    Axe-Fx III Firmware 25.00 Release

    Fun fact: the "edit" led does not turn on by simply selecting a preset created on an earlier firmware. It does have to contain an amp block in order to auto-change values and cause the edited state, it appears.

    music collaboration software

    I used another software (jamulus), so I can only comment on that. From my understanding, ideally you'd have a server right in the middle of the participants, so the distance and delay would be half of your roundtrip example. Ouf course other latencies might come on top. Anyhow I agree, real time...

    Axe-Fx III Firmware 24.01 Release

    Usually that would be the case, but it was removed because of bugs. At the moment there's either 23.05 (final release) or 24.02 beta #1.

    SOLD Gordius Little Giant LG2

    There haven't been updates to the software/firmware and the editor software for a long time and I don't expect any. That said, I have not encountered any bugs and when I contacted Xavier in 2021 he was as quick responding and supportive as ever. For anyone interested: if the LG's feature set...

    This is the Saddest Picture I've Seen All Year

    Happy LG2 owner/user here, too. Since 2008 if memory serves me right. Had to get a new display 1,5 years ago. Service by and communication with Xavier was as great and immediate as ever. Top notch. Really sad to see him quit Gordius officially.

    Axe-Fx III Manual Update 20.x

    How do I do this in Windows or any program in Windows? I only can select one Axe-Fx III device which represents the USB 1/2 channels. In a DAW it's not a problem with all the input and output channels I get from the ASIO driver, but not in Windows. Windows 11 here, latest DSP and USB firmware...

    Electro-Voice PXM-12MP report

    Just put a very clean and single note into it (clean guitar, or higher note from bass guitar, or a sine wave) and listen to the decay. You don't need volume or a strong input signal. The distortion on the decaying note was not related to overdriving the input or turning up the output of the monitor.

    Electro-Voice PXM-12MP report

    FWIW, I just received a second PXM-12MP monitor from Thomann (Germany), which was on backorder, so I assume it was from a new delivery. Contrary to my first monitor I got one year ago, the new one doesn't have the problem with the distorted sound. So I hope it's a problem of the past and anyone...

    Splitting EQ Frequency of guitar input.

    +1 on the crossover block I did something similar in combination with the tremolo block(s), where I'd either apply the tremolo to only the upper frequency band, or where I'd use different tremolo settings for the different bands.

    Is recording music in parts cheating?

    I would not consider this cheating. It's kind of established practice and putting the possibilities of technology to use. If you have section A with an acoustic guitar and section B with an electric guitar, would you consider it cheating if you record it one after another because you need time...

    Axe-Fx Firmware Release Version 17.01 Release Candidate

    Don't know if it was introduced with this fw or earlier, but the comb filter delay type in the MultiDly block is addictive with just the stock settings already. How am I ever to get past scratching the surface? So many distracting toys :D

    Electro-Voice PXM-12MP report

    I've recorded two clips with the cell phone. One with bass guitar through Axe-Fx (just In1 -> Out1), the other with the Synth block (one voice, sine wave, some freq. between 100 and 200 Hz). I think it's especially noticeable with the sine wave, as the distortion changes with the volume. It...

    As this thread seems to have become the unofficial user thread - I got one from Thomann and unfortunately it also has the issue.

    Unwanted behaviour with default scene and MIDI (?)

    @Fotukito Hey. thank you. This is indeed the same issue. Cliff answered in your thread that the behaviour was by design, though I don't get the explanation: With "Ignore redundant PC" = off, the patch gets reloaded but with an audible dropout; with "Ignore redundant PC" = on the patch still...

    Thanks for the manual quote, I did not know about this. I do not use PC mapping though, so I guess this should have no effect.

    Unwanted behaviour with default scene and MIDI (?)

    Please excuse, but your first sentence doesn't make sense to me. Furthermore, neither am I using Ableton, nor is this about the AX3. I think I've explained clearly what I'm doing and the way the Axe-Fx III reacts is also understood; it's no mystery. The question is: is this behaviour known and...

    Unwanted behaviour with default scene and MIDI (?)

    Thank you all for the answers. You're right, sending the program change one time and then just scene changes should be enough most of the time and would of course avoid the unwanted behaviour. I chose to include the PC everytime to make sure I get to the right patch, whatever scene I might...

    Unwanted behaviour with default scene and MIDI (?)

    Hi folks, so far I didn't use the scenes in the Axe-Fx II & III, as I did all the programming (bypass states and channels) in my MIDI controller. But as I got the impression that scenes and their editing in Axe-Edit have come a long way, I'll probably change over to do what's possible with...

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Release Version 16.02

    Well, I sat down tonight to try out 16.02 and all the reworked preset banks.

I did not get past the very...

    USB disconnecting

    I noticed a (to me) new USB driver on the FAS homepage. It says "Jan 30th" but I think I checked regularly throughout past weeks and months and always so the latest driver being from 2018. So I haven't installed it yet. Anyone of you uses this driver and still experiences the problem?

    USB disconnecting

    Had this happening again. Unfortunately re-plugging the USB cable doesn't help. This is really annoying! As I mentioned above, the only change here is from Axe-Fx II mk. 1 to Axe-Fx III and I never had this happening with the II.

    USB disconnecting

    Experienced this now, too. Axe-Fx III with fw 3.01, Win10 laptop. Axe-Fx is hooked up via USB to laptop and via s/pdif to my monitors. Exactly as described above. USB output buffer drops to zero (on "utilities") and the USB In meters stop moving. Turning on the metronome makes the USB Out...

    [fixed] Crackles with 1.15 Beta Firmware

    Any chance on getting a firmware with that bug fixed before next week's Friday? I've a gig then which was supposed to be the very first with my III, but I need the looper. Maybe I can do without v. 1.15's additions and revert to 1.14 for the gig.

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Version 1.15 Beta

    Unfortunately the metronome seems to affect the analog outputs only. I have my monitors hooked up via spdif and there's no metronome. Accordingly, the meters do not show activity for USB out. The source for both is out1 in the setup menu. That said, this is my first firmware update since I got...

    Yup, that was quick. And also great. :)
  66. Sebastian

    I second. I was quite surprised when I got my III and found the looper without this function and its page.
  67. Sebastian

    Closed Blocks bypassed by default on every other scene but the one you're working with when you add it

    I fully agree. Makes more sense when creating a big virtual pedalboard or effect rack. Maybe make the behavior optional.
  68. Sebastian

    Implemented Metronome

    +1 for metronome. Advanced options would be cool.
  69. Sebastian

    Wish Setting to automatically round block parameters to the nearest whole number

    I guess it would be more helpful to the OP to have no numbers displayed at all and instead have an orientation mark on it like the analog counterpart. Rounding to whole values sacrifices a lot just to please the eye instead of the ears.
  78. Sebastian

    Adrian Belew Power Trio

    I guess another reason for Adrian sticking to the Ultra is the amount of time he spent with dialing and perfecting his patches. Those are probably not your typical amp-cab-delay patches but a lot of in depth FX tweaks. I think I even remember him saying something like this in a rig video or so.
