Yeah, I got tired of fighting with it so I just have a tuner on my pedalboard too. It is a clunky implementation of a tuner that is not worthy of being on the QC. I know it may be easy to say and harder to do, but why can’t any foot switch be assignable to any other parameter?

I’d be happy if it didn’t take forever to get to the tuner. The hold seems insanely long compared to other devices. It’d also be nice if it didn’t go to a completely different screen when tapping tempos.
Yeh I don’t want that to be the only way, just an option for those of us who don’t use tap tempo and want a tuner instantly. I’ve Gone and bought myself an external tuner pedal now but would happily ditch it once neural give this as an option. Could literally just be a toggle switch in the settings menu to disable tap tempo and make the tuner not be a hold button but a tap.

can’t believe it wasn’t implemented yet

I know I’m probably just adding to the noise here, but I’d like to add a strong vote in favor of implementing some sort of instant tuner option.
At gigs I often use the tuner to mute signal between songs to reset my board (disable an overdrive and boost I’d engaged for an outro solo, for example) or change guitars. More importantly, if I notice a tuning issue mid-song it’s imperative that I can fix it as quickly as possible.

I would agree with your request. One thing I miss about my Kemper Stage is the always-on tuner feature and that it has a dedicated tuner button. That being said, the Kemper Stage is much bigger and has more room for more buttons, so size is a trade-off. It seems your best option is a dedicated tune, like maybe a TC Polytune (or mini) set with the mute off so you can see if you are out of tune while playing. I don’t have a solution suggestion for an instant mute AND have an always-on tuner, other than making another box with a switch to mute your signal with a single quick press. I would like an always-on tuner, and then make the bank up button a dedicated tuner/mute, and use the rotary encoder of that button to change presets. I only use 3 presets so bending over to turn a knob a couple of times per set is no big deal for me. How about letting us set what the bank up and bank down buttons do?
Does anyone know of a tuner that can be always on, but still mute? THAT could be the workaround.
I use an expression pedal configured as a volume pedal in every preset just before reverb and delay blocks. Dedicated tuner (Boss Tu-3) always on and can easily kill everything at the end of the song or during gaps for a bit of emergency tuning of the G string (Les Paul).

While tap tempo IS essential (to me) tuner DOES take forever to turn up
There could be a menu in settings to be able to choose how long to take to bring on the tuner (500ms, 1s, 2s)

Well, so close yet so far. It’s great to have this new option which was implemented in CorOS 2.3.0. But double tapping isn’t the same as instant access to the tuner, which doubles as a mute switch. Not sure why this was not implemented like suggested and voted for.

Neural almost always implements a weird workaround instead of the requested change / addition or a well thought out solution. Not sure why tho.

True. Neural has the ONLY unit with rotary encoders, and they don’t take advantage of the potential of letting the user choose what they do. I don’t tour anymore and just do a ton of local 3-hour cover gigs. We play about 35 songs per show, and I’m on ONE preset for over 30 of those songs. I barely touch the bank up/bank down buttons, so those are two buttons I could potentially use for something else if banks could be changed by turning one of the encoders. IDK, maybe the encoders turn when you press them with your foot creating another problem, but it just seems like such untapped potential. Another option might be to assign other functions to the bank up/down buttons and add a 2/3-button midi controller for banking.
I wonder how many of us are using the QC as designed as a standalone unit. I keep seeing guys adding QCs to ginormous pedalboards with tons of unnecessary stomps and MIDI controllers and may not even touch their QC during a gig. Bigger acts, like Megadeth, put their QCs in a rack drawer, so button assignment is irrelevant to them.
Maybe NDSP will have time to explore features like this after the promised features have all been resolved (eg plug-in compatibility). It doesn’t seem like it would be that hard, since we already have some latitude with buttons A-H. Thanks to NDSP for all they have already done. For me, the QC is almost perfect. So much so that i just bought a 2nd as a backup and I’m selling my Kemper Stage.

I also feel this way about how several features on the QC have been implemented. Clearly there are some really ingenious developers and designers at Neural as their approach has been so unique in many respects, the actual build of the QC and their approach to capture and modeling being prime examples. The UI has enormous potential when/if several of the tweaks users have been clamoring for get delivered.
They definitely know how to think out of the box. Seems like too far out sometimes, at the cost of usability. There is still a path here for a modeler that sets itself apart in a very positive way from the other offerings out there.
Seems like something needs to change in their design and developer meetings so that when they are planning new functionality, they do a better job of nailing it the first time. Whether from their customers, or in-house, make sure the studio rats and performing musicians have adequate input into future development. They seem to start off with some great ideas and veer off the road at the last second. Delivering great concepts that are just not quite hitting the mark when it comes to applying them in real-time.
Neural deserves time to mature and maybe some of this is just growing pains but the time between updates makes it frustrating to watch new features be delivered that just seem a bit “off”. Lots to love with this device, hoping it all pulls together with future updates.
A freely configurable button assignment layout would be the solution to all problems regarding the buttons. By this I mean, firstly, a global user layout and a preset layout, which overwrites the the global button assignments in the preset if necessary.
That would make the QC almost perfect and also solves the problem with the unreachable looper in scene mode.

Does anyone know how to reset the tempo ? I accidentally push the tap tempo button while trying to activate the tuner and now my delay repeat itself constantly
happens to me often, as far as i know there is no “undo” button, you just have to tap the tempo back to whatever you had it before the mistake
