Nope, the minivoicer is a harmonizer. There already is a polyphonic pitch shifter, doesn't matter what someone from NDSP support says. The transpose is a new poly shifter I guess, no idea what the difference is

Henson probably has more scale options as well. Only major and minor is pretttty limiting.

Well they tend to keep updating fx and amps so it’s hard to know
Original Flanger at launch was awful and that was replaced
Then they replaced the VH4 and SLO
They replaced the tube screamer
So my guess is transpose is likely a better pitch shift

I wonder if the minivoicer is their version of the Micropitch with limited options more just to do that Eventide H3000 EVH thing

Plugin transpose is really nice. I still think they should add the metronome too.
Big thing of the Hensen plugin for me was it had a Matchless/Vox and a JCM 800.
Petrucci would be great just for the effects. It has a modern chorus which is kind of like a pitch detune, maybe it's a dimension style, not sure. Also the delay and reverb are really good there.

100% agree
I personally like the Chorus Engine on the QC. It really surprised me (wasn’t around when I test drove it a few years back)
The minivoicer is a harmonizer. You set the key and scale, play a note within that scale and it harmonizes it for you. There is no proper detune effect in the QC.

The Chorus Engine is actually from Petrucci. That and the Flanger Engine.
It's this whole putting this stuff on the QC a few months later anyway is why I find it hard to push myself to buy another plugin.

Of all the mountain high non-starters in this thing; that one ranks up there pretty high as far as actual lack of functionality vs. me just not liking the company.
I'm going to say the same for the barfworthy Spring Reverb and lack of "space" reverbs that were promised since well before launch. I used to not care about on-unit reverbs at all and would simply add them in post via an Eventide plugin.
Now, the FM9 has me wanting to print those reverbs onto everything I record. Yeah, you gotta restrain it a smidge for live stuff - depending on the room - but that stuff matters more than ever to me now.

I should say mountain high for me. Just to be clear. I know there are plenty who love it. I just know that an actual gripe that is justifiable given my tastes.

Cables are still a mess but at least they're off the ground.
Does this speaker placement create any boomy bass issues?

Chorus Engine is awesome. Not surprising if that came from Petrucci, as I really like that effect.
Maybe in a few years once NDSP finishes getting their plugins in QC form, they can start unifying plugin blocks on the computer so we can mix and match.

My concern is that they'll put the X plugins into a "too valuable to discount" bucket after PCOM is delivered, the same way the Mesa MkIIc+ Suite was excluded from 50% off sales for a while (and possibly still?)

Speaking of whack-a-mole...Plugin Compatibilty. Because you really needed another acronym in your life.
What is that even supposed to look like on the device? Is it just adding the fx and amps from the plug-ins to the list of available devices on the QC? This is where I post

I mean, what else could it ever have been? ("What else is there even to talk about?" -Mashed Potato Johnson) You select a plugin name and suddenly your QC screen looks like a little PC screen with that UI up? Then you'd have to go to a plugin setup screen to manage your inputs and outputs, which would be inherently crippled, so you could use effects that would be inherently inflexible and/or redundant...Speaking of whack-a-mole...

Yeah, this is 3 years' worth of "fail to add content to the QC because you were paving the way to add (paid) content to the QC."
