Axe-Fx III Firmware Version 1.16 Beta

[Marco Fanton]

I can't install 1.15!
Fractal Bot stop at 17,5%

Should have read through the comments first. I also can’t revert to 1.15, I keep getting FBot timeouts, the best I’ve gotten was about 30% complete. Tried going straight from AxeFx to USB port (bypassing the hub) but it just got worse. iMac Pro, OSX 10.13.6. Axe Edit 0.09.21 is painfully slow as well.

Thanks guys, it seems i'll wait next beta

Feels to me like this should be pulled sooner than later...

I don’t disagree, and I also just confirmed the inability to downgrade via fractalbot ....strongly suggest not
doing this beta if you haven't yet.

Is there any way to do a global reset of the unit? A factory restore?

For those having difficulty rolling back you can use the emergency recovery mode:
1. Turn power off.
2. Press and hold Page < and Page >
3. Turn power on and continue to hold for a couple seconds.
4. Unit will boot into emergency image.
5. Update as usual.

Went from 1.15 to this 1.16 Beta 1 ... installed no problems, but with Axe Edit 9.21 every time I open Axe Edit 9.21 it endlessly reads the new definitions ...... close Axe Edit / Re-open it / same thing every time ..... I assume this is one of the reasons it was pulled (?)

Thanks,
Ben

Just had a lock up between changing presets, but not 100% sure it was the axefx unit. Had no issues upgrading. (From 1.15) not tried axeedit

Well that went well , thanks!! Back on good old 1.15, AxeEdit back up to speed, and the bonus of learning of the emergency boot is great, seems to me that updating FW is much faster using that technique ...Lemonade out of lemons again !

Anyone else having issue with Axe-Edit? If so please state Mac or PC. Thanks.

Big lag problems with Axe-Edit here. Windows 10 64 bit.

I toyed with the idea of having FRFR on the left and SS on the right but figured it would confuse people too much.

Maybe something where you can select the output mode for each row of the grid wouldn't be confusing.

Here is a question. If we are not able to revert to previous firmware will we be able to upgrade to the fixed version?

Edit: I see there is a recovery method now.

Maybe a problem with the Axe-Fx III USB Firmware....

Unable to roll back to 1.15 so I can track this morning and use Axe Edit in a stable environment.

Fractal Bot crashes when attempting to install 1.15

I see Cliff removed the link. Hopefully will upload beta 2, so I can use Axe Edit. My unit is not in an ergonomically pleasant and accessible location for easy front panel operation.
