@cohnjordy4 ай бұрын
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.

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
