Axe-Fx III Firmware 23.00 Public Beta #1

Love the irony of 'good things come to those who wait' . Gapless switching must have taken a lot of resources to implement. Thanks Cliff and team!

In all those speculation threads... no one mentioned gapless... But I think the gap was the only legit thing that some of the other modelers did better. This is a huge upgrade to the system. Man, I love Fractal.

Wow! Gapless preset changes is huge! Is it coming also to FM9 and FM3 ???

Please, please, please!!

 

[Piing]

Nevermind the Gap!

Would love to have this with a Dalek voice

@FractalAudio , any insight on what kind of black magic you needed to do to make all this gapless goodness happen? What kind of things were the bottlenecks for loading stuff fast enough?

I was wondering too.

It's like performing magic to a 5 year old.
I BELIEVE!

The new amp block improvements sound amazing!

Yeah I'm also very curious. I think most of us were under the impression that the architecture of Fractal software made seamless preset switching inherently impossible. I really want to know what's changed.

"Preset, Scene and Channel changes are now gapless."

Whoooaaaaa!

Holy shitballs!

Great timing for this fantastic update, as I am able to actually play guitar for the first time in a few months due to shoulder/arm injury …..
Thanks as always , Cliff , for your obsessive excellence for our pleasure.
BTW, as fall finally arrived temperature-wise in Chicago, I am wearing my Dweezilla hoody sweatshirt in honor of the first time I was personally seduced into Fractalworld in the Catskills by DZ, @Admin M@ and Cliff

FWIW, I was planning to update the JS410 Crunch models as well but my wife got Covid so I've retreated to our "cabin by the lake". When I get back home I'll finish the updates. I wanted to get the firmware into your grubby hands so you could test things out.

i can’t even think of all the options that opens right now that the PRESET change is gapless .. PRESET ?? like a for real ? :O omg, this will be so, so good when a whole band is hooked up to one axe fx 3. no more workarounds and all that stuff…. aaaaa, I love you Cliff, love you all

Fractal developers are next level, fingers crossed it filters down the ranks
