I'll tell you....it's just what I said it was over a year ago.....What an underwhelming update, not only for the old units but new ones as well.. Especially considering the fact that it has been in "works" for years.
I'd like to know what @Bob Zaod thinks about the 2.7 update and if he still uses the MX5 - but I guess we'll never know.
Wouldn't call Headrush users a cult (hmphhh Fractal..) just that some people do not know any better. And yes of course more power to them if they have found a way to make it work - but I'm not even a wee bit jealous.Sadly there are those out there in the woods, whom are still very devoted to the cult....wish I could save them, but I can't ...maybe I'll call Leah Remini.
I totally agree with you. They took all the ideas from the beta team, and then put them on a new device.....using the same hardware, which is why the CPU keeps bogging down ...in a way, the new units are worse than the old.....not sure how it happened, but they have way more issues with cpu overload.Wouldn't call Headrush users a cult (hmphhh Fractal..) just that some people do not know any better.

They have a great product hindered by nonexistent development team. I would easily consider any of their units to be top tier if they actually listened to their userbase and put a bit more into R&D. I remember when the "new" units released, my lord my lord.. All they did was repackage the old stuff, reworked the UI, included some vocal stuff which was alright, threw in a bunch of old Revalver amps which are average at best and called it a day. Oh yeah, I forgot the tone cloud and capture which actually was a step in the right direction.
It might sound like I hate Headrush, but I don't. It was fun at first when I got mine but after a couple of years I've found out that almost everyone else is doing all this much better.
I think HR is on their way out. They're not even trying at this point.I'll tell you....it's just what I said it was over a year ago.....
Glorious drive ... morning glory/blue breaker clone
10 band eq, which is kind of redundant when you can have 7 band, parametric and a global....if you need more EQ than that, you have issues ....
And a bass wah ....
That's it ....after this long .....the update doc is 4 pages long.....3 pages is just what was in the updates over the past 3 years ....and instructions how to update ......one paragraph for the actual update.
Headrush is fucking dumb ....but at this point, im pretty sure we all know that ....and we haven't even talked about the sherrAn loopers fiasco ....they are fucked.

Are you there Bob; it's me, JiveTurkey.What an underwhelming update, not only for the old units but new ones as well.. Especially considering the fact that it has been in "works" for years.

Synth stuff sounds good but slow playing generally always means polyphonic is surrounded by air quotes. Also sucks that it's not for the OG HR units. Did they ever fix the crazy latency in the capture block?
do tell...?and we haven't even talked about the sherrAn loopers fiasco
There is the looper board, which came out after the mx5, but before the prime. That was typically unsupported, and essentially turned to vaporware. They abandoned their own beta...quit responding to any looperboard users, all with major flaws and issues along with broken promises from launch. This was an expensive piece of equipment, and could have been amazing.do tell...?
Same thing zoom does with the g6/11I totally agree with you. They took all the ideas from the beta team, and then put them on a new device.....using the same hardware, which is why the CPU keeps bogging down ...in a way, the new units are worse than the old.....not sure how it happened, but they have way more issues with cpu overload.
I don't hate them, just don't want to deal with them anymore.
Well... I don't agree, sorry.Same thing zoom does with the g6/11
I don't see where's the similarity with Headrush, honestly.
Yeah, I get it.No answer from their support, either, german supplier sticks its head into the sand.
This is interesting.....View attachment 26825
Oh I know ....I was getting flamed on other forums for saying as such....to be honest, I was booted from their forum and another for saying this exactly, and was told on reddit that my product was inferior to another HR product....when I knew they were the same.....got down voted to the abyss ...and called all sorts of names....this just confirmed my knowledge...from an expert in the field.....just chuffed at it. I'm now a fractal convert.Yeah, InMusic uses that processor across multiple subbrands - Akai as well. They have 'em in bulk and have no reason not to. Headrush is ultimately just another cog in their portfolio, and the Headrush "development" shows as much.
