[@Tury1799]

Having your synth on the QC is gonna be INSANE

[@catobringas8637]

The next level will come when Neural DSP decides to give us a unifying plug-in for our DAWs, which allows us to mix and match any of the effects pedals amps, or cabs from the plug-ins we’ve purchased.

[@issy_dev]

Tbf you can already. Just use your DAW’s channel strip to load multiple instances and disable different components as needed. There’s your custom signal chain as well

[@catobringas8637]

@@issy_dev it’s not fair, it’s a non starter. Not just from a usability issue, but from a resource constraint issue, and integration issue. There are virtual processes inherent to emulate the hardware processes when the signal is passed off to the next circuit in a signal chain. Making a Frankenstein VST array does not achieve that integrity, which, is what was required for CorOS 3

[@JayTheLane]

​​@catobringas8637 I've said this many times before. I imagine a lot of the code base is the same for each plugin. They won't make a unified plugin as selling the plugins separately makes them too much money. One unified plugin with the ability to load each aartistsplugin would be great. They should charge QC users less and discount each plugin heavily. I think the individual plugins should also be cheaper for what is very likely the same code base with tweaks and ui changes. Don't misunderstand me, I think Neural makes great stuff and own a good few plugins. I just feel that they milk their customers like a holy cash cow.

[@michaellykens8913]

any idea when your archetype will be able to be used on the qc?? can’t wait - best one by far imo!

[@RubyRoks]

The best part of this is being able to change the signal path (for example, to move the graphic EQ to before the amp rather than after the cab). The most annoying part of the Neural plugins is that they're fixed signal chain, and now we know it's for no reason since you can do so with QC.

[@Jason-Taylor]

Hey Rabea, thanks for the video. I’ve noticed in this and several of your other videos that you run the Master Volume on your amp blocks quite high. I’ve always heard the opposite particularly with high gain amps. Can you explain what you’re accomplishing by doing this? Does it create more power amp distortion?

[@RabeaMassaad]

I just like the sound of a master turned up a bit. Depends on the amp. But I quite enjoy the sound when it sounds sort of wide open.

[@Jason-Taylor]

@@RabeaMassaadThat makes complete sense! It’s all about what sounds good. There is no right or wrong way to do something and I need to get out of that mindset and just be willing explore more. Thanks for the reply! 😊

[@-SILON]

I'm glad they're delivering on what was previously promised, but I never needed the plugins. The QC is an awesome device on its own. Would like to see more development on the effects front as well. I guess an issue I would have with it is that the buttons are a little closely spaced together in my opinion, but you can use an external midi pedal for that. Oh and of course, the power supply!

[@khay2210]

For the issues you are having, a new version of the QC would have to be released. I’m not saying your complaints are invalid though. I’m generally happy with my unit, but maybe a version 2 might be released with more cpu power and a beefier power supply.

[@-SILON]

@@khay2210 they are not deal breaking complaints, but things to be improved upon in later versions for sure.

[@charlesli5521]

My only fear is in the vein of your comment. Will they prefer adding fx's via plugins as opposed to built in QC fx's? I would think that's in their financial interest as you have to buy the plugin but QC users don't have to pay more for CorOS updates. I have a ton of their plugins so not a massive deal for me but for people like you I hope it doesn't play out that way.

[@-SILON]

@charlesli5521 for sure. That's a possibility. I own a couple plugins myself and will gladly take the free one that's coming in the next couple days.

I'm on the fence wether I should buy the Quad Cortex or the Tonemaster Pro. Your video has been especially helpful, thank you a lot. Because of the Plugins I'm in the NDSP Universe anyway:) I dothough have a rather, I'd say stupid question - maybe you can help me with that. Sometimes friends and I just meet to play guitar together. So far each of us had their own little devices. I wonder though wether it would be possible to connect two guitars at the same time to the QC, give each of them an idividual chain of amps & effects and then play both guitars at the same time. Not recording, just playing. Thank you a lot :)

[@RabeaMassaad]

That’s not a stupid question at all. You can absolutely do that. I’ve seen bands with 2 guitars and bass all run through one QC

[@comore7]

@@RabeaMassaad I really appreciate you answer and the time time that you took for me :) I'm really impressed right now wouldn't have thought that 2 guitars and a bass are possible. Do they then assign pedals (Tuner, Noise, Wha...) to each player? Or do they set up eveything in advance on the QC and go with that? I hope you're doing well, really love what you're doing :) Any chance you're touring in southern germany soon?

@@comore7 no problem. You’d just need to build out a signal chain for each player. It’s not too difficult, you can assign different outputs as well. So it’s all possible. We are playing in cologne in October. I’m not sure which part of Germany that’s in though haha

Is there any reason you could not just build your own patches bassed of the plugins I still don't understand why this was not implemented 4 years ago other than trying to keep people interested in the QC when there are way more options now.

[@RabeaMassaad]

I don’t think it’s a case of trying to keep people interested. It’s simply because people wanted to have the plugins on there. There’s more than enough devices in QC to not really neeeeed the plugin devices. But it’s nice to have especially when people are basing their entire sound around the plugin. There might be more options. But it’s up to people what to they like. I don’t care about a ton of different options. I just want easy workflow, great feel and sound and a reliable professional unit I can use on tour or in the studio. And QC (for me) does that perfectly. The icing is them adding more and more to it. Plus when my plugin is on there. I can’t think of another modeller than can do the synth. There are synth effects with other devices. But none that create synth the way mine does. At that point, the game is changed again

Quad cortex of fractal fm3 mk2?

[@gstvermilion]

If you have a few neural dsp plugins already bought i'd go with the QC, if not, the FM3 or FM9 are amazing units. Personally I have the Axe Fx III mk2 for studio recording and the QC for studio and live use (I would've bought the FM3 but I already own like 8-9 plugins by neural so the QC will gain a lot of value for me with plugin compatibility)

[@cohnjordy]

I sold my QC for an FM3 because I bought into the hype of it having the best tones. They definitely were not night and day, there were some pros over the QC, and it's a great unit, but it has limitations that were frustrating for me, like not being able to use more than 1 reverb and the UI was horrendous to use compared the the easy WC touchscreen and UI. I sold my FM3 and literally just bought a QC again yesterday. Just my 2 cents.

[@vincentbourely71]

It depends of what you need. I owned both and i sold the QC because i don't need 8 switchs, i already have a Axe fx and i prefer the mid range sound of Fractal. Both are great and equal but with differents ways to do your sound.

I dont know, guys. Please help me overcome my logical thoughts. A major update like 3.0.0 would mean a LOT of new good and improved functionalities in QC, witch i have and like very much. So, I expected upgrades on something QC lacks compared to other brands, like modulation, time based, overall FX. Just to come closer to Line6 and Boss. Even in the the things QC is best, like new modeled amps and cabs, they could have improved that. But no. Instead, they lauched a update that has in its main core a Neural plugin (all paid) compatibility. It seems to me like a update that builds the way to Neural profits only. Line 6 Helix have an impecable 10 years upgrade history that never asked for more money, only gave the users new benefits. I simply dont see any real benefit in CorOs 3.0.0, unless you want to spend more money ($100 or more for each plugin) on a allready paid $1699 pedal.
