This has been Ola reporting live, now it's back to Ola in the studio

[@Liberda87]

I've tested many transposer guitar plug-ins and the only one that does it most accurately is Hypertune from Polychrome DSP, it works with single notes and complex chords, that stuff is pure magic in term of accuracy and latency.

[@korayem]

Same conclusion here and I've used a lot, including Neural DSP, helix native, ..etc

[@Michael-px6wm]

The real magic is to take a rackmount tube preamp for 500€ and get better output and sound performance than any processor can offer, a pedalboard will cost the same and add another 300$ to buy a Lexicon FX, it's cheaper than any processor and has better sound quality

[@flufficornss]

@@Michael-px6wm you seem obnoxious

[@IleniaCore]

Thanks for the advice

[@PedalBattle]

That's an incredible way of editing a multi fx unit

[@adamsoyer]

With this update and the ability to use their great plug-ins, Quad Cortex has cemented itself at number 1 on the podium of dream things I can't afford because I drink too much at weekends.

[@lostinpa-dadenduro7555]

I feel this post.

[@Colin-o9t]

Just received my copy of Masters on vinyl, Sweden to Australia in a week, amazing. Thanks Ola and Louise for the extra goodies too!!

[@chrisgnineil15]

Import of own plugin presets is on the list for later updates.

[@travisspaulding2222]

I'm waiting for it, lol. My main heavy tone in my DAW is a blend of my Gojira preset and my Fortin Nameless preset. I can't wait to see how that translates to live use when Nameless is integrated, as well as user presets.

[@MikaTarkela]

@@travisspaulding2222 That sounds like a cool preset. Any chance you could share it? I have both plugins and I'd love to try it out.

[@JoaoGabrielJF724]

Some sick tones with distortion and some beautiful clean tones :O

[@fivedaysinjune]

Was just thinking the same. Solid tones for sure.

[@BadManIncorporated1]

Just got mine 2 weeks ago. Love it. Waiting for fortin nameless plugin with the ola settings!! Haha

[@sasha6734]

Ryan sound is gorgeous, rip angel

[@SmartAlec77]

Best drop tune is the PolychromeDSP HyperTune!! Best and fastest on the market!!

[@josephhutchins8]

I really wish with modelers would also let you transpose quarter steps too, incase you want to play along to early megadeth or some pantera songs.

[@MrReuno]

it goes by "semitones", meaning half steps.

[@josephhutchins8]

@@MrReuno sorry bro I’m dumb I meant quarter steps

[@Ghost17110]

Fractal lets you transpose in cents!

[@radostinmihaylov8317]

Quad cortex also allows it

[@SmartAlec77]

PolychromeDSP Hypertune lets you do any amount of pitch if you engage smooth mode 😎

[@kelvindam3306]

My balls I love these QC videos! Keep em coming pls, and have a great weekend! ;)

[@kyteluna]

Never really liked the transpose up feature in the plugins, thought it just sounded bad, but here in the QC it actually sounds pretty good.

[@thisguy2973]

As a decades-long player myself, and years of being disappointed in pitch shifting, transpose is an amazing feature tracks so damn well.

[@user-hd6sr5nf5u]

Is there any firmware close on the market? AFAIK, digitech is a little worse, line6 a little better?

[@bradkillingsworth4137]

That transpose is legit!! And I’ve been using the DigiTech droptune for years

[@ipojuca22]

Nah, it sucks for chords, because it's still not polyphonic... like the PolyCapo in the Helix...

[@666dreamboat]

Great stuff, love the assassin btw. Will you ever make an A style 22/21 fret? Neck pickups just sound so nice further up! I've got 2 solars already that do most of what I want but I'm not sure I'm cool enough to pull off an X type for the 22 fret! There's a bunch of us still using fishman'd strats and Les Pauls for 22 fret but it's just never as cool looking as an all black atg style solar with an Evertune!

[@Edwardobartolo]

The best to do it is still the Digitech drop. If you need to drop tune then it’s worth it to have one on your board along with your modeler.

[@t_separator]

Ah I don’t think so. I tested the Drop vs. the kemper transpose function. The drop was much slower and had more artifacts. But I have to say I drop from a Drop G# to F#. The lower source tuning is the harder it gets for any downshifting device.

[@Durkhead]

​@@t_separatordid you put the digitech before or after the distortion?

[@Edwardobartolo]

@@t_separator yea I’d say it definitely depends on what tuning you’re in. I’m 90% standard E and drop D. I can get five semitones down with it still sounding pretty decent. Don’t get me wrong I’m not recording, just doing covers. But it fits my needs.

[@t_separator]

@@Durkhead before. Always

[@t_separator]

@@Edwardobartolo yeah thats what I meant. In my case I can go 2 semitones max in either direction.

[@multimike2030]

I've been using the pitch shifter block in the QC without any glitching or delay. I use it with my 7 string to either go down a whole step to d standard with a low A, up a half step to go to f with a low C, and down 5 half steps to b standard with a low F# for 8 string stuff. I saw the transpose block in the latest update, but i saw it doesnt have fine tuning like the pitch shifter does, so i didnt bother with it. Guess it artifacts a bit more so ill be avoiding it for right now.

[@Ryan_Messenger]

That's a nice piece of kit. Once they allow us to import our own presets from the plugins I'll consider one for my band. As a work around, if you tone matched it, wouldn't that import the preset?

[@mmiller6873]

Hell ya, let's go!!! Well done Ola

[@1234drums]

Great tones 🤘

[@wolfganggwd]

@OlaEnglund Ola! Test out the Polychrome Hypertune plugin and see how it compares for transpose.

[@danielarruda7413]

Oh my god, i love Rabea

Nice looking blue Guitar, which model is it?

[@Metalhead.696]

Hi Ola.🇸🇪 I was wondering if you could make a video of the boss dual Cubas lx amp Im planning to buy one🤘🤘🤘Let’s see if it chugs?! 🎸

[@naicametal]

Hey Ola, what would you do if you wanted to use a Plini amp but through a real Cab? I believe there are no preamp versions of those?

[@sanderwaglen4904]

"he tragically passed last `shreds`"

[@xxchugchugxx420]

Hello Ola ! 🤘

[@fraserpark8377]

Any delay with the transpose. Love that feature on the Kemper but the delay is ever so slightly noticeable. Maybe I’m missing a trick somewhere

[@rodrigopolicarpo8377]

I also experience some latency using the Transpose function. It’s really annoying, but hopefully they’ll come up with an update that solves that

[@greedbc]

The sound quality when using transpose surely takes a hit as it becomes less tight the further down you go in semitones. But no artifacts here, even at -10 semitones, just like when I use the plugins.

[@LiamThomason-ij8ti]

Sickkkkk 🤘

[@henrikdahlberg878]

Is Digitech DT this bad too? I haven't noticed, but now that I know how bad it can sound I need to test it.

[@conorheduvan]

HELL YEAH!!

[@ebb8870]

Transpose works ok for simple barrchords or whatever but dont cut it for mor complex chords with more notes especially with clean tones, the artifacts are very obvious

[@rmp5s]

Really is crazy how convincing it is, though...overall, it works REALLY well...

[@assassin1872]

the transpose is also still monophonic, if it was polyphonic it would be even better

[@rmp5s]

It's insane how convincing the transpose is...

[@bssmackjack]

I use the Poly-Capo on the Helix all the time. Maybe it's because I'm aging, but this specific feature in these modelers is the most impressive to me. Enough to record with? Probably not, but it's more than enough to play along with stuff in my home without sounding like ass.

[@rmp5s]

@@bssmackjack Modern tech, man...pretty awesome!!

[@rlm4471]

​​@bssmackjack It's very useful for learning tunes without having to retune or keep a bunch of guitars in different tunings. I'm kind of tempted to get a Variax to make this even easier, because the Variax can even handle different tunings where the intervalic relationships between the strings change.

[@rmp5s]

@@rlm4471 Yup. That's even kinda old skool, too. I actually used to have a DT50 2x12 AND HD500x! All I needed was the Variax! Hahaha

[@davesmusicgearbox892]

How's that KNK Shield holding up? Anyone else have one and play live with their QC? Slightly concerned about temperatures especially for outdoors shows.

Freezing moon intro??

[@micah_noel]

Never really understood the transpose functions like this… don’t your fingers feel the actual tuning of the strings and wouldn’t you still hear the acoustic sound from the strings unless your monitors were cranked ridiculously high?

[@PearHellforge]

hell yea lets go... video ends

[@schlagdog]

I sold mine early on because of the transpose. I only needed it to go up a half step and it instantly crapped out. I’ve got the soldano x plugin and it also craps out going up a half step so I still won’t buy this unit. Seem to work decent going down but the up is bad. You’d think in 2 years it would actually work.

[@joshuataft5541]

I wish I was smart enough to use these

[@miloschjovanovic]

Plugin Presets functionality is still not integrated in Cortex Control. Info from FAQ section of Neural DSP website: Can I use my plugin presets on Quad Cortex? Not yet, but in a future update Cortex Control (the Quad Cortex desktop controller) will be the bridge between “X” plugins and Quad Cortex. Cortex Control will allow you to scan your plugin presets folders, parse your presets for your Quad Cortex-compatible plugins, and import those Presets to your Quad Cortex.

[@kariskgtr]

Actually the plugin presets are there. You just go to preset tab and search for "plugin presets" tab. But remember that's just plugin factory presets, not all the presets that you've made in the plugin.... In this video Ola just scroll the plugin factory presets, not the presets that he made... And don't forget to update latest Cortex Control to work with CorOs 3.0

[@miloschjovanovic]

@@kariskgtr Ahhh thanks I see it now! But as you said user presets are still not here... let's see when they integrate them

[@Klesk4000]

the real question is: whats going on with the haunted????????????

[@luisalbino4700]

Ola can we get your fender tone master pro tone, your presets

[@Michael-px6wm]

Hi Ola, in fact, if you play on an analog sound, then you can always hear the digital one, it “buzzes” with highs, they create a lot of high-frequency hiss, the sound is “flat”, there is no blurriness and viscousness, and by the way, I want to give you amazing iR that you will not find anywhere, and the sound on the recording will be as if you hear a live guitar cabinet, just let me know and I will give you a link, for viewers in the comments my iR will also be useful. This processor is just awful, just like all of them.

[@ze7en]

"Cordix" lol

[@nicolasterpone3357]

Hey Ola, please put the farts back

[@FrozenSolid742]

I wonder if this mimics 8 strings, would be better than buying an 8 string and learning to play a damn TABLE

[@oscarrojas8588]

Digitech drop, is better

[@northerngenocide]

I hear or feel no difference at all between the transpose and pitch shifter... I call bullshit

[@ryanalldread]

In an interview I saw with one of the guys at neural, it sounded more like it's the same transpose but they took away the other fine tune knob so it's less likely to mess up live (that's what he said)
