SoOOoN (Neural DSP Nano Cortex)

[Mongillo19]

If I was at all interested in the Nano after the release vids tommorrow there is no way I would ever purchase without the app available, I will not do the , this will be available later this quarter
Hell no

I think it will need an app to work so either Cortex Control or some variation

Over/under for the mobile editor release to be used with the nano cortez? 2 years? 3? updated-Power-Supply soon?

This actually puts them in a damned if they do, damned if they don’t spot, IMO.

If it comes our feature complete and ready to go a whole 1.5 months after they finally launched PCOM, they were obviously spending time developing it and the “separate teams” thing can only stretch so far for a small company.

And if it doesn’t, well….QC Part: II.

That said, I don’t really care and I don’t believe they do either.

They're not really that small of a company though.

103 people is quite large for the music tech industry. FXpansion at its height was at most 16 people. I think when I was at ROLI worldwide the company was about 200 people; which was quite impressive really considering they were $50m in the red!!!

I know other companies who are much smaller, and also much much larger too. The likes of Native Instruments, Yamaha, etc. Those companies dwarf most other MI ones.

Still... 103 aint to be sniffed at and I definitely can believe that they've silo'd off and ringfenced development resources for each product platform they develop on. Other companies tend to work on a squad basis, where squads are moved from project to project at the whim of the development managers and directors; and this can work, but you need to be aware that your staff are going to quite often has specialist skills in some areas that another developer or designer won't necessarily be able to fill the gap for.

All in all - I can imagine that the main QC team is about 10-15 people, if we said 8 devs, 5 QA, and two product people... and that NC will be another team of a similar size. But I'm just TOTALLY guessing there; those numbers are just completely made up.

What do we think the price would be? I think $500-$700 would be about right. Assuming it has amps and captures.

The vast majority of their customers probably don’t care either. After 3+ years, if anyone is still suffering in absence of feature X, amp y, etc., or losing sleep over what NDSP did/ did not promise at launch, they’ve likely moved on. At least I’d hope so.

I think we need to know what the product actually is before we can hang a price on it LOL. Has NDSP even said the “leaked photo” is real? Or has anyone else managed to prove it reliably?

It's all part of the fun! I think we have a general idea of what the product is going to be.

And once we know what the product is there will be no point in guessing

 

[mbenigni]

Don’t get me wrong - I’m 90% convinced that photo is real. Unfortunately.

$699.

Or moved on, and then surreptitiously come back 3 years later. Ahem.

Wait - did you buy a QC recently?

 

[mbenigni]

Got an email about a new one for today. Didn't even bother.

There was a third episode today? I didn’t get the memo. Or are you referring to episode 2.

I don’t even know why I’m asking LOL…

Their mass mailings are flaky. (I almost said “even their mass mailings”, but that would be a cheap shot.)

There was! It's available in the YouTubez.

whatever this new product is, I would pay good money for a full production/ spin-off movie that thoroughly explored the story of the last few videos, or at least a big budget sequel
