SoOOoN (Neural DSP Nano Cortex)

I see it more like the Kemper Player than the Firebox.

So how does one know which preset you are on? That would pretty much piss me off, but then I only use one preset, lmao.

You need to have a smart phone or tablet taped up on the mic stand… and if you don’t sing.. now there’s a reason to have a stand. There’s probably tablet/phone stands these days.

Embrace the future people!!! Come on!!!!

Or I guess Tonex - Ampli-firebox had more than just reverb though.

 

[BenIfin]

Each FSW has 5 mini Lights ..... maybe 5 amp and/or Captures and 5 EFX plus a knob to control the FX Level and 5 Banks as per Bank Button

No continuous encoders => no purchase

What an idiotic shit decision on their part.

 

[GTR37]

And the leak came from Sweetwater. LMAO
From the TOP

Got a tracking email from Sweetwater for some stuff I ordered, and this was on the page with my tracking info. Link doesn’t work yet, but I guess the cat’s is pretty much out of the bag now.

Let’s just wait and see what the footswitches control
If they are tap / hold and you can access 2 or 3 scenes that’s fine for most

Mitch was never going to let us down !!!!

Definitely looks like 5 Banks [via Button] plus 5 "steps" through each of the 2 FSW's

 

[JiveTurkey]

So the the whole "cool" thing about the QC (shudder), touchscreens and poo switches, is gone? Ugh. Still.

 

[GTR37]

5 banks
2 presets or maybe 4 depending on if they have tap/ hold a la Kemper / Fractal

God, it´s true! But they also have led rings... so... isn´t it weird? Why would you want led rings if knobs aren´t endless?

 

[2dor]

Looks like this one might have a different power supply

I can't tell if you are impressed or disappointed

 

[BenIfin]

If its got a full midi spec it will help [potential] users a lot

 

[2dor]

...seeing how it's aimed at Neural Capture playback, I wonder if NDSP plans on bringing some accuracy improvements to the process...pipe dream, I know.

 

[Whizzinby]

The LEDs will still be useful because once you start moving around in presets you’ll forget all the configured values. Endless encoders makes more sense, but the value of the LED indicators is still there.

The Nano Cortex is a pedal-sized guitar rig modeller that pushes the boundaries of guitar tone technology. Create inspiring high-definition captures of any amp or pedal in minutes, choose from thousands of built-in rigs or user captures on the Cortex Cloud, and easily build it into your setup with ultra-versatile connectivity.

Powered by Neural DSP’s acclaimed processing and capture technology, the Nano Cortex combines unmatched sound quality and tonal ‘feel’ with simple controls and smart features that make it a breeze to use. Following in the footsteps of its big brother, the Quad Cortex, this might just be the ultimate portable guitar & bass rig modeller, whatever your style!

Key Features​

• Neural DSP Power In A Pedal – Industry-leading sound quality and DSP power housed in a sleek, hard-wearing stompbox enclosure that fits on your pedalboard.
• Thousands Of Premium Tones – Between the built-in library and the Cortex Cloud, you can seamlessly switch between readymade guitar & bass tones for any style, any occasion in seconds.
• Capture & Create Your Own Rig – It only takes a few minutes to capture any amp or pedal, A/B test its sound, and save it as part of your own custom rig without ever leaving the Nano Cortex’s easy controls.
• Simple, Versatile Signal Chain – The Nano Cortex keeps it simple & creative with Pitch and Noise Gate pre-FX, combined with whatever amp & IR combination you want, plus 3 post-FX slots to add rich atmosphere.
• Smart Connectivity – Effortlessly hook the Nano Cortex up to your setup with full stereo outs, MIDI control, USB-C, and Bluetooth for app-based tone customisation. You can even record straight into your DAW with low-latency USB audio!

So, fixed signal path, in device capturing... and it seems to do only captures, not models?

EDIT: Yes, it's a capture player exclusively.

The Nano Cortex features a fixed signal chain consisting of seven device slots, any of which can be bypassed depending on your setup. The pre and post-FX are the same quality on the industry-leading Quad Cortex – yes, it’s that powerful! Here’s what’s in the chain:

• Pre-FX Slots – The Adaptive Gate reduces unwanted noise for a clean signal, while Transpose lets you change the tuning of your instrument with no perceivable latency.
• Neural Capture - Nano Cortex ships with 25 preloaded Neural Captures, including classics such as the Mesa Boogie JP2C, Fender Princeton 65, and Ampeg SVT Classic. Cortex Cloud has thousands of captures to explore and use for free. You can store up to 256 Neural Captures on your device.
• IR Loader Slot – Pre-loaded with 10 premium-quality IRs, each featuring five different mic options and six mic positions. Load up to 256 custom IRs.
• Post-FX Slots – Add stunning shimmery chorus inspired by the Boss® DC-2W®, a warm BBD-style analogue delay, and expansive reverb based on the legendary Lexicon® 224®.
