Activation of bluetooth on QC

Did you have to power that WIDI jack with an external power supply? The QC manual doesn’t specify if the out provides it’s own power over the midi jack.

You can already map multiple on/off devices to a single footswitch, even in stomp mode, no need for scenes.
However if you want to do more than just on/off (i.e. change a setting or flip a toggle within an effect) you have to use scenes for that.
Hybrid mode will help smooth things out, but really they need to allow any parameter to be mapped to any footswitch like you can in several other modelers like the Helix and I think Headrush.

+1! The bluetooth backing tracking playback is such a necessity.

QuadCortex have ATWILC3000-MR110CAwifi/BT module.

This module include anntena.
Technically it is possible to implement BT.
How nice it would be if it could be used in conjunction with an editor.

Agreed. I hope they strongly consider adding Bluetooth capabilities. I think it’s wasted potential until they do.

What would they be waiting for?!

I think this may be coming…

I got asked to participate in a Neural DSP survey, with questions surrounding practicing with the QC. Asked what kind of study materials, such as YouTube, online lessons and courses. And notably asked about backing tracks.

Hoping we’ll see something in the near future.

This would be amazing!
Interesting to hear Neural is doing surveys!

I would strongly encourage everyone to make their voice heard about the features they want not only by voting in this forum, but also by writing to the support. :blush:
Look at how this is going in this thread:

Hey! Thanks for your reply. Sorry for this SLOW reply back!
I just downloaded TouchOSC and am digging into it. How long did it take to code the controls for the QC?
I’m trying to make up for the QC’s lack of midi control, i.e. no on/off data bit for the individual effects blocks. I’m wondering if I can add a variable array in TouchOSC to track the on/off button states and control the QC through OSC on my ipad via a midi foot controller.
Maybe too much to ask or too much work hahaha.
Also curious about the Widi control. Glad to see it works!

I remember it was a bit tedious because I has to set the buttons one by one… but not that difficult, once understood the procedure.
Unfortunately that ipad mini died, so i don’t have any config file to share…

OK, no worries. I literally started from scratch today. I’m sure it’ll take some time to understand the process. Thanks.

Now with the nano being Bluetooth enabled and cortex cloud incorporating this feature, will this be revisited.?

Never made any sense to me that it never had bluetooth option, is it an issue with power consumption? hardware certification? ndsp waiting until they produce their own BT midi hardware to activate?
Having the nano being entirely controlled through bluetooth phone app makes things a bit awkward now.

I had a lot of fun filling in a survey too, and hopefully giving some very constructive feedback on what could be done to realise the potential of the QC; and as someone who by chance is exploring a lot the world of backing tracks / click tracks, I was particularly interested to see a few questions about backing tracks.

Definitely a game changer for the QC if they add the ability to stream to it…

There may we’ll be a BT module, but it wouldn’t work without an antenna.

Do you think the Bluetooth module in there was a ditched feature but they kept it inside? I feel like I saw people post about the Bluetooth module in the past and say it wouldn’t be possible to be used in future updates because it isn’t fully set up

If it’s a M.2 card, as you find in laptops, then it’s probably impossible to find one without Bluetooth.

I got one of these and it works really well

Funnily enough I couldn’t get the Yamaha one to work but do use the WIDIflex dongle successfully.

Doesn’t let you stream music to the QC of course, which would be really useful

Any updates on this feature?
