Encouraging news! Hopefully they donât encounter any big bad bugs and this is the month.
This is brilliant news, well done to the team, and I canât wait for the public release!
Canât wait. I wonder if it will have some other goodies not disclaimed on the new features announcementsâŚ
You mean like bugs? Heh, just kidding.
âŚtho, the last big CorOS did contain a pretty major glitch that took a while to rectify.
Iâm going to try to hold off updating till i see some reports.
50/50 chance theyâll slip in some unannounced content or features. Would be a nice surprise
No bugs please
But stuff like free switch assignment or layout per preset, âalways open on Gig View/Preset ViewâŚâ, improvements like thisâŚ
I think probably they had a lot of work regarding plugin integration so maybe things like this only show up later but one can dream ah?
yeah, I think they definitely have been buried with work getting PCOM situated, I sure wouldnât expect more than that but who knows?
You know about the midi hack for âalways open on gig viewâ?
Not that I disagree, âNo bugsâ is definitely preferable, but often unattainable with a major update. Once you release code into the wild, users prove incredibly resourceful when it comes to finding new and creative ways to break it.
My hope is that if there are bugs, they are minor and more importantly, that a fix is rolled out in short order. What I dislike are bugs that are allowed to hang out for months (or even years). I truly love a quick fix as long as it doesnât introduce additional bugs.
Midi hack? How?
I think what Xush is talking about is using a standard midi cable and hook both ends into the QC making a loop. On preset load send the midi message to call up gig view. I havenât tried this yet but will tonight.
Yes, itâs the midi loopback that makes it possible. It will also cause the QC to reboot into Gig mode anytime it restarts. Here are the instructions:
Looks like they pushed an update for cortex cloud this morning with UI updates for 3.0
âWe are hoping to still be on track to release by the end of the month,âŚâ
One week to go and no news in quite a while.
Fingers crossed for next week! But honestly Iâm not really wanting for too much. Iâm excited for the circular delayâŚ
Well, I am. Thereâs all sorts of QOL improvements to be made to the device and its ecosystem.
I got money on it being late as heck being released!
Yeah, if they want to (and they really should) bring the unitâs (midi) functionality and the number of available effects on par with really all of their competitors they should start releasing smaller batches of functionality/effects upgrades and additions much quicker instead of beta testing everything at once which takes forever. I wanted to switch to QC much earlier and the promises of upcoming CoreOS 3 made me switch a few weeks ago from my fully loaded pedal board with a Stomp XL and Morningstar at the center. I do miss a hell of a lot of functionality and effects now. OTOH, the much better sound quality of this unit does make up quite a lot.
For sure, and thatâs what keeps me coming back. Iâve been frustrated a few times and tried other systems; Boss GT, ToneX, Line 6⌠but none of them sound as good, and ultimately thatâs what counts.
Totally agree about the update cycles. I donât need home runs. I want base hits.
Maybe/hopefully that will start to happen after this update.
It seems like a hell of a lot of the code has had to be completely rewritten for this update, so not something that could easily be done in small updates, and therefore requires a lot of testing.
Itâs much easier for some of the other companies (Line6/Fractal) who have a much older/more mature codebase to build from, as their updates are much smaller changes now.
Both those companies have been doing this for many years, and have already rewritten algorithms for different architecture, so have past experience and no doubt plans for how to deal with it in the future.
