Awesome! Can’t wait for 3.0. I’ll definitely be using my Plini tones live. Thanks Neural 
How exciting! Really looking forward to it and wishing everyone a ton of fun with it and to the developers a well-earned holdiday 
I really hope this new CorOS 3 will implement in future updates the most requested features of this forum 
Upon the release of CorOS 3.0.0, Archetype: Gojira X and Archetype: Plini X will be compatible with Quad Cortex. Visit our Plugins page to purchase licenses for these plugins.
So essentially you get the priviledge of buying (licensing*) DLC - amazing stuff, can’t wait to purchase £100 DLC for my £1000 unit! How about other essential updates and features the unit should have had in the time it took to release this? Any new OD/modulation effects which the unit is lacking compared to the competition? No? Ok…
This post indicates the new FX coming to 3.0
Having a sidechain for the gate is amazing. Basically does what the fortin zuul does. Legendary. Plus transpose!!
I’ll bite. Give me a simple example of how a simple setup would use this sidechain and noise gate…don’t know much about them.
For higher gain stuff its very useful. Basically the gate uses the dry DI as the key for the gate to open/close. The gate itself would be placed after the amp on the QC (or in the effects loop of a real amp). Makes for a much more accurate gate that won’t be confused by the amp processing the signal.
Normal gates on the QC get tripped up by the amp compressing the signal. For higher gain especially (and even mid gain) stuff keying the gate from the DI is basically the norm and why people really like the Fortin Zuul in particular. Some other gates also have this function and why you’ll see the send/return on stuff like the boss NS-2, etc.
So the dry signal is flipping a switch in the Noise Gate which is routing the post amp signal, it’s just a relay signal to activate the switch.
Now when I do use a gate it just sits as the first thing in the signal chain to catch input noise, I run some pedals in front of the QC along with just standard PU noise, at a very low setting. Mostly clean and low gain stuff.
Still could be useful for low-mid gain stuff, but crucial for high gain where the amp will generate noise itself independent of anything from the guitar
I wonder if you can use the free trials once they’re installed on the QC, it would be nice to try out before buying the full license.
Not ON the QC itself, but you could on a computer (they addressed this a while back)
I remember QC owners who bought last year or some parameter received a free plug-in. Is Neural doing anything for owners who purchased previous to that?
This should be today if i’m not mistaken 
Yup. Assuming the German(?) screenshot was taken in Germany, ‘tomorrow’ was today, and working today is already over. 
Maybe they’re on US time? Although I thought they’re based in Finland…
Since NDSP announced the July 31st release for CorOS 3.0.0, there has been an uptick in the amount of social media content surrounding it.
If there’s going to be some sort of special gift for longtime QC owners, I assume that it’s going to be announced on social media accordingly.
EDIT: That was quick! New announcement posted minutes after I wrote this.
That screenshot I posted above was taken yesterday…
So there we have it - everyone gets a free plugin. Thanks NDSP!
A BIG “THANK YOU” to the NDSP team! I can’t wait to use/control my X plugins ON the QC! Great job!
I AM however disappointed that with this update we’re still waiting for independent, on/off midi control for each block. Why aren’t we seeing this? Forcing everything into the 8 switches is ridiculously frustrating. I DO love the small footprint of the QC but in a live situation the switches are just too close together so I’ve been looking for a midi foot-switch controller to use instead (i.e. controlling the QC remotely). 8 scenes is just NOT enough for an “on-the-fly” performance. I want to put ALL the blocks I need on the grid and program say…24 scenes + looper. Realistically, 3 amps (clean, crunch, solo) X 2 reverbs X 2 delays X chorus X tremolo X compression X (maybe) stomp OD, pretty basic stuff, CANNOT be done with 8 switches/scenes! I DO currently have the QC itself set up as stomps and another midi switcher (Airstep) set up to control my QC amps via scenes but I’m still find myself doing the “pedal dance” when switching back and forth…either that or I just say “screw it” and use a clean and OD sounds (I can do that with an amp and OD pedal! WTF?)
So, I’ll offer a BIG, THUMBS UP! to NDSP for giving us a great sounding device and ask once again (like I started doing 2 years ago) for on/off midi control of each block (PLEASE!!!)
