NDSP Quad Cortex

[TheTrueZoltan!]

Is the Mini really improved in terms of noise floor??

In my experience - yes.

When I had the OG QC, I compared the background noise level with my RME interface. When I ran NDSP plugins using my audio interface, the noise level was substantially lower than when I loaded the same plugin blocks into the QC. The difference was significant, and ultimately the reason I sent the QC back. I did the same test with my new QCM and found that there is virtually no difference in the background noise between the QCM and my interface.

I am not honestly sure if it even was the power supply but something more to due w internal board components because the Fractal AM4 has a 2 prong ungrounded supply and it’s quiet
My guess is NDSP figured out it was not the power supply that’s why they abandoned getting a new spec’d one

That's been my POV for years now.

I liked how the QC sounded but sold mine for the noise concerns - and I found the gates were ok but not great in solving the issue. I'm willing to give the QCM a go if it is noticeably better (which seems to be the case).

In my testing with it was a noticeable improvement when it was connected to an amp.

Oh sick. My Cioks Crux can power the Quad Cortex. Didn't realise that till just now.

I run one of mine off a laptop battery. It runs for 17 hours!

Powered up, no wires. (In this shot, wireless MIDI and audio, too!)

I don't think I've ever annoyed my girlfriend with my practicing before, but today I was trying to learn the solo for Killing in the Name using an expression pedal I've not really used, and a whammy pedal I've never used on the Quad Cortex.

After about half an hour she popped her head in and said, "Will you stop with the wee-woo shit!"

Next time she's about to orgasm, just stop right before the peak and say the same thing.

Guaranteed to make her laugh. I promise.

I just burnt away 40minutes of playing on this preset. It took a long time to setup mind you. At least 40 seconds. Fucking hell. Absolute dogshit workflow. Terrible.

And you know what is worse?? I can fucking read EVERYTHING !!!! Absolutely terrible service, would not buy again (and again, and again, and again)

Anyway, let's not be too hasty... this is what I was doing for 40minutes:

I wish we had ads for TGF because this would be my top choice
