Advancing every year, digital guitar amp and effects modeling is now largely on par with the “real” thing. The latest company to introduce an improvement is Neural DSP, well-known for their Quad Cortex modeler. And now, their primary product has had a major software update with CorOS 1.4.0.
Primarily, Quad Cortex now has the much-anticipated Minivoicer. Along with that, there are 9 new amp models, 3 new overdrives, 10 effects, a bunch of new features, and some minor changes and fixes.
The Minivoicer in question is an “intelligent” algorithm that allows you to have two pitch-shifted voices over the main signal. Using the library, you can control the root note, create chords, harmonize in modes, and even arpeggiate.
As for the aforementioned 9 new amps, the full list goes like this:
- Bogna Uber Clean (Bogner®Überschall®Rev. Blue-Clean)
- Bogna Uber Lead (Bogner®Überschall®Rev. Blue-Lead)
- D-Cell Hisbert Ch1 (Diezel®Herbert®-Ch1)
- D-Cell Hisbert Ch2 (Diezel®Herbert®-Ch2)
- D-Cell Hisbert Ch3 (Diezel®Herbert®-Ch3)
- US HP Tweed TWN Bright (Fender®High Power Tweed Twin®5F8-A®-Bright)
