Why the Quad Cortex Looper X is AWESOME - and how to use it!

The Looper X in the Neural DSP Quad Cortex is a great looper, and a step or two ahead of the loopers found on similar modelling units such as the Line 6 Helix. In this video I talk about why I think its great, and some of its basic features and operations!

Great Demo Dom!!!!!!!

[@jounih2628]

Thanks Dom.. Straight forward, clear and concise - just like good "how to" sessions should be.

[@DomHawthorn]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@laphamimur8915]

Nice demo! Is it possible to save loops in QC?

[@uxiomayo]

??????

[@russhay422]

If you want prerecorded tracks to play along with then better to use Ableton alongside the QC.

[@russhay422]

Could be wrong. 🤷‍♂️

[@tylerbruner8203]

Is there a way to open the looper x menu with a footswitch while in scene mode? I know you can use the ^ to close it but want to flash in and out of it while in scene mode. Much appreciated in advance. Fyi im in the latest firmware as of 12/5/23

How to use Routing mode ?

[@TheAtheistworld]

Does this looper always waits for your sound to start recording?? Or I can also start to record immediately ?? Cause some songs don’t start on the very first beat... cheers ❤

[@DomHawthorn]

You can choose whether it starts recording when you start playing, or whether it starts recording when you press the footswitch!

[@TheAtheistworld]

So momentary switch mode allows to immediately record only while it’s pressed down? Right? So u can capture any region. From very short stutter to long drone. Right? Cheers beers brother ❤❤ your videos great.

[@DomHawthorn]

This is correct yes. Thanks!

[@beenay18]

It it a multitrack looper. How many loop tracks can it kick in?

[@TheAtheistworld]

Brother, how that punch option really works? How it works with toggle mode and how in momentary mode?? Big thanks ❤❤❤

[@DomHawthorn]

In toggle mode, you press the punch button to start punching in, and then press it again when you’re done punching in. In momentary mode, you hold the switch down for the length of time that you want to punch in

Can i change the preset with 1 button while i am in Looper mode? Or if I get out from Looper mode can I change the preset without losing the loop?

[@DomHawthorn]

I’ll have to check this out, but off the top of my head you will lose the loop if you change the preset. However, this is why the Scenes/snapshots exist, so that you can use those as ‘preset changes’ within the same preset.

[@schwajj]

As long as you change between two presets which *both* have a looper block, then the loop will not be lost. As soon as you change to a preset which *does not* have a looper block, the loop will be lost.

I started this for the looper and started for the jam. I must say, that’s a rare occasion my dude. I’ve been playing like 22-23 years, teaching for almost 15, currently pursuing a masters degree in Guitar Performance. And in my (humbly, kinda lol) qualified opinion, that’s one tastyyyyy solo/improv right there. Just enough to hear your influences yet sound pretty original. Ii especially loved the Beck-ish stuff at the end

Just needs a drum machine. Thanks.
