January 2, 2024 · 1 sources
Neural DSP announced on January 2, 2024 that the public release of Cortex Control 1.0.0 and CorOS 2.3.0 are available1. CorOS 2.3.0 is required to run the public release of Cortex Control, and the firmware is downloaded through Settings > Device Options > Device Updates on the Quad Cortex once it is connected to Wi-Fi1. Cortex Control is downloaded from the company's Downloads page1.
The CorOS 2.3.0 changelog lists MIDI Clock Out, which lets the Quad Cortex send outgoing MIDI Clock via USB, DIN, and USB+DIN, along with pinned devices, a "Made by Me" filter for captures, a global Stomp Mode bypass assignment setting, an option to swap Tempo and Tuner access on the bottom-right footswitch, and a new Reset menu within Device Options1. The Graphic-9 EQ device received a UI overhaul, its HPF parameter range is now OFF-500Hz, and an LPF parameter was added to the second tab of parameters1. The update also fixes a list of issues, including Tape Delay (M) loading the default Preset tempo BPM when changing Scenes and favorited Presets being left out of Cloud and local backups1.
The Cortex Control 1.0.0 changelog repeats the MIDI Clock Out, pinned devices, "Made by Me" filter, Stomp Mode bypass assignment, Tempo and Tuner swap and Reset menu additions, and lists its own fixes, among them crashes tied to deleting backups and Setlists and a CPU percentage meter that did not consistently match the one on the Quad Cortex1.
"We are pleased to announce that the public release of Cortex Control 1.0.0 and CorOS 2.3.0 are now available!"
Neural DSP thanked participants in the open beta for their feedback, which it said was helpful in finalising the release, and recommended creating a backup before updating firmware1. The Quad Cortex is a multi-effects unit covered in our multi-effects pedals section.
