Modifier curves - mathematics?

Thanks so much! Yeah, I hope you don't get into trouble for sharing this. FWIW, the response message is too long to be received by Lemur. The arrays in Lemur are limited to 256 items, so I only get the first 256 bytes of the response. That will be enough to get the first 125 points in the...

Let's see your favourite guitar!

Thanks! Although it was not originally planned that way, this was my 50th birthday present. It has seen only two gigs, but at least I know this guitar responds to high volume like a nice old 335 and does the controlled feedback thing beautifully. I've never gotten along with the large 335 body...

Let's see your favourite guitar!

I think my Lentz T is my all time favorite electric guitar. But I have been playing this one recently... Saul Koll Super Glide Almighty I asked Saul to build me his take on the classic ES335, but in his Glide body shape, with a gold top. I left many items on the spec sheet blank and told Saul...

WOW! I just found the BEST headphones for the money!

Grado also provides great customer service, in my experience. I have been using the SR225 for years and sent the cans back to the factory for out of warranty cable replacement. Turn around was fast, and their flat fee for repair is very reasonable.

Modifier curves - mathematics?

Thanks for the info. Each manufacturer uses a different format for their sysex messages, so the AxeFX's GET_GRAPH message format is probably not the same as the Kurzweil K2500 GET_GRAPH. It is cool to see the K2500 sysex spec, though. Years ago, a jamming buddy of mine used to leave his K2000...

You are awesome! Can you share additional info, like the function ID? As far as I can tell the GET_GRAPH message is not used by the latest AxeEdit ... was it used in a previous AxeEdit version?

Modifier curves - mathematics?

I'm adding modifier support to the Axe for Live template for Lemur/iPad, and was wondering if anyone can help me with the math needed to duplicate the graph shown on the AxeFX modifier screen. I want to use a Lemur signalscope object to display the curve on the iPad screen. The shape of the...

Axe for Lemur ready for beta testers

Thanks for the support guys. It's was a very difficult week this last week, but I'm feeling pretty good this morning. I see that Liine released Lemur v4.03 a few days ago. I've not had the energy to do any real testing, but it looks like this new version has fixed the problems with incoming...

Artificial sound in dirty Axe FX II soundclips..

Great clip! I think a big part of that tone is the note bloom provided by the ES335 in close proximity to a cranked amp. Robben is masterfully controlling the feedback.

Point to point silicon fuzz face design

I've been using Google SketchUp to create a layout for the tile work I am doing around the house. SketchUp is a powerful free 3D cad program. So last night I was checking out the SketchUp component libraries and found some ready to use 3D models of a SOT-23 transistor and various sizes of SMT...

Thanks guys! To be perfectly honest, I've been able to do lots of work on my hobbies and home improvement because I have free time right now. I was recently laid off from the job I've had for 15 years. I was an apps engineer for a large IC manufacturer. I designed eval boards and eval...

Firmware Version 10.02 Now Available

Thank you so much for this one! My Axe for Lemur template listens for this sync message and now it is able to self-update when the user changes bypass state or adds a block to the grid from the AxeFX front panel. My jaw kind of dropped when I saw that happen the first time ... it is so friggin...

Axe for Lemur ready for beta testers

I have not tried to find the SysEx message that commands the AxeII to save a preset to memory. I think many of us are waiting patiently for FAS to release the AxeII midi specs to see how this and other things can be done remotely via MIDI. A simple workaround is to use Volume Inc and Volume...

Who owns this specific Axe-Fx?

That's how they turn sand into DSP chips. It all starts with a smokin' hot woman in a bikini and lots of sand.

Does anyone know why the Axe2 doesn't have midi toggle CCs?

OK, I understand. Thanks for clarifying. And I can now see how that feature would be useful to many users.

Does anyone know why the Axe2 doesn't have midi toggle CCs?

Not sure I am following. Your footcontroller always sends two midi messages when you tap the IA switch, one message with value = 127 for the switch down event and another message with value = 0 for the switch up event. If that is correct, then how will you program your footcontroller to send CC...

Axe for Lemur ready for beta testers

Were you running the editor app or was that just to load the template? I find the Lemur iPad app is more stable if the Editor App is closed. But I still do get occassional Lemur crashes, I think it is because the Lemur app drops the connection to a wifi target for some unknown reason. It could...
