New plugin? Plugins on QC???
2 Likes
This is the typical campaign template for a new plugin, so i would expect that. Thatâs what pays the bills.
However; who knows how theyâll announce QC compatibility? Hate to get my hopes up, but they did say theyâd announce something before the end of the year (which is RAPIDLY approaching)
Either way, weâll know 4 days from now

I really hope itâs not a modelling amp. I donât want them to release more hardware until they at least deliver everything they promised for QC.

Unfortunatly, I wouldnât hold my breath for a QC related announcementâŚ
Itâs been a long time I no longer trust any promises from NDSP (especially NOT deadline-related statementsâŚ)
I have my QC since 2 years now, and if the QC is nowadays much better than 2 years ago, it is still plagued with flaws, several of them beeing very basic stuff (like a nested-folder file system, a universal âfavoritesâ system , a multiple user template for blocks, decent MIDI , and so onâŚ.)
I donât think weâll see something âwell before the end of yearâ (NDSP words here) concerning the QC. They wouldnât release something âbigâ just before the holidays breakâŚ
Honestly, I no longer have any expectations from them, and each time I receive a plugin-related email, it goes direct to the trash without reading it.
After the 2.0 release last year, I genuinely believed they would respect their promises about faster release cycle (the famous âAgressive updatesâ) , but in fact they did the opposite !
This is so frustating to see such a waste of potential because of poor product management, unrealistic promises from the marketing side, and cahotic customer relationship communicationâŚ

I also wouldnât hold my breath. âEnd of the yearâ for NDSP usually means May the next year.

What announcement / news are you referring to?
not sure about the âwell before the end of the yearâ part, but they did say (In early August): "Plugin compatibility is also progressing well. We will be releasing compatible plugins in batches, and the first batch of plugins will be announced later this year."
This one :
âCortex Control is in a very good state. We hope to release a public beta version in the coming months and launch well before the end of the year.â
They did that. The beta of Cortex Control has been out for quite some time now.

Cortex Control is still in Beta (and not very stable, it crashes often)
âLaunchâ refers to the âNon-Betaâ (a.k.a General Public Release) and v1.0 âstableâ release. (at least everywere else but NDSP âŚ.)
The v1.0 is probably not too far away (as well as the first wave of Plugins for QC) , but it is still not there , and we still have no news about the âfirst waveâ of QC compatible plugins⌠(technically, thereâs still a few days before the end of year, but I highly doubt that weâll see anything concrete this yearâŚ)
Maybe January 2024 will be a good month, may be⌠

Anybody want to buy a QC?
I share a lot of your frustration. I think, and I guess you think so too, that the QC right now is pretty much where it should have been at launch. So everything is set back about 2 years.
However, they wrote: "We hope to release a public beta version in the coming months and launch well before the end of the year.â
That is clearly an estimation. Not a promise or a deadline.
Wait⌠wait⌠wait a bit longer! 
This suggests to me that itâs a N DSP amp head (which can run plug-ins and maybe connect to the QC) and Flat Response speaker cab:-(
Itâs another Archetype suite. They release these teaser videos with each new plug-in.

Would be sweet if they announced a new plug-in and that it was an âXâ version, QC compatable straight away - andâŚfree to all QC early adopters.

I canât remember if Plini X came with a teaser video- Iâm thinking it didnât? Since technically it is an update of a pre-existing Plug. Anyone remember?
I donât care if plugins ever come to the QC. I want more midi control and better/more effects.

Very unlikely, as they already said that Plini X will be the first plugin to be ported to the QC.

there will likely be a thing like kuassa and mercurial, all in one plugins that swaps GUIs and IRs., at least it will share the pitch-transpose
