Neural DSP Releases CorOS and Cortex Control 4.1.0, Delivering Plugin Compatibility to All X-Updated Plugins

HELSINKI, FINLAND – Neural DSP today announced the release of CorOS 4.1.0 and Cortex Control 4.1.0, the biggest CorOS update in the company's history. The release expands Plugin Compatibility to five additional plugins – bringing every currently available X-updated plugin to Quad Cortex and Quad Cortex mini – while introducing Device Presets, eight new Virtual Devices, and workflow enhancements that make building, managing, and performing with rigs faster and more flexible than ever.

With Plugin Compatibility now available for Archetype: John Mayer X, Archetype: Petrucci X, Archetype: Misha Mansoor X, Archetype: Rabea X, and Archetype: Tim Henson X, users gain access to more than 70 additional amps, cabinets, and effects that can be combined seamlessly with native CorOS devices and Neural Captures.The release also introduces Device Presets, one of the most significant workflow improvements ever added to Quad Cortex. Rather than saving an entire rig, users can now save the settings of individual Virtual Devices, including amps, cabinets, drives, effects, and utility blocks, and instantly recall them across any preset. CorOS 4.1.0 launches with more than 2,000 Factory Device Presets, while also allowing musicians to create and organize their own custom Device Presets for faster sound design."CorOS 4.1.0 represents a major milestone for the Quad Cortex ecosystem," said Francisco Cresp, Neural DSP CPO and Co-Founder. "With Plugin Compatibility now spanning every X-updated plugin in our lineup, alongside powerful new workflows like Device Presets, we're giving musicians even more freedom to create, experiment, and move between software and hardware without compromise."
The update also brings eight new Virtual Devices for every Quad Cortex and Quad Cortex mini user. New additions include the Multivoicer harmonizer, Glitch granular delay, Ring Modulator, Arpeggio Delay, Crystal Delay, Vintage Digital Reverb, Douglas Shining Comp (based on the Hyper Luminal® compressor by Darkglass Electronics®) and Plugin Parametric-4 EQ.CorOS 4.1.0 features Dual Footswitch Assignments, allowing supported devices to assign secondary functions independently from bypass control, opening up new performance possibilities in Stomp Mode. Additional enhancements include redesigned Favorites and Recent menus, Device Presets for I/O Settings and Global EQ, updated Plugin Presets, including new custom Grid layouts and Scene-based organization for John Petrucci presets, improved USB audio stability when using Quad Cortex or Quad Cortex mini as a USB audio interface, and numerous usability and performance improvements throughout the platform.What's New: Cortex Control 4.1.0Cortex Control 4.1.0 adds Multiple Device Management, enabling musicians to connect and manage multiple Quad Cortex and Quad Cortex mini units simultaneously from a single computer. Users can switch between connected devices without reconnecting cables, assign custom names to each unit, and seamlessly move between hardware setups.The update also brings full support for managing Device Presets, I/O Settings Presets, and Global EQ Presets directly within Cortex Control, alongside additional interface refinements and workflow improvements.

"Every CorOS release is about making Quad Cortex a more powerful creative platform," said Douglas Castro, Neural DSP CEO and Co-Founder. "This update is our biggest yet, not only because of the amount of new functionality we've added, but because it fundamentally changes how quickly musicians can build sounds, move between devices, and bring our entire plugin ecosystem into their hardware workflow."
