Weird Quad Cortex Sounds

- Everyone is making the same video over and over again about the Quad Cortex: "How to get that sweet, sweet clean tone" or "that killer distortion" or "the tight djent sound." Who cares.
Here are some ways you can make some weird sounds with the Quad Cortex to get inspired.
No, I'm not sponsored and I wasn't paid to make this video. I am just a guitar nerd. I have no affiliation with Neural DSP and I barely understand how to use the product.
Thanks to the Club Weird members who encouraged me to release this video!

As a bassist with a helix that does weird shit, I already know this is exactly the kind of channel I wanna see flourish.
finally a good video about QC
Really enjoyed hearing you make weird music sounds with that device.
Quad cortex does not get the respect it deserves. People were just weirded out over the initial lack of pc software interface and the plugin integration, but the unit itself is amazing. Not just for guitar but for synths. I haven’t even scratched the surface on what it can do. The size and power of the unit make it perfect for me and my needs. The sound quality impressed me the most. I like not having to buy a wall of amps because the cloud service offers a wealth of tones that I would not be able to do so with otherwise.
Cool to see finally someone making an out of the box video about the Quad
Really cool stuff
I’d love it if u could lower the background music in the mix at the beginning of the video it’s kinda hard to understand u over it 😕
Other than that great video ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
A lot of the sounds you demo sound like extreme reverb, or granular synthesis. Very interesting stuff. Nice to hear a 'weird musician' perspective on the unit.
I don't know what's going on, but it's fun and it doesn't sound like a guitar. I'm sure there's a TON more the unit can do that I just don't know about yet.
Awesome looking Ibanez!! Thanks for the vid!
Thanks Dave. It’s the rg9 but painted by my neighbor.
@@MakeWeirdMusic Beautiful paint job!!!
Awesome Video Anthony!
Thank you!
Awesome vid 😊
This is my favorite Quad Cortex video so far
Thank you, Eric! It's a great creative tool, not just a good set of pedals
So you’re saying you’re not a Djentleman. I respect that! This thing has some very interesting sounds.
Well, I probably am a closet Djentleman hahaha
Fun stuff Anthony! Congratulations on the new tech Sir
11:00-11:32 oh yes that’s fun!
Thanks Poo!
@@MakeWeirdMusic I remember the crazy things I would do with my Art sgx2000 and the dual expression controllers on the X15 , crazy dual pitch shiftery and stereo dly with up to I think 16 real-time variables … so fun , I remember making a Wha with just an expression controller and so many parameters of the EQ. ooh I miss my younger days of deep gear programming for no other reason than fun.
I had a sound that made the old transformers cartoon “transformer” sound . So fun.
Excellent
Thanks Denis!
@@MakeWeirdMusic with pleasure 👍
It'd be cool to hear the full version of the "Arctic Cave" soundscape some day :D
Thanks Victor. Club Weird members have access to the full video. This one is 3 minutes shorter than the preview they got.
James Plotkin has been combining his guitar as and oscillator, and using two Neural DSP’s through modular synths. I’d been lobbying Eurorack synth builders to incorporate guitar pedals into Eurorack. ;) The issue with DSP guitar processing is first a lot of programming and knowledge of the technical side of sound creation and then one has to be able to combine it all in the fly with foot pedals, time reference/clock and the human side of jamming with a band. That’s why I think pedal boards for jamming are better and then all in one DSP is better AFTER someone integrates it into songs and tempo, key changes and a little room for stretching out with live improvisations. It’s almost better to keep it simile and add things one step at a time. As you can hear with pedals like the MIcrocosm (just one of many) with minor tweaks and some expression you can be in a whole new sonic galaxy. Great for ideas, just as jamming with ChatGPT is fodder for creative stepping stones. Enjoy and hopefully see you at the next CON! ✌🏼
Wild! Great video Anthony, but I'd to suggest you mix your background music much lower as it seemed to compete with your voice in the first part of the video
Oh dang, did I screw something up? I should have double checked.
Yeah, I should have listened closer to the beginning. It's not too bad, though. THanks for the heads up
Well, might be interesting if my Eventide lets me down, although the non-racked form-factor is rather a no-go-zone in terms of practical use, I like weird effects too, but when it comes to the core sound, I mean the amp modelling, it has the same teeth-grinding effect on me as all the others (AxeFX, Kemper, NI G-Rig, Amplitube, VG-99, etc etc etc). Since, despite Yan Maresz (IRCAM pundit) sent a call to define a notation for sounds' grain, there is still none, I will go on using smells or tastes to describe what a grain makes me feel, e.g. the caps I use in my tube amps bring a chocolate stuffed with orange marmelade feel (note: some -rare- cap values ended with €10-30 parts, the "standard" ones I use for amp upgrades cost around 4-6x what is used by Mesa/Boogie)
Modelling stuff truly reminds me my hi-school chemistry lessons, but I'm not sure if it's the smell of hydrochloric or sulphuric acid...
Playing some Ligeti? Aren't you a bit on the masochist side?
I think I've chosen the Brian Eno way: I'm WAY too lazy to even consider this (or Fracture. Note that I liked your book a lot... Well, actually, even Eno works more than I do: I've became a master of escapism)...Kızılçay declared about Eno: "he cannot even play four bars ...[nor] play two harmonies together. [...]"
Just when I thought we'd successfully killed off Thall/technical extreme death metal... 😅 😉
Sick guitar design, Anthony...and nice playing too! Those bottom strings instantly remind me of my GOATS from Sweden. 😁😎
Have you heard the new 05Ric track, LMKRD? It's a tribute to Jeff Beck. Pretty cool as always from Ric.
Death metal will live forever!!
The guitar has been a great instrument. A bit unwieldy but a lot of fun.
Haven’t listened to Ric’s new piece but I’ll check it out.
Enjoy the new extension of your imagination, Anthony! A new axe or new addition to your rig can lead to thinking about your instrument in new ways and spark creativity. Enjoy the journey!
Btw: Bach is for shredders; you may be more metal than you give yourself credit for. Awesome axe!
Thank you, Greg! And you're probably right. I'm more of a shredder haha
oh man !
Super cool bit of kit, eh?
Hello Sir,
First, thank you for your work, I follow your channel since many years. I'm coming from France so excuse me for my sloppy english.
I know this comment is off topic but I had to choose some place to ask you about this. If I'm not mistaken, you don't still have bring up the subject of AI.
Tomorrow, who will be able to make the difference between a real artist and a guy who will have used an AI to make nice and sophisticated music ?
Services already exist that allow people to have their instrumental piece made by an AI, those companies arguing that people don't need any musical skills to express themselves.
As a composer wannabe, who took many years to study music theory, orchestration and so on, this evolution is very castrating, and I'm asking to me if I should reorientating myself.
Will we have your views on this subject in a coming video ? Many viewers would be interesting, I think.
Thank you! I’ll think about it. I’m at an AI conference this week!
plz upload patch?
They’re the default patches built into the unit.
I thought you were playing a skateboard then realized it was your fretboard. As a 6 string player myself I’m actually a bit scared of your guitar tbh.
Thank you 😂
