Neural DSP - Cortex Control beta, CorOS 2.2 released

[2112]

This looks pretty decent.

I've been meaning to make another QC video but filming the touch screen is a chore. Screen cap Editor ftw.

I always thought you were British? No idea why

I thought he was American. Oh hi @Lysander, talking about you.

Open Beta just means “here’s our shit, dig through it for whole corn and report”. Imagine if an OS did this?!

 

[James Freeman]

They released it in early beta state with a lot of bugs?
But why?

Honest question, how is this different than say a Fractal Public Beta or Kemper public beta?

What's the half-moon with horizontal lines represent, and what does it mean when there's a small one of those on the lower left corner of a block?

Capture. If it's on the lower left corner it means capture of pedal, amp head, amp and cab, etc

Apple does it with all of their operating systems on all of their platforms.

The reason rhymes with Bender Bone Blaster Bro

NeuralDSP has been claiming a public beta is releasing for a long time before anybody even knew about the TMP. Not everything is a response to the TMP.

It's actually a shame because it's surprisingly hard to find good footage of the onboard UI on modelers being used. Everyone just shows the computer editor for any "modeler editing" search you put in YT for example.

Sorry, but yes everything is all about the TMP

I don't need to imagine this - pretty much every commercially available OS has Open Betas, so I already live in a world where this is commonplace!

As you explore the software, we want to ensure that you have a clear understanding of the nature and purpose of an open beta.
An open beta is a crucial step in refining and enhancing our software. During this phase, you will encounter bugs, issues, or unexpected behavior. We want to emphasize that this is entirely normal and expected. Your feedback and reports are invaluable in helping us identify and address these challenges to make Cortex Control even better.

Also to further drive home the difference between betas and releases, often betas turn into releases when enough bugs are squashed that the remaining ones affect a small number of people and are rare encounters or trivial ones.

For example the just released MacOS 14 Sonoma has the same build number as the last public beta. Apple are releasing a 14.1 version soon that fixes bugs and that's already in public beta version 2. 3-6 months from now I might consider upgrading to it.

Fractal public beta is always followed up with the full release pretty soon after .QC hardly has this reputation.

 

[Lysander]

Yeah, don't read anything nefarious about NDSP releasing the editor as an open beta. This is an extremely common practice in the IT world.

Ultimately, it's a win-win for all involved. Users quench their thirst for new updates/features, and manufacturers get (valuable) real world feedback on bugs.

 

[Byrdman]

Apple does it with all of their operating systems on all of their platforms.

Only after they had at least one working version up and running. Although I'm happy the QC guys got something, but a beta release is still like an insult. QC - "We have been promising/working on this for 4 years so here is all we have for you, enjoy it, and stop complaining please..."

BTW, Google does it with android as well. We always get beta releases for Pixel too. I use to load them to check them out, but usually it's a waste of time unless it is a major update with lots of new features which is rarer these days.

Has the Quad Cortex ever had a public beta for firmware?

In this case, Core OS 2.2.0 is a full firmware release, and the only "thing" in open beta here is Cortex Control.,

I wonder how many dudes from the 2020 dev/release team even still work there
