While PCOM is certainly the dev team’s white whale, they have revealed to us that several non-PCOM things will also be wrapped up in the CorOS 3.0 release (yay sidechains!). Working on an update as big as 3.0 means you have draw a line somewhere on the feature set.
Once 3.0 is out–and immediate hot fixes taken care of because we know that will happen–I’m betting the devs will have a lot more breathing room to tackle QoL improvements.
I do hope so (and I have no idea what side-chains are so it will be interesting to see!) I would personally have preferred it if they fixed the basic stuff like getting the UI right first - but I do wait in hope…
I would assume it’s something along the lines of; lots of little updates still require lots of testing each time. Roll a bunch of updates out together, and it all gets tested by their user group simultaneously, rather than each feature getting rolled out to testers, each thing potentially coming back with bugs, then a subsequent small feature update causes issues with a previous one, each requiring a fix and more testing.
It could quickly become a clusterfuck.
I’m playing an early access game right now and participate with the one man developer routinely as he updates and ADDS the things coming like the big dynamic campaign and other some key points. BUT I knew going in AND the developer is quite open about where he is at and what is next and why something didn’t come out and if we find a minor bug he takes care of it in the next update which are between 2 - 4 weeks each.
He COMMUNICATES with his customers and when he doesn’t meet a promised or even estimated date explains why. He certainly doesn’t say he expects or has a target date of such-and-such for something major and when that doesn’t happen just crickets and then a vague, still working on it all no details, message.
That level of communication would certainly be preferable!
I don’t expect that our Quality of Life requests will be implemented right after the release of CorOS 3.0.
Initially, with the introduction of PCOM on the Quad Cortex, only the Gojira and Plini plugins will be available.
In my opinion, NDSP will first try to port all other X plugins to the QC.
I don’t expect the feature requests to be implemented before then.
Oh, yes., absolutely - to be clear I wasn’t suggesting they roll out lots of small updates individually, I was saying that I wish they’d fix all the little things that may be of minor importance individually but when combined with the numerous other small things, make the QC sometimes very frustrating to use. And I’m perfectly happy for them to do this all at once in one big update.
That would be a serious error of judgement. As a newish user I expect the 3.0 update to deliver what should have been in the unit a long time ago, that’s why I waited so long to buy my QC. Not talking about the plugins, not waiting for those at all.
What’s going to happen when Line 6 release their next gen Helix? They had years and years to hone that to perfection and I expect nothing less than a fully loaded unit of outstanding quality when it comes out, possibly witin a year.
How many QC users will then stick around waiting until Neural finally delivers the functionality they promised when they released the unit? QoL improvements and bug fixes should be all the way on top of their to do list, together with the plugin stuff for those who bought the unit for that reason.
BTW, I’m pretty amazed by the quality of my QC, even though a lot functions are still missing. My wife thinks I play much much better then before but that’s 100% due to the amazing sound quality.
Sigh, another weekend, no update.
Highly doubt the helix is updating to a new hardware unit in the next year
There was an update 10 days ago 
We’ll see. At one point they must release something to replace 10 year old tech. Despite how good it may still be.
If only there were some way to combine the functionality of the Helix with the sound of the QC…
…“soon” . 
The designers for helix have said it in interviews because people keep speculating there will be a refresh, but they plan on staying with helix
Yes, we know
I think we’ll receive a email when released
TEatime48 noted another weekend and no SOFTWARE update
tomfs noted said there was an update 10 days ago that was an email not software update.
just clarifying for lurkers
No, and I could have done with the update a few days ago - my wife and I did a gig yesterday in which I was trying to trigger backing tracks from a Boss looper at certain points in songs. Because the QC can’t send more than one MIDI message per footswitch I had to use an external MIDI controller to trigger the backing tracks on the external looper and also change Scenes on the QC.
Let’s just say there were a number of technical issues mid performance, leaving me with an increasing feeling that the pleasure of using the QC is starting to become outweighed by the frustrations! 
Why MIDI could not have been more enhanced in a separate update long go is confusing to say the least. What does it have to do with first the Core app and then plug-ins it’s a BASIC function of any multi-effects/modeler pedal. My old Avid Eleven Rack gave me complete control.
Is today the day? Place your bets.
Didn’t you test it beforehand??
A side note - I wish people would stop chatting in this thread, because I keep visiting the forum, and before my eyes get across to “#48”, I get all excited that today’s the day. STOP BUMPING THIS THREAD!
