AX-8 10.00 Release Candidate #2

[Rex]

I find the highs are sweeter and I can increase them more without getting harsh compared to previous FWs.

This.

Well problem solved, downgraded to 9.04 and restored the backup I had made before the upgrade, now everything sounds good again

I've fixed the balance bug but I'm going to wait a few days before an official release to make sure there are no other issues reported.

So I’ll be gigging with RC3 this weekend?

Thank you for AX8 10.00
I just FINALLY had time to install the update from 9.04 tonight.
Sounds great , and the switching is great too. I have my patches set up mono for live , and the updated version of the patch I used on a gig last Friday , had me playing for an hour. I have a drive pedal in front of a jumped 50 watt , and it sounded sooo great without the drive pedal engaged at all now.

Much more like the III - IMO.

I don't know what or how you did it , but ---- Thank you !!

I love this new fw. Looking forward to spending more time this weekend playing with it. Great job fractal

Gigged this last night. Fenders are sounding incredible and the BE 2018 is a savage animal. @FractalAudio you're a wonder.

There's a problem with LFO 1 speed when set to e.g. 1/4 and LFO 2 is set to none. It starts with with a doubled speed and first needs changing to another divider then back to 1/4 to be ok again. Unfortunately next time I load the preset I have to redo this procedure. I changed my preset to set LFO 2 to 1/4th as well and everything is fine.

Edit: Funny. Saving the preset to another bank (39-1) and using it from there fixes the issue. Copying it back to the original preset number (30-1) makes it come back.

Does it happens with every effect that has LFOs? (modulation, delay, etc...) or only modifiers?

 

[Petrocelli]

Don’t know if this was in 9.04 also, but if i load a preset of the blocks library in a block with Y- State, the X-State will be overwritten with that!

 

[Josetxu]

Well, I actually noticed less treble indeed .
I find the highs are sweeter and I can increase them more without getting harsh compared to previous FWs. It seems like the harmonic content is sorta more "aligned" with the fundamental, probably more even and less odd harmonics and fizz.
It also seems it has a little more "thump" on the attack.

That is also my feelings, I'm still in public beta 3 and I've raised a bit the treble in my fender models. Now they sound rounder and sweeter, for me fw10 sounds great.

I used the LFO on the pitch block so I think the answer is it's independent of the modifier the LFO controls.

Block library replaces the whole block, which is x and y.

Yep the 2018 Friedman is amazing, did you use any of the on board boost functions ?

Do it........upgrade.........you know you want to

 

[ChristThePhone]

Do it........upgrade.........you know you want to

... unless you make use of LFOs in your presets.

 

[Rayos]

I'm not using LFOs.

And of course I want to upgrade.

But I'll wait. I think I'll wait. I believe I'll wait.

 

[Anto]

Just sound amazing to me... Here is the BE100 in "Crunchy tones" with 10.0 RC#2 :

 

[bradlake]

.so.....is the official nomenclature of the firmware Quantum 10.x, AX8 10.x, Ares 10,x or perhaps...QuantAres 10.x.....? (Not that it makes a helluva lot of difference...)
