I was wondering if you (Neural DSP) are going to release a plugin version of the Quad-Cortex?
It would be really awesome to use the Quad-Cortex this way. I mainly use my PC and MacBook Pro to run a DAW and use VST plugins. Quad-Cortex would be really useful as a VST plugin for me, and I think I am not alone with this kind of setup.
I hope that you guys/gals are adding something like this to the roadmap.
I don’t think so. The chains with Amps an effects needs huge CPU power. I doubt a MacBook or PC can handle that. Use the QC as an USB audio interface, that’s it.
I never had performance issues. Usually I’m using two amp-sim VSTs and multiple effect VSTs and the i9 can handle this perfectly fine.
Don’t get me wrong, I really like the idea that I can put down QC on the ground and, use as an all-in-one amp/cab/effects unit. Although, sometimes I would like to use the features of it as a plugin. I’m just hoping that NeuralDSP is going to release something like this down the road.
Anything is possible, but my guess is that they would want to keep the Cortex a standalone product. It seems that they make plugin versions of hardware, but I’m not sure they would try to make the Cortex a plugin. Anything is possible though.
Quad Cortex as a VST would help a lot to control presets per track, but also to work like Helix too without having to route audio in and out! Is there a feature request for this?
