Axe-Fx III Firmware Version 11.02 Public Beta #5 (Beta_4)

[yek]

Had a goof around with some of the new stuff here

I think that Black Pearl was my favorite Pat Travers album in those days. If you would melt Toto and Rory Gallagher, you’d get Pat Travers.

Wow never heard that. Fun tune.

The scene change speed and no drop out when connected to edit is OUTSTANDING!! The flanger is getting all the attention, but for me, the decreased gap is my favorite new feature.

+1 !

I resaved the impedence curves under this beta and now the edit light doesn't come on. It definitely reset the impedence curves in my existing post-11.0 presets, but it was no big deal to go back and fix them. Levels remained the same.

I’m not yet grasping the new Tremolo triggering function. There’s a Trigger Threshold parameter but on its own this doesn’t do the job.

It's a beta. Things come and go. I am sure they will get it all sorted!

Axe-Fx III Firmware Release Notes

11.02

Added “2x12 Godzilla” Speaker Impedance Curve based on a Zilla Fatboy.

Complete overhaul of the Flanger block. The manual will be updated shortly describing the new operation.

Added separate Filter Slope controls for the Cabinet block. The range of the slopes has been extended to include 18 and 24 dB/octave. Existing presets will be automatically updated to the correct values based on the previous Filter Slope value.

Added separate Low Cut Slope control for Delay block. Updated models accordingly.

Added “FAS Express” amp model based on hypothetical modifications to a Trainwreck Express.

Improved messaging system so that changing presets while Axe-Edit is running does not cause audio dropout (requires Axe-Edit version 1.4.00 or later).

Improved Scene switching speed.

Added LFO Quantize to Filter, Flanger and Phaser blocks.

Added Triggering to Tremolo block. When the Tremolo is triggered the Tremolo will engage and the LFO phase will start at the Start Phase value. This allows easily synchronizing the Tremolo to your playing. Set to “OFF” to defeat the trigger.

Fixed loss of precision in certain amp models (i.e. Plexi 50W Normal) when Input Drive is set very low.

Fixed Align tab in Cabinet block not displaying traces properly after changing channels/scenes from Axe-Edit.

I keep hearing low volume clicking sounds with the Electric Mystery on, like vinyl record pops.

@FractalAudio or anyone else!

I updated to 11.0.2 (from 11.0.1), and now all my amp names are wrong in my presets?
Any idea how to fix them?

For instance my IIC++amp block is showing Friedman HBE (It shows the correct IIC++ when navigating from the physical interface of the axe, but not in Axe Edit)

Well now I feel stupid, lol.

You can tell, I'm still a noobie, eh!

Finally over the flu and feeling alive again. Looking forward to updating the FW and trying out the new Flanger block. Thanks Cliff!

Perfect description!

I bought an ADA flanger after we played a show with Pat Travers in Dallas, Texas many years ago. I still have it on my old pedalboard. There was nothing else like it (until now). I'm really happy to see the great new updates to the flanger block.

 

[Deaj]

Thanks Cliff for, well, too many things to list. At the moment, though, I'm all lit up over the A/DA Flanger. Always wanted one but had other priorities when the opportunity would arise. This thing is FUN!!

I used to play 'Snortin' Whiskey, Drinkin' Cocaine' by Pat Travers with a band I played with just out of high school. Flanger never sounded right to me. Not surprisingly, the A/DA Flanger mode introduced in this firmware gets that sound right. Color me happy!

Nice! Great track, great album!

I was turned on to Pat Travers (Makin' Magic album) when I was 10 years old. The track 'Need Love' just blew my mind!



Oh, and Mars Cowling was a bad@ss bassist!

 

[MisterE]

Same here.
Big Pat Travers fan.
Makes No Difference, Stevie, Hooked On Music,.....
The ADA flanger is pure magic.
Thanks Cliff.

 

[Moke]

Always loved this one... Dude loved his Flanger.
Great Bass playing and Drumming too!
