Meanwhile I have laser corrected vision (easily some of the best money I've ever spent!) and would not be comfortable reading the FM3 scene names on the floor.
There’s no way that will happen. They are having a hard enough problem just having your computer make changes on a connected QC.
So much this. Is it "we have" or is it "we had previously"?? The statement doesn't make it clear whether anything is going to change. (Though the subsequent paragraph implies plugin compatibility will be deprioritized. After 2 years of its having been a top priority yielding... nothing.)

Weird to be so vague in the midst of text that doesn't hesitate to precisely call out embedded systems vs. x86 etc. etc. etc.
A bit O/T, but I've never really bought into the idea that NDSP (and now IK) *stole* anything from Kemper.
Got nothing against the unit. I embrace all I can regardless the badge, and have had die trying to buy QC for months (without any success). What annoys me endlessly is the company and their stance about everything.
Big money players are just focused on other things at the moment - reshuffling the stratego board. Means of production type of shiz can wait until whatever is left and where it is left.
You know we used to be platform entire companies’ (finance erp … or anything really) running on real big *****in’ iron … from $500k to $1B
Doesn’t take anything but a little bit of time and money. There are third-party firms who do this all day long. Specialists - top men lol
It’s not a question of if or when, it’s a question of why the fudge haven’t they done it already?
Competency appears to be a lost art.
Look upon my works, ye lasik, and despair!

I had an operation called SMILE. They laser a small hole into your eye and through there cut off a piece of the lens, then use tools to extract it. This is how the extraction part looks, like literally reminded me of windshield wipers, but on my eyes.
Since you quoted me, I just want to say for the record that I agree. That observation has been made many times here ("everything about the QC was stolen from..."); I was just calling out the inconsistency. I expect that the inevitable good will we'll see toward any product that competes with QC (the enemy of my enemy is my friend?) is going to be marked by that same inconsistency.
IIRC he's said their plugins don't have a singular approach to modeling and they change the methods as they develop them, adding in black boxes as they see fit.“We could spend years trying to understand them on on a physics level, or we could automate it”: Neural DSP’s Doug Castro on how machine learning can surpass human understanding of amplifiers
The man behind the revolutionary AI-driven Neural DSP Quad Cortex floor modeller talks about what it’s like to peek into the black box.
^excerpted from:
TL;DR
“At first, the plugins were being built the old-fashioned way, without machine learning. But the limitations of that approach were soon evident. “We realised it took one of our super-brilliant, world-class PhDs around seven weeks to model an amplifier. Forget about any delays, reverbs, cab simulation, all of that. One amp – seven weeks. And to find enough people that were really good at conventional amp modelling was going to be very hard – there are very few people who understand it from top to bottom – you need to really understand analogue electronics, and DSP algorithms, turning the analogue behaviour into equations, and then you need to be really good at programming so they actually write code that’s efficient and run the model in real time. Finding one person who can do all that? That’s really hard.”
—Doug Castro
In the article isn’t he stating that after some initial white box modeled plugins their overall amp modeling became black boxed based.
On Leon's discord a former employee of neural was chatting about gear. They mentioned how if he goes digital is will certainly not be NDSP. Now sure there could have been some divide if said person was let go etc but they mentioned how since they "know how the sausage is made" at NDSP, he will be avoiding their products.
