DLC86
Fractal Fanatic
Starting this thread so that wishes and ideas for the future version of the Ax8 can be collected and easily consulted by FAS developers and hopefully make their way to the final hardware, if and whenever it happens (hoping it's not already too late)
I'll start with what I would like to see implemented:
- More powerful CPU (this is obvious but probably no need to have the same power of the Axe III, half would be enough for most users i believe).
- All blocks and features ported from the new flagship (input and output blocks, 4 channels, seamless switching, color display, extended and freely assignable footswitch funcionality, etc.)
- Headphones out
- USB audio interface and/or spdif input
- Midi block able to send several PC and CC messages at scene change and ability to use footswitches/exp pedals to send additional CCs
- Embedded bluetooth module to use PC (and hopefully phone/tablet) editor wirelessly
- Bluetooth module able to act as a Midi BLE host to easily connect to "slave" devices like Yamaha MD-01, quiccosound mi.1, etc
- USB host port to connect class compliant midi devices, external storage to load pre-recorded loops or samples, etc..
- Vocal specific filter/drive effects (megaphone, radio, robot, etc..)
Possibly all this and more for a 500$ price point
Feel free to add your reasonable or unreasonable wishes too!
