Fractal just released Dyna-Cabs, and already said additional cabs were in the queue. Cliff said they take a lot of work, so perhaps that's keeping him busy.

I think if Fractal was going to shelve development of the FX3, they'd be up-front about it and say so. Their past behavior was to continue supporting units after they'd announced a replacement, so why would they change now?

After looking at the firmware releases for the FX3 here's a little summary starting from March 14, 2018 to date:

If other companies had that sort of responsiveness their customers would be ecstatic, but here? This sort of question… sigh.

The color of the tuner arrows and the color of the highlighted scene on my Axe FX3 (Mk1) display has changed to a light blue-green... I want to change it back to the way it was, but don't see any way to do that... and I haven't seen anyone else mention it...?
 
Thank you a million! Awesome that you also made a solution for this: "Added activity sensing to pedals".
All you improvements are amazing. Thank you Cliff

Cheers 🍻
 
Might be my imagination but boot up seems faster, and the bootup progress bar now shows an activity status (loading presets, loading IRs ...) that I don't remember seeing before (unless I was asleep which is entirely possible).

Added activity sensing to internal pedals, FC pedals and external controllers. This stops Auto-Engage from engaging an effect if the pedal/controller is not connected. This prevents, for example, a Wah being engaged if Auto-Engage is on but no pedal is connected (i.e., you left your expression pedal at home).

This!!! Thank you!!!

This a cool feature, thanks; I've run into this a couple of times when my pedal controller/cable/connection auto-engaging the Wah block decided to become cranky/intermittent all of a sudden out of nowhere.

As a backup I've copied my main gigging preset to another slot and removed the Wah block to negate that potential issue (which is extremely rare but, well, connectors/cables heh...).

Axe-Fx III Firmware Release Notes​


27.01

Added “Touch Wah” type to Filter block. This is similar to the Envelope Filter but uses a different type of detector and voltage-to-frequency converter. This type can be used to create interesting touch-sensitive filter sounds. It can also be used to replicate the Korg A3 Touch Wah sound as follows:
  • Set Mode to MIX
  • Set Start Freq to maximum. Set Stop Frequency to minimum.
  • Start with a fairly high Attack Time, around 500ms.
  • Set Release Time to around 200ms.
  • Adjust Sensitivity to taste.
Improved Auto-Swell type in Volume block. Added Release time and Hysteresis controls to allow fine-tuning to playing style. Hysteresis controls how much extra the signal must fall below the threshold before the detector releases.

Changed the Envelope Follower in the Megatap, Multitap and Plex blocks to use the same algorithm as the improved Auto-Swell algorithm in the Volume block as the purpose of the Envelope Follower is to generate volume swells.

Added MIDI Clock transmit. This can be configured to send MIDI clock messages to MIDI, USB or both (or off). Default is MIDI only. NOTE: USB Firmware 1.17 or greater is required to send MIDI Clock over USB. If you require MIDI Clock to a USB host then you need to install USB Firmware version 1.17 or greater.

Added selectable MIDI Clock receive source. This can be configured to receive MIDI clock messages from MIDI or USB (or off). Default is MIDI.

Added activity sensing to internal pedals, FC pedals and external controllers. This stops Auto-Engage from engaging an effect if the pedal/controller is not connected. This prevents, for example, a Wah being engaged if Auto-Engage is on but no pedal is connected (i.e., you left your expression pedal at home).

Fixed LFO Phase not working for Vibe modes in Phaser block.

Fixed !!!
When I wanted just to play without having to connect the FC-12 and expression pedals, I had to manually shunt the wah block cause it wouldnt bypass manually. Well done FAS !
