Previous versions are not supported. Latest version has to be used to get good conversions
If you have a windows multiboot i recommend using windows version in your case
 
I just tried to send an Axe-Fx II preset to the Axe-Fx III and noticed a bug. But it's a very tiny one.
There is Chorus1 and Chorus2 in the Axe-II preset. What was Chorus1 ended up as Chorus2 in the Axe-III and vise versa.

Strange, can you share the preset please?
 
I just noticed it wasn't Chorus1 and Chorus2. It was Chorus1 and QuadChorus1.
Chorus1 ended up as Chorus2
QuadChorus1 ended up as Chorus1
I'll send you the preset as PM
 
My converted XLII to III patches converted, but the volumes are all over the place and also the sustain and distortions are not as much. Also the patches are much brighter and less warm. Any suggestions?

Little disappointed so far, the XLII sounds better so far.

Totally different hardware & firmware. There is no way they could sound exactly the same. Redial your presets & make sure if you have user cabs that the correct ones are being used. (I did my transfers shortly after the III came out & the user cabs were installed by a different program & were in a different order. That may not be true now but worth looking into) With some work, the III will sound much better IMHO.

The Axe Fx III is not a II... The modeling is different. Your mileage may vary.

Did you transfer your user cabs and put them into the same slots?
 
Yes all the cabinets are the same.
At this point I suspect that going from II to III is going to get your preset transferred with all your blocks and layout and scenes.

Then you'll need to adjust at least the Amp and Drive blocks and possibly more.

They are just different... The Axe Fx III has had many improvements.

And if the II wasn't on ares 2, of course you get something different... (didn't i explain that 50 times already?)
 
Hi all,
Here is something a lot of users have asked for : A tool to open XL presets on an AxeFx II mk1/mk2 and vice-versa. And open AX8/FX8 presets on AxeFx II/XL. And... OPEN AxeFx presets on AX8/FX8 ! :D

  • It shifts usercab slots pointed by your CAB blocks so if an XL preset points to user cab 10, the converted II preset should also point to usercab 10, and viceversa
  • It converts Tonematch data if the preset embeds some. (not on AX8 of course)
  • Nothing is changed in the blocks parameters, so you may encounter differences if the AxeFx II reacts differently or if the XL preset used unavailable blocks (Y states)....
  • When converting to AX8, unavailable blocks are removed and replaced by shunts
  • Can convert offline
  • Shows preset layout (online & offline)
  • Shows preset layout if a conversion encountered unavailable blocks (online & offline)
  • Auto-updates to latest version (after 2.0 beta 16)
  • Can now convert presets to local files even if connected to a fas device.
  • Successfully converts blocks with different X/Y data sets between II/XL/AX8.
  • Bypass states should be kept between II and XL.
  • Now converts input block successfully to/from AX8.
  • Now converts approximatively to/from AX8 AMP block levels.

  • Now includes all functionalities (and more) of defunct AxeFxBankMgr
  • Allows you to audition easily banks/multiple presets at once just by dropping files on the FAS device icon.
  • Batch convert multiple banks/presets at once by dropping files on the harddrive icon.

  • Audition Multiple presets/Cabs
  • Convert/rearrange cabs banks
  • Create Cabs banks from single cabs or the reverse.

  • Supports zip files ! You can now drop a zip file containing cabs or presets or whatever ! :)

Here is the tool :

If your "antivirus" (AVG/Windows Defender or other pseudo-antivirus) detects it as a virus, then adopt another antivirus.

Mac (10.12+) : http://archive.axefx.fr/Tools/FracTool.pkg

I recommend you associate syx file extension to it, this will allow you to hear a preset/ir by double-clicking it.

Presets are sent to the edit buffer, you'll have to save where you want.

Irs are sent to scratchpad and present cab blocks are set to point to scratchpad, easing auditioning process.

Thanks to @FractalAudio for allowing me to do it, @duguy for beta testing and @tgunn for code inspiration.

Bonjour Al Grenadine, Would you have a way to download a version of FracTool that still works with OS X 10.11.6? Grow merci!
 
Ok, thx! Anyone out there could bail me out? Would need a FracTool and a FracPad version that was just before the 10.12+ only limitation..

thx!
 
Is there a way with Fractool to set the Low Cut in the cab block for the Axe Fx III?
I did some searching but couldn't find an answer.
I would like to be able to adjust Low Cut on one or even a group of factory presets.
I appreciate your help, Thanks
I just got the first part figured out, select Low Cut 1 for the first cab block, not Low Cut.....
