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).

Oh sweet baby Jesus yes. I've tried using externals as an intermediary and setting the default values on pedals/externals appropriately to do this before but it never seemed completely consistent.

My scenario was that when I decided to plug into a computer with the FM3 to work on something with my monitors and FM3-Edit (rather than working with the PA and the unit controls itself like I usually do), I often wouldn't take all the expression pedals up on the desk with it and then would have to go in and disable all the modifiers then remember to re-enable them after, or just go grab a pedal anyway just to keep the WAH off.

I missed this release note. This is a great improvement!
 
Bug report:
Output volume of the Amp block maxed out (but there was no output to the monitors).
Had to switch off and reboot.
Happened when I switched the Cab block channel.
Unfortunately the issue was not reproducible.

A very similar issue happened to me when updating to 27.01.

A day prior I added a filter block to a long standing preset, and was mucking about and exploring the filter settings with new "mysterious ways" stuff. This preset sits at about 54% routinely, about the same with added filter block. No anomalies at this point. The filter block was then bypassed

Did the update to 27.01, all went well. Was still in this preset post-update and just jamming. I switched scenes from a crunch to a lead, and immediately lost sound, outputs were pinned, unit locked up, had to power cycle the AxeFX. Of course tried the same thing again aafter reboot, this time from clean scene to crunch. Locked up same symptoms. Started to get that panicky vibe, rebooted and tried a 3rd time, lead to crunch and again, locked up, no sound, no response, LEDs are pinned, both AxeFX and axe edit are frozen, had to reboot.

So now I'm getting ready to restore first bank of presets from backup (where this preset lives) and it occurs to me the filter block was still there, and to delete it, insert shunt.

Problem solved, never to return. I've since added back a filter block to this preset with no ill effects.

I chalked it up to corruption or a "things happen" sitch. Its never happened again. I don't know exactly what the cause was and didn't figure it was worth reporting as it was a one off and deleting that filter block I'd recently added resolved it. It would only lock up when switching scenes, which in this preset's case, primarily changes the Amp block channel.

If this output lockup is being pursued as a bug, I figured I'd toss this experience in as it may help. I too was unable to recreate the issue once I deleted the filter block, but mine happened immediately post update so I haven't gone to the trouble of downgrading and reattempting to recreate the issue, but maybe this info will help in some way if its pursued for resolve.

Glad it wasn't a persistent issue for you either.
 
Not sure if it's related to 27.01, but all the modifiers in all my presets just stopped working. Restarted the Axe and everything was back to normal.

I had the same thing happen last night. Reboot fixed it for me too. Axe has been running non-stop since the 27.01 release was installed. Not sure if it was due to something happening over an extended runtime.

It wasn't until a week after we brought our daughter home from the hospital that the realization finally set in !

I found that I was constintently reminding myself that It was nothing that a few billion people hadn't been through before me .... That always seemed to settle me down :tearsofjoy: ...

Don't worry ! You're going to be just fine ! CONGRATULATIONS 🎇 !
