Welcome to Quad Cortex

When we started Quad Cortex, we had no idea what we were
getting into. Naïvete can be a good thing.

It took more time, effort, and resources than we could have

ever imagined. It forced us to level up at a dizzying pace and to
overcome countless challenges.

Quad Cortex was as much engineered as it was willed into

existence. And none of it would matter if it wasn’t for your belief in
us and what we stand for.

For that, we will be forever grateful

Neural DSP Team.

Welcome to Quad Cortex 4

What is Quad Cortex?

Vulgar Display of Power
Quad Cortex is the most powerful floor modeler on the planet.
With a total of 6 cores (4x SHARC®+ and 2x ARM Cortex-A5
running at 500MHz each) of dedicated DSP, this ludicrous
amount of processing capacity provides limitless sound design
possibilities. Because of that, Quad Cortex can process up to four
instruments at the same time with independent effects chains and
send them through different outputs separately.

Unparalleled Intuitiveness & Flexibility

With its massive 7” display, Quad Cortex is unbelievably easy to
use. Effortlessly create even the most complex signal paths.
This includes features like dragging-and-dropping blocks
to change the order or routing in seconds or visualizing and
controlling the settings of inputs and outputs with one swipe.

Unbelievably Strong & Compact

Quad Cortex comes in a gorgeous anodized aluminum unibody,
with laser engraved graphics that never fade. Our display is
armored with a chemically strengthened protective glass and a
reinforced touch sensor panel.
Using advanced mechanical design and manufacturing techniques,

Preset is loaded.

Optimizing performance
Quad Cortex is a DSP (Digital Signal Processing) unit. Different virtual
device blocks require more DSP power than others. To get the most
out of Quad Cortex, it is important to understand the following:

• The number of device blocks in a Preset has a great impact on

CPU usage.
• Rows 1-2 and Rows 3-4 on The Grid utilise different processor
cores. If all of your device blocks are placed in Rows 1 and 2,
you’re only using half of Quad Cortex’s power. For resource-
hungry Presets, try splitting your blocks across all four rows.
• The maximum load is up to 90%. Beyond that, the audio and
operating system performance may be compromised.
• Time effects like Reverbs or Delays have the highest CPU
usage. EQ, Compressor, Wah, and FX Loop blocks have the
lowest CPU usage.
• Some devices may use more DSP than others in the same
category. This is especially true with amp devices.
• Use Scene Mode to change parameters in devices instead of Check the Scene Mode section

Presets
Presets allow you to create and save custom
rigs/signal chains for later use by using device
blocks. Quad Cortex Presets are organized in
to Setlists, which can contain 32 banks of 8

Can a single expression pedal with dual TRS

outputs be connected to Quad Cortex?
Many expression pedals include dual TRS outputs, each one associated
with different parameters such as heel-toe sweep control or a physical
toe-switch.

Connecting each TRS output of an expression pedal to both EXP inputs

of Quad Cortex allows you to control a parameter position and bypass
the device block with the toe-switch at the same time.

1. Connect both TRS cables to EXP1 and EXP2 inputs of Quad Cortex.
Swipe down the screen to access the I/O Settings menu. Calibrate both
POSITION knobs then save the changes.

2. Tap a block on The Grid, tap the contextual menu, then select
“Assign Expression Pedal”. Choose the Expression input 1. If the TRS
connected to it corresponds to the heel-toe sweep, assign it to the
parameter you want to control.

Tap when you are ready.

3. Tap the same block on The Grid, tap the contextual menu, then select
“Assign Expression Pedal” again. Choose the Expression input 2 this
time. If the TRS connected to it corresponds to the physical toe-switch,
assign it to the BYPASS parameter.

4. Select the Switch mode then press the toe-switch. You can revert
the range if the value is inverted. Turn on the LATCH EMULATION if the
expression pedal includes a momentary toe-switch.
Presets 33

Are the assignments remembered while

switching presets and scenes?
The EXP inputs assigned to a device block can be remembered by
using the “Set parameters as defaults” option after assigning an
expression pedal to a parameter.
The parameter position and the toe-switch polarity are not
remembered while saving Presets. The current parameter position
and toe-switch state are maintained while loading presets.
When a parameter is assigned to an expression pedal, the Scene
data is also ignored for that parameter.

What expression pedals are supported?

Quad Cortex is compatible with many different expression pedals.
Devices with the following features should function correctly:

• Single TRS expression output (Wah or Volume outputs are not

supported).

• Dual TRS outputs (Sweep control and toe-switch dedicated

outputs).

• Latching toe-switch.

• Momentary toe-switches will only work when latching

emulation is set to “On”.

• Linear or logarithmic curve.

• Minimum value knob.

• Polarity/Reverse function.

• BALANCE KNOB: Sets the signal mix between the Row and the
Splitter/Mixer path (0.50 by default).

A/B: Uses independent knobs for each row.

• LEVEL TO A KNOB: Sets the amount of signal to the row.
• LEVEL TO B KNOB: Sets the amount of signal to the Splitter/
Mixer path.

Crossover: Splits the signal into independent frequency bands

that are sent separately.

• FREQUENCY KNOB: Sets the frequency cut value.

• MODE SWITCH: Swaps the band assignment.

Splitter Stereo Switch

This switch determines the Splitter behavior while using stereo
sources like Input 1/2, Return 1/2, USB input 5/6 and USB input 7/8.
• Split Mode: Sends the right input (Input 2, Return 2, USB input
6 or 8) to the Splitter/Mixer path.
• Normal Mode: Sends both left and right inputs to the Splitter/
Mixer path.

Mixer settings:
Depending on the Mixer location and Splitter settings, the Mixer
can receive input signal from two sources at the same time.

feeding the Mixer input. Use the following parameters in order to
control the signal levels.

• LEVEL A KNOB: Sets the row signal level.

• PAN A KNOB: Controls the panning of the row.
• LEVEL B KNOB: Sets the Splitter/Mixer level.
• PAN B KNOB: Controls the panning of the Splitter/Mixer path.
• PHASE SWITCH: Inverts the phase of the signal workflow.

Quad Cortex can receive CC and PC messages via MIDI DIN or
USB. You can use external devices to change Presets and for other
features.

Receiving MIDI Program Change messages (PC)

Incoming MIDI Program Change messages change Presets and
Setlists on Quad Cortex.
• We use CC#32 for changing Setlists, supporting up to 128
Setlists (value 0-127).
• CC#0 is used for splitting up the Setlists in to groups of 128
Presets. CC#0 value 0 is used for Presets 0-127 and CC#0
value 1 is used for Presets 128-256.

F.A.Q.
Can I load Neural DSP plugins on my Quad
Cortex unit?
You are able to log in to your Neural DSP account on your Quad
Cortex. Doing so will give it access to your account billing history
and make the plugins you have purchased available.

This feature will be available through a free update after launch.

Cortex?
You can update to the latest version of CorOS in the Settings by
opening the Main Menu at the top-right corner of the The Grid.

Go to Device Options, make sure your Quad Cortex is connected

to Wi-Fi, and tap Device updates. If an update is available, it will
download immediately.

After installing an update, you will need to reboot your Quad

Cortex.

What is FRFR and why do you recommend it?

FRFR means “full range, flat response”. It describes a “neutral”
speaker or speaker system designed to reproduce the entire
human audible spectrum of 20Hz – 20kHz without any emphasis.

This kind of speaker is great for the Quad Cortex because you
get the truest representation with the cabinet simulator and
microphone placement.

Examples of FRFR systems include high-quality studio monitors

direct guitar and bass guitar applications.

Can I connect the Quad Cortex to an

Yes, but there is a reason behind recommending FRFR devices

instead of running Quad Cortex into setups that could color the
signal.
F.A.Q. 117

M
Cortex with an FRFR device is the best way to take full advantage
of the tonal capabilities without introducing undesired tone
coloration.

If you want to use Quad Cortex with a tube or solid-state amp, we

recommend trying the 4 Cable Method.

Do the inputs support a variety of powered

instruments?
Yes. Input impedance and gain are adjustable via the I/O Settings
screen.

How can I take advantage of the ground-

cancelling outputs (Send 1-2)?
This feature works by connecting Quad Cortex to external devices

the TRS tip to the Quad Cortex and the TS tip to the external
device.

IN TS

TRS

SEND 1 OR SEND 2

Both Sends 1 and 2 support this feature.

Is there gapless switching between Scenes

& Presets?
Preset changing will incur in the inevitable familiar gap. You can
use Scene and Stomp modes to change sounds while maintaining
delay trails without any crossfade/gaps.
F.A.Q. 118

Can I load third party or my own custom

Impulse Responses?
Yes. Impulse Responses can be uploaded via Cortex Cloud and
downloaded on your Quad Cortex.

What do MSB and LSB mean?

They mean and .

A program change that also selects a bank is composed of three

MIDI messages:

CC#0: Bank Select (MSB)

• Value 0: Preset group 0~127
• Value 1: Preset group 128~256

CC#32: Setlist (LSB)

• PC#: Program Change message 0~127

I’m hearing audio crackle noise and pops...

Check all your cables. We recommend looking for damage in both
long and short cables. Next, check if any of the I/O is clipping in
the I/O Settings or if any block is clipping on The Grid.

Excessive CPU usage may also be the cause. Is the CPU meter
above 80% or 90%? If so, you may have overloaded the current
Preset.

My Preset produces no sound at all…

Is every physical component working properly? Check your cables,
the connections, and make sure the VOLUME KNOB is raised.

After that, take a look at The Grid. Are the input and output blocks

Finally, take a look at the I/O Settings. Maybe some of the GAIN
knobs are all the way down.
