    is there a certain "standard" hookup for the Axe-Fx III?

    The Axe-Fx III actually has the "secret sauce" on both the front and rear instrument inputs: https://wiki.fractalaudio.com/wiki/index.php?title=Connections_and_levels#Secret_Sauce_on_the_instrument_input

    Axe-Edit to support "SideCar"

    You can do this right now with Axe-Edit as this is functionality built into MacOS and iPadOS (assuming your Mac and iPad meet the requirements). Axe-Edit does not need to do anything special to support SideCar - just drag the Axe-Edit window to the iPad display when you have connected the iPad...

    Guitar / Computer Chair?

    Another huge thumbs up for SoundSeat. I bought mine in 2008 and it still works great - never had an issue with it. Might be more expensive than a cheap chair elsewhere, but it is a quality product and mine still looks new. I needed to change the gas lift cylinder height at one point and the...

    FC-12 Default Layout 7 Not Acting Right

    While your point is valid regarding customizability, there is still the fundamental issue that a global bank size actually makes no sense and causes issues like this (as I reported in that other thread).

    Question: Can you do this?

    See the "PER-PRESET METHOD 1: OVERRIDES" section on page 34 of the manual. This section explains exactly what you need to do. It seems like you have some confusion on what is possible. To be clear, you can define the global behavior for any switch on any layout to have a layout link for tap or...

    FC-6 First Impressions

    I think he means about at the 9:13 mark, but it is really just the way the camera is picking up the color (e.g. bright red vs dim red for scene on/off) as it is not possible to have different colors for different states of a button. It just kind of looks that way in the video.

    Wish Bank Size Per Layout

    Exactly, and on the FC-12 that is what factory layouts 7 and 1 do, respectively. It doesn't seem that a global bank size makes sense on the FC in the way it did on the MFC-101. On the FC, the bank size (as far as I can tell) is really only there to support the preset in bank switch functions...

    Wish Bank Size Per Layout
