NDSP Quad Cortex

[Achilles]

Looking at this, I got to say NeuralDSP's iconography sucks.

See what they get for trying to differentiate?

I don’t care how boomery this is, just write the names of the fucking things in the blocks. I feel like I need a decoder ring for that shit.

Yeah got to give it to Boss and even Fractal for that. But I also understand the choice to go with icons only.

Ya, anyone with a cell phone should be absolutely fine with icons you'd think.

Speaking for myself, but when I’m downloading an app on my phone it’s generally the first time I’m experiencing it or what it does, so I can instantly attach the image to the ‘new’ thing. But I’ve been using delay for 28 years, I just want to see the word “Delay”

Soundcloud changed their icon background from orange to black several months ago, it’s in the same spot on my phone and it still takes me 10 seconds of searching for the damn thing before I recognize it. Same with Twitter/X.

I'm gonna use your own words - don't hit me!

Speaking for myself, the first time I use a graphical interface it's generally the first time I'm experiencing it and what it does, so I can instantly attach the image to the 'new' thing.

The I/Os are clearly marked. The EQ, Cab, Amp, and Loops should be obvious to most,
and then the others you learn the first time you "experience it and what it does."

Ask anyone here who's owned the Quad Cortex and I'd wager not one had any issues
with the iconography.

Mountains out of mole hills IMO.

What's the licensing fee for "red square" these days?

Being honest I have no idea what those are lol and I even owned a QC
The Eq , AMP , Cab are self explanatory but
Snowflake Hot wheels track
Green squiggle yellow squiggle is a stretch

Dude , delay is best represented by an aqua/green parallelogram
WTF is wrong with you

Helix UI belongs in the ****ing Louvre. Just such great design even a decade later.

Snowflake

Ya but once you use the snowflake you'll know it well and won't be able to wait to use it again.
And again.
In no time at all a single snowflake ain't enough and you start using 2 of them.
A lot.
Next thing you know your band-mates are complaining that you're using too many damn snowflakes.....

QC UI is an exact ripoff of Helix UI and simultaneously incomprehensible. I'm not sure which is the more impressive feat.

Yeah, I mean, I'd ABSOLUTELY know what all those apps and folders represented WITHOUT THE FUCKING WORDS RIGHT UNDERNEATH THEM

Unlike you and your mad eyeball skilz, most can't read the fucking words.

Not going to comment on the fact that 97% of the adult population don't need the words yet somehow you seem to.......

Look, I'm sure the illiterate among us have figured out how to differentiate between the "Home" "Devices" "Commerce" "Travel" etc. folders in the phone on the right, but for the rest of us, we weren't sitting in 1st grade asking the teacher "when are we actually going to USE letters, though?!?"

I don't have any trouble using it at all. I look at the colors and not the symbols, same as on the HX.

 

[JiveTurkey]

What's the kung-fu foot, 2nd icon over after the input? Wah?

 

[mbenigni]

WTF QC HAS CARP LAPTOP POWR SUPPLY AND TEH JOYDSTIC IS MISSNG

And now I feel like I'm doing the nightly check on my 11 year olds text messages...

I was trying to be ironic.
