Kaoss pad as controller

Thanks Smoib and Simeon. Interesting video there. Yes, I was thinking more along the lines of XY midi expression controller via midi to Axe. Guess you could also put the Kaoss in the Axe loop for crazier Kaoss effecting.

Kaoss pad as controller

Just wondering if anyone has tried using a Kaoss Pad as a expression controller for the Axe FX? If so, what did you do? Any sound samples? I'm just dreaming up a mad scientist idea... Cheers, Tim

Axe-fx 2 for the aussies!!!

Just tried an estimate from Bongo. With current prices it will come out at just over $2500 to ship it to Australia via Bongo (including taxes etc). So, if Independent can keep it equivalent to that, then I will definitely consider shopping with them again (especially after the wonderful...

Will you buy an Axe FX II?

Methinks this may be akin to a drug addiction. GAS is setting in... Too bad I have a wedding to save for. Have already had thoughts of having one delivered to work and secretly installing it without my fiance noticing... Please send enough stock to Australia, and IM, I love your work, but...

Agreed. Distance sucks music gear wise. But, if you want that OS stuff, you gotta pay the price. TimmyM

Axe-FX sighting - Westminster Abbey!!

I was watching the Royal wedding (I am an Aussie after all) and was appreciating some of the lovely music and imagining the glorious tone of that orchestra in the Abbey, when all of a sudden I saw that little green screen in the background of an orchestra shot behind the violins. I rewound the...

Countdown

My money is on the following: 1. New hardware - Axe-PC. 2. Remember how Axe-Edit was meant to be the front end of both the Axe-FX and the proposed Axe-PC? New Axe-Edit with Axe-Manage to manage Axe-PC. 3. The icing on the cake - new firmware to make it all compatible. I'd have $5 on...

A new guy saying hi.

Don't you just love the excitement of an impulse buy. There's the guilt of having spent the money. There's the excitement of the unknown. The anticipation of delivery. The delivery of the goods just like Christmas... The elation that its more than you ever expected. Then comes...

QSC HPR122i discontinued in Australia. BOO!!

I managed to score a HPR122i as a trade a few years back. I couldn't afford at the time (and nary can afford it now) a second one to complete the set as a pair. So now I have the money saved, the store tells me its discontinued. Major Bummer! Now I only have one QSC HPR122i. I really like...

speaker resonant frequency question

I like how you roll Scott. You could take that one step further and literally tune the resonant frequency response of your amp to match the root of the key your playing in. That way when you drop that big Root note or chord on the chorus or ending, it really sounds huge. Sweet as. TimmyM

Idea to tweak my live rig.

As a pioneer user of the Axe-FX, Tedge I salute you. You were one of the reasons I bought my ultra. Best of luck in re-programming. If you do decide to move to firmware 10.03 (its a big leap and you will notice a difference I think), then maybe look at trying the AC30 amp models and be sure to...

No output

Hit global bypass and see what happens. If you get sound, then there's something in the patch that is stopping the flow of sound. If you get no sound, then there may be something else wrong... bad cable, amplification system not working etc... or goodness forbid, something wrong with the...
