This is true. :)It's also limited to major, minor and chromatic.

I suppose you could use a MIDI controller to select scenes and use the QC's footswitches for stomp mode.Right. Which, combined with footswitch, looper, and mode switching assignments (e.g. to combine Scenes and effect bypass toggles), can make for very flexible floorboard layouts. And that’s without bothering with Hybrid mode, which will sometimes make things easier.
It’s nothing crazy like FAS’ extensive mapping, but sometimes it doesn’t need to be.
It's a half-assed version of the multivoicer from archetype timothy handjobNo wonder I missed. Who the f calls a dual detune a minivoicer
I'm not sure I agree. What does plugin support bring to the table besides more amps and effects... except with an annoying paywall? Isn't this just another form of QC playing catch up to e.g. FAS?One thing the QC will always be unique in is plugins on their device. If implemented as they say it will, and if done correctly, I think it will be a huge advantage.
Notice the ifs though

IMO, this makes QC a different - not necessarily lesser - solution. Yes, it may require an additional footcontroller (depending on one's specific needs), but it also brings an excellent control surface (literally and figuratively) to the table. The latter is something I've tried to achieve on every modeling platform I've ever owned, and it's always proven to be far more difficult than setting up an effective footcontroller scheme.
I think this is somewhat disingenuous. If you're working that hard to set up your footcontroller, it's not "basic stuff". Like pretty much everything else about QC, the MIDI implementation is very straightforward. Whether that's a good thing or a show-stopper comes down to the individual performer's requirements.
But whatever. Different strokes.
There are a lot of really effective combinations. For instance: program the top row of a MIDI controller to always select Scenes, and program the bottom half of the controller to trigger the on-device footswitch - whatever its current mode dictates (more scenes, stomps, looper buttons...) Then program one button to cycle between whatever modes are relevant. (Maybe one more for tap tempo.)I suppose you could use a MIDI controller to select scenes and use the QC's footswitches for stomp mode.

I'm playing with it now. It's actually pretty cool once you start to get it dialed in. But it's very sensitive to where you put it in the device chain (prefers to be post-dirt pedals; maybe this is typical of harmonizers? I rarely use them...) and it is viciously NOT polyphonic.I could never figure the thing out.
See my previous post re: "business plan". It may simply be that I'm underestimating the number of homo sapiens happily rocking NDSP plugins and looking for a hardware solution.If you’re one of the people that owns and uses a lot of the plugs…
Which was a big(ger) deal around launch when their primary audience was plug-in owners.
Surely neither are "guitar synthesis" per se?Dual detune is the 90s EVH sound. It's not guitar synthesis.
No. But pointing out a lack of polyphonic capability has me scratching my head. Is there someone in the thread here familiar with dual detune and this microtoner thing that can compare the two?Surely neither are "guitar synthesis" per se?
Is dual detune essentially two pitch shifters in parallel? (I'm not suggesting this would "resolve" the problem on QC - it would gobble up two lanes and effectively cripple the device.)
I see. Yeah, I'm definitely conflating detune and pitch shifting and harmonizers. Sorry about that.No. But pointing out a lack of polyphonic capability has me scratching my head. Is there someone in the thread here familiar with dual detune and this microtoner thing that can compare the two?
I think you may be. People bring their computer to gigs to use plugins. The thought of that makes me ill lolthat I'm underestimating the number of homo sapiens happily rocking NDSP plugins and looking for a hardware solution.
And now I will add insult to injury by throwing Whammy Pedal into the mix. Since this has two pitches, couldn't you leave it unmapped and use it to the same effect as dual detune?No. But pointing out a lack of polyphonic capability has me scratching my head. Is there someone in the thread here familiar with dual detune and this microtoner thing that can compare the two?
