Neural DSP Nano Cortex

[Sedaxel]

Mine has been shipped this morning. Hope to have it soon...

From what I’ve seen of this new Nano Cortex box online I don’t see the point especially as the big version is still not working properly and all the promised updates have still not been released as promised
KDH did a good video on it.

They have an opportunity to end the Kemper Player...

Kemper's already got this covered.

That guys a bottom feeder and worse than neural IMO.

 

[mbenigni]

Honestly has me leaning more towards a QC.

Just the one?

 

[mbenigni]

Seriously, if this keeps up, @DrewJD82 is going to have to quit TGF and start another forum.

I don't think I have anything to do with it, though. You guys had no trouble ignoring me for the past 3 years. I think the cracks began to show when @Orvillain started saying nice things...

We’re in a new era of “IDGAF about any of that”; companies can talk out their asses, deliver half-baked products, change the roadmap 500x until no one remembers what they originally set out to do, take forever getting shit done, focus more on marketing than development, lock stuff behind tiered purchases like video games and none of it matters anymore.

Because he makes a very good case and tells it as it is So he must be a bottom feeder

 

[mbenigni]

Two ways to look at the Nano lack of effects:

"We haven't gotten around to adding other effects" = get ready for another several years of waiting for cross compatibility. That seems highly unlikely to me.

"Let me introduce you to our product tiers" = Kemper Player 2.0. I think this is far more likely.

Of course they could somehow do both, which isn't out of the realm of possibility for NDSP.

If you mean cross-compatibility whereby a Nano Cortex could unconditionally load Quad Cortex presets, you'd wait forever. There's just not enough DSP under the hood. (And the UI would be a round hole for a square peg.)

A few extra effects selections in each of the NC's existing slots... I think we can expect that S O O N. (Whatever that means.)

I haven't watched that video. I won't give him the time of day because of the nonsense videos he has made where he creates controversy out of thin air. He's a bottom feeder and the worst sort of click bait.

 

[mbenigni]

So can you load diff effects into it

Still no.

P.S. You still can't load different effects into it.

P.P.S. No change since P.S.

You've said two different things there.

1. It isn't working properly. False.
2. All the updates have not been released. True.

 

[Orvillain]

There is unfortunately still quite a large list of things that were announced - and used to generate preorders - that haven't yet been released.

Just because of my particular use cases, the ones I care most about are the reverbs, pitch effects, the slow gear/swell effect, and the delays. The rest of it I'd love to have, but not chomping at the bit for.

Fortunately it is quite easy for me to work around those missing effects with other pedals, soooo.... I'm less aggravated by the missing devices (and missing plugin support) than I was back in 2021.

Worse than creating controversies out of thin air - rehashing tired, existing controversies for additional boring spans of 20 minutes at a go.

If NDSP only subscribed to these quotes themselves...

Awesome seems like a lot of butthurt , if you don’t like the product don’t buy it
I think it pretty cool , and well thought out , does it sound good yes
Is it easy to use -yes

I think everyone just expected the
Whole NDSP QC for $600
Which obviously was not feasible

I don't know if anyone expected that, exactly. A lot of us were hoping for something like half a QC (all of the "content", half the DSP, half the lanes, maybe half as many poo switches...) Probably for somewhere around, or just under, a grand.

The NC came in cheaper than I expected, and I think its price is justified. But it's nerfed in too many ways to actually be useful to me. (Too few effects, no Stomp mode, no Scenes, very little I/O, etc.) If I needed a little capture-on-the-go solution, I'd be all over it.

I mean if the two units are not running the same code and the effects need to be ported…kinda like the plugins. Personally it wouldn’t make sense to have different architectures but hey they are 0 for 1 in that department before the Nano.
