That’s correct, I’ve using the Transpose function on the DSP plugin.
I really hope they address this. New QC owner here and was expecting to be able to use the pitch shift feature while gigging. Up, down, clean, crunch, chords, notes etc. I hate to think that after spending what I did on this unit that I might have to go buy something else to supplement it.

The QC pitch shifter is definitely polyphonic. Monophonic ones just don’t work for chords full stop. It’s immediately obvious if its a monophonic one, the notes are simply all out of tune with each other. I use the QC one for about half of my bands set. Having used most of the other ones (Drop pedal, the most recent helix version and the Kemper) its no better or worse than any of them in a live situation. I can’t speak for in the studio because I always retune the guitars(s).
Neural confirmed that neither the QC’s pitch shifter nor the Plugin’s is polyphonic. They do differ a little bit algorithmically.
the results are literally ‘polyphonic’ in that a chord can pass through it, but NDSP has confirmed that the algorithm is not processing the signal polyphonically. They haven’t said exactly how it works, just that it’s not considered polyphonic but ‘it works fine anyway.’
The normal QC pitch shifter is absolutely monophonic. It glitches a lot with chords. Tested this against the Line 6 Poly Capo, and Digitech Drop……plus Neural has stated it’s a monophonic pitch shifter.
Maybe distortion is hiding the artifacts or you aren’t noticing them, but try it on clean. Sounds super strange
There’s a demo on the new transpose block, sounds quite good.

Dang. Yeah that demo of transpose sounds really good. I’m curious how CPU hungry it will be
