NDSP Quad Cortex

Used the qc in 4cm last night. Was awesome.


Just gotta figure out the best spot to set the s/c gate when only using amp gain... input, input follow or fx loop.

Input 1 and Input Follow will be equivalent. The only difference is that Input Follow will automatically change if you change the settings of your Input block.

I usually stick the Adaptive Gate right after the amp block (or FX loop block if running 4cm), and set the s/c to Input (in cases where using the gate in the Input block itself isn't sufficient.)

I'd be fairly tempted if it's a double-nano cortex.

"wow it's a double rainbow nano cortex"

This would be a head-scratcher for me. A product that does half as many things, but twice over?

Why not a half-QC instead?

I feel like watching these NDSP reveals is like looking up porn on dial-up.

By the time the lines on the picture have loaded down to the tits you've already list interest.

My bet it’s a smaller device that can run plugins only...

A dedicated product for the one and only QC feature they couldn't make happen? I don't see it.

Booth one is just the Giant Soon letters they had to take out of storage

A Driftwood suite would be cool. I read they are next to the NDSP booth?

Not sure if they are just playing along or if it is truly related to NDSP.

The Dual would still need to be an able to run semi-complex presets, albeit with two lanes vs four. With new chips since the QC launch, they could probably pull off more than 50% of the processing power of the QC, with “Dual” just meaning half the lanes, footswitches, and /IO.

The QC can be configured to do pretty complex things with only two of its lanes, if you're creative with the Transparent Blend and Plugin Blend blocks. I rarely use Lanes 3 and 4 for anything other than vocal processing these days.

So yeah, a Dual Cortex could be cool. The main issue would be hitting a price point where it could compete against the QC.

With NDSP you never know , its always fun to guess

but I don't think they will win worst in show this year , somehow a 5 rack space solid state modelling power amp from Freidman is going to take the cake, unless it models every get power amp to a T and really is spectacular , otherwise you can just bring a 50 watt compact head like a Splawn or Badlander

they would want to be in around $899 -1000 ideally , which is a decent spot , just above AM4, Stomp , but still relatively affordable

Yeah, I think that would fly off the shelves. The question is whether they could build it at a low enough cost. You could go lighter on DSP (assuming the parts exist) but there are other costs that remain constant (touchscreen, encoders, I/O) if you want to maintain the UI/UX and features.

Yeah depending on hardware and assuming it truly is a QC but halved, I think it'll be $1100-1300....closer to $1300

Someone on Reddit claimed/guessed there was a Driftwood collab related to this announcement.

But it`s a hell-o-wa better then Fractal Soon!
That thing made me give up haha!

yooooooo here we go. one side for guitar stuff, one side for gaming

 

[Dom Mcsweeney]

sextuple-cortex would also be pretty cool.. just sayin
