NDSP Quad Cortex

[JiveTurkey]

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)”

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.

All I know is this is going to make some great modelling wars content

So NDSP has finally released the long awaited PCOM that allows you to now use plugins as long as you only have the Plini or Gojira

But I have the SLO I have been waiting for this as it sounds better than the current model this is an X right so it has been redesigned right

Annnoucer “ Yes

So I can use it then

Announcer “ no , not exactly

Ok , well that totally sucks
Anyway I will just use the Nameless for now as I just got send the X version
So it’s compatible now

Announcer “ yes it is 100%

Thank god I am excited to get the extra blocks and and load it up ,

Announcer “ you can’t do that

WTF not

Announcer Because you need the update

Ok , well first off this is getting stupid so the PCOM will make it so all plug ins will work with QC

announcer : yes that right

Man thank god because I want to take the spring reverb from the Morgan plug in , so I can do that one PCOM update comes out ?

Announcer “ no you absolutely cannnot

Wtf

Announcer “ you will need to wait for the Corus update that corresponds with your plug-in

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

Petrucci , Rabea , and ToneKing are on deck for early 2025

Furthermore we are proud to announce archetype Petrucci XX is now compatible for your QC , but requires a MAC os of M2 or Higher and is no longer compatible with windows
9-11 ,or XP

Meh. Meh. And meh. Granophyre is where it's at.

It's not so bad really. I captured my favourite presets.

Yeah, this is peak Neural Buffoonery.

The goalpost movement is exquisite.

Are we the only ones in this neighborhood that actually like the QC?

Close to it, yeah. :)

This whole big deal about compatibility with payed plugins doesn’t compute in my brain tbh…I don’t get the strategy …
…what’s the plan here…I buy a couple of plugins to get a fully featured hardware unit that is already priced in the roof of pricinghouse?…

Atm they are competitive “as is”cause of the form/combi capturing and modeling…but as soon as other brands include capturing (I believe they will)…you need to offer the whole enchilada together with the hardware right?..I don’t get the long term strategy here tbh…unless in time they offer the plugins for free on the hardware…and the strategy is to only charge for use on IOS/windows.

Maybe Neural thinks it will encourage some plugin users to get a QC.

But that would be sort of flawed. A lot of plugin users (not all) get them because they can’t afford an expensive modeler. And it’s not like the plugins are that cheap either.

I love it.

@Jarick is a big fan as well. It absolutely has it's fans.

Honestly, I still dig the product itself. I really do.

The form factor is awesome, the factory captures are great, and the presets and scenes are second only to Fractal's IMHO.

They still have time to patch the holes in their FX offerings and to stand up some sort of marketplace for third-party capture/profile providers, but.....then again, it's NDSP. They'll just keep doubling down on ridiculous communication like the latest "development update".

Are we the only ones in this neighborhood that actually like the QC?

I like:

• The form factor.
• The I/O set is quite right.
• The onboard UI.
• The number of encoders.
• Captures worked well.

I don't like:

• The effects quality.
• The amp models can be hit and miss.
• NeuralDSP's lacking support for it over the past 3 years.

I so, so wish it was better. I wish they had never advertised plugin compatibility because it's clearly taken a lot of their time. That would have been much better spent on improving the fx quality and adding more of everything.

Now we are at a point where I don't want to buy another one because other manufacturers will release something new in 1-2 years.

Strategy: omg here's the plugin that Rabea uses, omg it runs on this hardware he uses, omg it's on sale for 50%.

omg who knows when the PCOM firmware that will actually let me run this specific plugin will drop, omg he's already moved on to endorse a competitor, omg why are Reverb seller fees so high?

I love it.

Me too

Maybe Neural thinks it will encourage some plugin users to get a QC.

Or QC users to buy DLC.

Neural doesn’t release content on the QC with any regularity, so these will be content purchase opportunities. This will be a big revenue stream for Neural.
