    Hmmm? Sounds like you might be trying to name your scenes on an FC 'Layout? If so, That is not were you want to do that. The Scenes are named in the preset itself.

    AFIII Presets [Moke's Custom Presets] Axe-Fx III Master Thread - Updated to Firmware 20.xx 'Cygnus'! New 'Triple-Gain' (HB) Versions

    I use my own 'Tone Matched' and/or custom IR blends almost exclusively. Only a few of my presets use any Factory Cabs. I will definitely play with the 'Dyna-Cabs' on those few presets, as I go through and check them all out.

    Pitch Block Alternatives

    You really need to try a couple out for yourself. Try playing some more complex chords with a clean tone, maj7s, min7s, 9s, 13s, flat 5s, etc... and see how smooth they stay while sustaining.

    Pitch Block Alternatives

    I was shocked that the FM9 didn't have two Pitch blocks. The Plex-Delay block can do a good 'Detune' affect, and a poor 'Capo' effect, in a pinch.

    Pitch Block Alternatives

    I used to use the Morpheus Droptune (Line6 Vetta days). Tried the EHX Pitchfork and the Digitech Drop at Guitar Center later, and though both of those were better. It depends on what features you may want. Do you want to midi control anything? Do you also want a Whammy function (Whammy DT)?

    IMHO, Using it for harmonies before the Amp/Cab doesn't work very good at all. Instead of sounding like two guitars, it sounds like one guitar playing two (or more?) notes.

    Critique My Footswitch Layouts

    Don't for get about 'Stand-in' switches. They are very useful for things that don't need the LED indicator. Like Tuner, Hold sticky, toggling Layouts, toggling 'Views', etc.. It can free up a few switches for other duties.

    Talk Box?

    Not yet. The 4.01 (FM3) version should work okay. Waiting for the 'Dyna-Cab' firmware to get released and then update everything. My presets use, almost exclusively, custom IRs. So the 'Dyna-Cab' stuff itself will likely only directly affect a couple of them?

    Axe-Fx III Firmware 22.00 Release

    Phantom power fried my FC12 - will this prevent a third ocurrence?

    Axe FX3 + 4CM.. which FX BLOCK do I use when alternating between my amp and the amp sim?

    You can use scenes to do this my turning specific things on and off. You could also use a 'Multiplexer' block to select different rows via changing it's channels, also via scenes, or directly via a switch. The particulars depend on how you have the preset designed.

    The FM3 doesn't currently have the variable 'Input 1 / Instrument' parameter. It instead, had an 'Input 1 Pad' parameter with four possible values, as explained in post #7. But it also has the same volume auto compensation.
  41. Moke

    It sound like you are referring to the 'Input Trim' parameter on the Amp block. While the info that you posted is correct, and useful. It is completely different than the FM3 'Input Pad' parameter initially being discussed in this thread. These two parameters are often confused with each other.

    Better synth tracking?

    @simeon's suggestions are great. If you don't have the CPU for any extra blocks, using the neck pickup usually tracks better for me. If I use the bridge and let the note sustain, at some point, the synth goes up an octave. This happens way less using the neck pickup.
