Quad Cortex Features

Quad Cortex

Hello there guys and girls.

I just migrated from Helix to Quad Cortex. I got mine yesterday… I didn’t sleep too much and I got some very good tones…

I don’t understand few things so… please bear with me and help IF you can.

  1. i have some great thirs party IR that I also used in few units including my ex Helix - very good ones
  • I have managed to upload them to the cloud pretty hard but I can’t load them on my QC. what am I doing wrong?
  • On th ecloud I only have the delete button for the IRs
  1. I want to finish a Steve Ray Vaughan preset which has a Rotary on it and I can’t seem to ASSIGN the FAST / SLOW Speed on a STOMP button so i can turn it on and or of from slow to fast…I don’t want to use an expression pedal - I would use a button as a stomp .

I have some other questions but these are bugging me so far .

Thank you

My name is MikeVlahopol on the cloud.
Follow me for cool tones and presets .
Much appreciated.

Do you have the ir’s on your pc… If so just drag and drop them into Cortex Control…once you do that they should be loaded on the QC…

I’m not near the QC to double check your other question at the moment

But you mite have to do it in scene mode so scene A can be slow and scene B it can be fast… That way you wouldn’t need to add unnecessary blocks to do one job

Pretty sure you can’t assign the speed of the rotary as a stomp. You can assign the rotary itself to a footswitch as a stomp. It’s possible you could have two rotary blocks. Assign the fast and slow each to a switch.

You’ll need to make it change with a scene if you want control of it further/use it as one block. QC footswitch assignments are different than Helix. Helix does allow you to basically do anything with footswitches, midi, etc. QC is a bit more limited

I am a new user and of course I have to learn a lot .

I don’t wanna sound impolite to the company but on the Helix you would right click on a button / long press and you can assign that function to whatever you want > pedal > button > efx pedal > whatever / wherever.

and I am sure this can be fixed with the next upgrade…
I am very conformable using both the Helix and the Quad on Hybrid mode …
4 presets + 4 scenes
on this scenario i am already losing 4 scenes (a to d) so making 2 scenes is not an option for me…

I already have a list with features that I can’t see on the Quad which I really miss.
Over all I think the Quad sounds better but I still would want to see things fixed and added … .

Thank you so much for your kind answers .

kind regards
