest.

Three years later they are having to do a complete rewrite of both the plug-in and CorOs, on a per plug-in basis.

I called it two years ago when I said this all smells like them having to completely remodel everything to run on the QC. And now we know why they can’t release native QC content with any fixed regularity.

From what I can gather the Quad Cortex isn’t likely to improve much until after mbenigni sells his.

Get that shit on Reverb sir! lol

Ahhh it was you , the first thought I had , was I recalled having this conversation w someone and thinking surely as soon as they release Pcom
That will be it there is no way after all this time they could f this up
I stand corrected @Whizzinby
You were right , I was naive and yes they have found a way to f it up or were not completely forthcoming with what would be required and each plug in would require it’s own Corus update

I am quickly learning you have to look out for what NDSP is not saying in announcements not what they are

Like we are super excited to add an amazing new Multitap PCM style delay , this is a beautiful recreation of the classic pcm70 used by Luke , landau and other guitar icons



Editing out , this delay is the is a multi tap type w 3 separate delay lines and as such it uses 4 times the cpu as the other delays
So much like the global eq you may find a large portion of blocks unavailable or greyed out when adding this to your presets

I was just yanking your chain. Neural never, and I mean ever, exceeds expectations with anything dev wise. Ever. It’s part of their charm.

I guess I’m ruining it for everyone, then. I’m more likely to sell my FM3 and HX Stomp than my QC.

The QC does less; but what it does, it does effortlessly. 9x out of 10, I’m fine with that bargain.

Wow! THAT is a throwback. Was it @Boudoir Guitar who used to “throw shoes” at me on TGP? Good times…

Many shoes have been thrown over the years

They're going to do the only amp plugin I care about last. Aren't they?

Revised manual is up:


“The QC is now partially compatible with select Neural Plugins (PluginsX) that are on compatible QC firmware. (CorOsX)

Neural Plug-ins that are not compatible (PluginsNonX) will be brought to compatibility (PluginsX) soon, but pending additional CorOs compatibility updates (CorOsX.2) to be usable on the QC. (Compatible Quad Cortex XTM)

Future Neural Plugins may not be QC compatible at release (PluginsNonX) but will be brought to full compatibility (PluginX) at a future date. (Soon) This may or may not (Not) make them compatible with the QC (Non Compatible Quad Cortex XTM) pending further CorOs firmware updates. (CorOsX.3)”
