Changing string gauge on 8 string

Hello All! hope everyones doing well, been a while since I posted, but I know info here is good :) I got an 8 string strandberg that came stock with what I believe are 9's or 8's (I believe 9-80), and I want to up them to 10's (10-74). In this situation, should I bother with adjusting the...

SOLO 100 = AWESOMENESS

The 100 was my go to on the ultra, then I stuck to the HBE for the longest time with the II until cliff posted his Plexi50 dimed patch, which was my latest go to for the last 2 years now I believe. But I just checked, and yes, the SOLO 100 does kick some excellent ass right now, might have to...

New Spectrasonics Plug

I saw this the other day, very interested! I've had their other plugins and they're excellent! I've been on the fence for getting a better piano plugin (I have toontrack grand keys which is pretty good), but when I'm ready to get a complete plug in, this will be my first choice!

Morphing Amps between amps in a patch

I use dampening on my patch (to go from clean to lead amp) - it adds a slight delay in the sweep making it more smooth and easier on the ears. I found the curve parameter doesn't help too much, unless you have a lot of sweeping range on your pedal. I use only crybaby pedals so the sweep is very...

Ableton Live plugin as decent alternative to Axe FX II

I use Amplitube 4 (the marshall amps are better now, but only 4 have been improved), and the fractal cab-lab 3 for cab sims using cab pack from FAS :) Sounds pretty good to me :)

What's your string gauge? Manufacturer?

I use Ernie Ball Power Slinkies nickle wound 11-48 on my 25.5" hot rod strat, and my gibson - I like the strings, and can get them at a good price on ebay for 12 pack. Wouldn't mind trying 11-54's, but I have a feeling they would be too 'boomy'.

Can the Axe send preset data on start up?

As the title says, I was wondering if there is any way to get the axe to send the present data, namely, sysex preset data on start up? It would definitely help my teensy/arduino based foot controller as it is powered on before the axe and sends a request when turned on. (it is powered from its...

Programmer uses Python to graph what songs were recorded using click tracks

I strongly agree with this - when trying to make midi beats I as well try to maintain variations in tempo. I find it is difficult to accurately model in DAW's, but I have typically resorted to differentiating verses and chorus with slightly off tempos. If I had a lot of free time, I would make...

MIDI_GET_PRESET_NUMBER byte order

The reason the bytes may seem backwards is because most of the Sysex uses little endian (LSB first) (I think this is the correct notation... if I am wrong please correct me!!), so you have to shuffle the 2 bytes around (bank number and preset number): if (byte[6] == 0x00) { // BANK 1...

DIY Arduino Foot Controller

I just checked on my end, and yes, there is something off. Would have to look at the SysEx string that is returned from the axe on the empty patch. Not sure if its a code problem, or the axe actually sends back blocks info on empty presets?

DIY Arduino Foot Controller

Wish I knew! would have made it much easier for both of us ;) I'm assuming its something to do with keeping the whole system robust to updates, new blocks, block values etc. I'm just glad someone mapped it all out (thanks to them!)!

DIY Arduino Foot Controller

Hey! No worries! I never had to do this stuff before either, so it wasn't obvious to me! what it comes down to is stripping away parts of the byte and re-arranging the bits into the data that you want (I'm not trying to be condescending, just telling you how I 'learned' it when I was going...

DIY Arduino Foot Controller

EDIT: added some more info at the end! I've attached the file I use (note there is a header file with definitions), it works perfectly on my Teensy. I'm not sure what the last 4 bytes you are asking about, I think all the data is in the bits described on the wiki page. I've been meaning to post...
