Thank you, I appreciate it. I understand it takes time to update presets, and so I was just making sure I am current. As soon as I have some time I will be getting the Live Gold, to help learn about the differences with the live sound and how to achieve that from presets I have made. I really appreciate the STELLAR customer service. What an awesome community we have with Fractal products.Hi @Larry Ball
It's there now in your "My Downloads" account on my website if you bought the Axe-FX III version, under July 2022.
The FM9 version is unchanged - so that one will still only show May 2022 version.
@austinbuddy AB, is it possible whenever you are done reviewing all your preset packs due to fw20p02 default SIC's change that you might be able to include a list of just those presets that have non default SIC's? Looks like as long as they are saved on fw20p02 or newer fw's that they will retain your non default SIC's.Guys - stick with public firmware 20.01 for the June-July 2022 Live Gold presets/update.
Don't go to the beta 20.02+ for now. If you do that's going to change the sounds via new speaker curve impedance (SIC). Can't say how yet, not had time to test 1000 sounds. But I am sure I'll haver to make adjustments if using the new curves in a future update.
Supposedly there will be hardware unit "soft switch" added that will let you preserve the existing speaker impedance curve values from prior to 20.02 beta in next beta release, rather than overwrite them (forcibly). If so, you should be able to use that added soft switch set to NOT update to new SIC in your presets, and everything would sound as it does now.
Eventually I'll have an update for that new SIC stuff. Just wanted to provide ya fair warning. Carry on!

“No rest for the wicked?”Geez they keep you busy mate.
Thanks for all you do!

Maybe but it’s a lot of work to figure that out again preset by preset across 600+ of them for LiveGold. Naked Amps only uses default SIC curves though. I am hoping with the new curves on the next update I can make everything in Live Gold a default curve, it’s too much work to update the settings for the customized ones.@austinbuddy AB, is it possible whenever you are done reviewing all your preset packs due to fw20p02 default SIC's change that you might be able to include a list of just those presets that have non default SIC's?

Thanks for all that you do for us! Always stellar presets.
Also, on a separate topic with your Global scales I was curious what slot 6 was for? I see that all your Globals for LiveGold, Naked Amps, Brit Pack have the 3 Zep Global scales in slots 3, 4, and 5 and slot 6 is in LG and NA packs. I added the Global scale for Jessica in AllMyBrothers preset, scene 4 in 2 slot but I had to get that scale from your video.

Sorry AB. I never would want to ask something that would be a lot of work like that. I didn't realize you didn't have those identified. I thought maybe you did when you spoke about the percentage of them that had different SIC's. They still sound amazing on fw 20p02!!!Maybe but it’s a lot of work to figure that out again preset by preset across 600+ of them for LiveGold. Naked Amps inly uses default curves though.

Maybe Fractal Audio will in the future let us save any custom SICs to a library like blocks to recall any time - that would be nice and easier!
I did write them down somewhere for LiveGold, because I had to go update them after one firmware required an amp reset after July 2020, and so did a rough calculation to get % changed vs default.Sorry AB.

Thank you for responding as always
Not sure what my custom scale 6 is for exactly - but don't think it's for Brit Rock, that just uses the three from 3 to 5 I believe. But I'm away from my machines. It may be for "Last Child" by Aerosmith but I think that harmony part in the lead was diatonic.Also, on a separate topic with your Global scales I was curious what slot 6 was for?

Should we have the auto update SICs on load setting turned on?Also, you don't have to worry about SIC curves in Naked Amps. Everything should be fine for that one.
Hi Dave: for Naked Amps it should not be an issue and so you can turn it on. Should sound great/the same.Should we have the auto update SICs on load setting turned on?
