In mint/like-new condition, and barely used. Picked this up just a couple months ago but a combination of realizing I do in fact need more buttons/IO for my use-case + life being life means I can't hang on to this as planned. Played a standard QC for a few years, and this thing is every bit as powerful, and is perfect if you don't need more switches or the additional I/O of this one's big brother.

Includes all original packaging. Minimally used in a home studio environment. Unit has been factory reset and is ready for its new home.

See your entire rig at a glance.
The Grid is the visual workspace at the heart of Quad Cortex mini. It makes building, understanding, and modifying signal chains intuitive, with no menu diving or hidden layers

Create rigs by placing virtual device blocks across a clear, grid-based signal flow. Rearrange blocks freely, split signals into parallel paths, and route any part of your chain to different outputs with precision and confidence.

Complex setups stay readable. Simple ideas stay simple. Everything is exactly where you expect it to be.

Touchscreen and rotary footswitches
A 7" multi-touch display paired with four stainless steel rotary footswitches gives you responsive, tactile control at your fingertips and under your feet, whether you're editing sounds or performing.

Parameter Focus System
When a block is selected, the rotary footswitches automatically map to the most relevant parameters. This makes it easy to dial in sounds by ear, adjust settings quickly, and stay focused on playing instead of navigating menus.

Gig View
A high-contrast, performance-ready layout with large text and clear visual feedback. Opposite Page Preview shows assignments from the other Page at a glance, so you're never guessing mid-song.
