Having Rabea plugin is the only way to have decent synth sounds on QC? I have the SLO-100 X already (bought when discounted). I would consider Rabea plugin but it has no compatibility yet. Therefore I guess I will go with the Plini X just because I’m only using QC, not desktop. Any recommendations for synth tones with built-in effects? (Consider built-in after the update). ---

Not easily. This has led me to use an external pedal for synth sounds. Can’t wait for Rabea X to get to the QC. There are a couple factory presets that use the moogerfooger I think to generate some synth pads but I haven’t been able to use it to get a convincing synth lead for guitar yet. Can check out the preset I think it’s “toxic synth”. ---

Following up on this as I’ve been trying out the Headrush Core over the last few days, as it has a few advantages over the QC (for my uses anyway) and I’m quite impressed with it so far. One of the things I like the most is in the latest firmware update, they added a synth module to the Core/Prime, and it sounds fantastic t my ears; watch here, 1:30 in [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/neuraldsp/original/2X/e/e42517a4188b53d702a0358f6ec3bbc7a71f038a.jpeg "HeadRush | PRIME / Core 3.2 Firmware Update") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcY0QvIeYQQ&t=179s) I’ve tried a few of the more synth-like factory presets on the QC, and they’re all a bit ‘turned up to 11’ for my liking, I’d really like just some nice pad type sounds, but I haven’t managed to achieve anything like that on the QC. If anyone has any decent synth-like presets, please share! ---

It’s good to be happy with a certain product, I’m happy for you. But I never heard anything yet that beats the Rabea plugin for synth sounds. I assume the Pcom of that must be a really tough one, therefore I understand it will take some long time. But once done it will be sooooo fun 🙂 I stopped searching anything existing as nothing hits in the eye, will wait for the PCom. ---

Well I do have the Rabea plugin, so I’m waiting for that too - but so far I have found that the Headrush synth model tracking is actually/surprisngly better than the Rabea tracking (which I’m only able to use through my DAW at the moment of course) ---

I don’t think you will have something more with the rabea plugin when the synth block will finally be available. (exept some presets) The headrush sounds great imo, i’m really waiting NDSP for the synth, still think it will eventually beats all the others but let’s see. ---

Ah yes, I totally forgot about that synth block. It would be way better instead of the PCom for sure. But still a tough task. Hope they can apply soon.
