    FM3 Firmware Version 9.00

    Ok great. Curious about some sound clips.

    FM3 Firmware Version 9.00

    That’s cool! How does it sound? Do you have to attach modifiers to it, like you previously had to do to get an envelope filter sound? Or does it work straight out of the box?

    That Axe fx clip sounds really wobbly indeed.

    Yes but we need some specific examples to see what the OP is trying to accomplish.

    Any word on pitch shifting updates/improvements for cleans & bass?

    What kind of things are doing on bass with the pitch shifter that the Axe fx/FM has trouble with? Can you give some specific examples ?

    Firmware Releases

    Only update if there is something in it that you really want and can’t do without. That saves you time and avoids constant tweaking of your presets, which means more time for playing. But it’s up to you.

    I am still on Axe fx II. The fact that it isn’t updated anymore also gives some rest. You have to do it with what you’ve got. No constant preset tweaks anymore because of new FW changes and so. No wishes. This is what it is. That means more time for playing. There is something to say for that...

    I think you are speaking for yourself. In 5 years time or so when the IV is out people will say the same about the Axe fx III and most Axe fx III owners will buy the IV. Like I said there is always room for improvement and no unit is final.

    Famous users of the amp modeling.

    Not all of them use it for live amp modelling though. Petrucci and Vai use it for fx only I think? A lot of famous touring guys do it that way I guess, because they are still used to their amps or prefer the hands on control or sound or feel of a real amp.

    This is exactly what people said about the Axe fx II too at the time and see now. 90% of the people that said that of the Axe fx II own a III now. Just look at the wish section of this forum. There is always room for improvements and additions.

    Wish 2 PITCH blocks, 1 ON at a time

    Maybe they don't see it as an issue? I am sure they have a good reason to not include 2 pitch blocks. But I think it's strange that a piece of gear of this magnitude (and price) doesn't have two pitch blocks. Even the Axe fx II has two pitch blocks and I think that has less power than the FM9?

    Of course! +1

    Wish 2 PITCH blocks, 1 ON at a time

    Yes it's too bad in itself that people have to buy an external pedal along their FM9 to do this. Still don't understand why there is only one pitch block in the FM9. Don't think Fractal made a statement about that? or I might have missed that. For me that's a deal breaker and the main reason I...

    That’s how you have to see the Tonex One too. As a two channel amp. One clean and one drive channel. For many situations that’s all you need (plus some effects).

    Steve Morse, what you can’t do with amp modelers. What do you think?

    We don’t know for sure but I also think that he must have tried Fractal. I think he wouldn’t base his opinion on just one modeler. He also says ‘any digital amp’. He also says he doesn’t like the tiny artifacts of digital distortion. There always will be players that don’t like modelers. Maybe...

    Steve Morse, what you can’t do with amp modelers. What do you think?

    I am not saying I agree or don’t agree with him, but I guess he is in a position that he must have tried every modeler available. He says ‘with any digital amp’. I am sure he must have tried out Fractal gear also. And he is not the only pro/famous player with that opinion. And there are pro’s...

    Tonex One

    I am sure you can get a good sound out of the Tonex. Just find one or two amp models that you like and make all your sounds from there. One clean, one drive channel. I don’t need fifty or more amps. Just one good amp model will do for a gig. Just like with a real amp. I don’t care if it’s a...

    Tonex One

    It's for a different purpose. It's a tiny box that you can put in your pocket and take to a gig or use it as a spare etc. Whereas the Axe fx is a big piece of gear that you can't take with you in a train or on a bicycle for example. Sometimes you just don't want to lug around lots of gear and...

    Because they don't have amps in music stores? :)

    Tonex One

    That’s exactly what it is. The same sounds and quality as the bigger one, only in a small format and with the SE software if I understand it correctly. I will buy one as a backup for my guitar and bass amps or modeller. It has more bass stuff in it than the Axe fx actually.

    AFIII Prog fusion track with weird bass tritone tuning

    Recorded this new proggy fusion track this week called "The Tanagran Triton" with my Axe fx II (there is no II prefix!). The bass was recorded direct using a vst amp plugin (Brainworx). The bass is tuned in tritones F#CF#C. A rather weird tuning that generates some new ideas and sounds for me...

    The Axe fx II was 2U. The Axe fx III is 3U. Maybe the Axe fx IV will be 4U? With room for a toaster….😀
  41. Bodde

    Wish AXE FX III Core - 1U Rack Version

    Yes great idea. I think the Axe fx III is way too big. That’s one of the reasons I don’t buy it. 2U is more than enough for me. 1U could work too because I hardly do any editing on the front panel.

    I have Dimarzio (humless) Area 61 and 58 single coils in one of my strats. They sound good.

    Well we could always buy one these of course. If it wasn't so expensive I probably would have had it by now. The other thing I don 't like is the fact that you need to hook up yet another extra switch for the hold and blend function. They also have a new volume swell thing which you can use...

    Yes. I never heard that it cannot be done. But I don’t think anyone from Fractal ever commented on the two pitch block thing. I think it’s just a strange decision that they only included one pitch block in the FM9. For me it’s a real dealbreaker unfortunately.
  59. Bodde

    Do you think 2 pitch blocks is even possible on the FM9, technical and memory wise? I have no idea. If so, why didn't Fractal choose to have two pitch blocks in the FM9 from the start?

    Cool! I agree. The Ring Mod block is good and useful, but there are dedicated Ring Mod pedals that do it better. The block could be improved or expanded. When was the last time it was updated? Might be years ago, I am not sure. Hopefully one day it will happen.

    Delay or Tremolo used on this sound?

    Square tremolo. I wish the tremolo block had a threshold trigger. So that it starts running at the exact beginning of the cycle the moment you pick a note. Otherwise it's very hard or even impossible to sync the tremolo to a fixed BPM. Same goes for the arpeggiator or sequencer.

    Looper Quantize

    The Axe fx can’t do this! It only quantises the end point not the beginning. So for playing loops along with a drumbeat or click track the looper doesn’t work as you say.

    Well it's not a competition. Both units (Axe fx and H9/H90) can do things that the other can't do. Eventide has some very nice algos and sounds that the Axe fx just doesn't have and visa versa.

    Fractal Audio Multi-FX Pedal

    Fractal Audio Multi-FX Pedal

    I think the Eventide H9 and H90 are the same level as the Axe fx when it comes to purely effects. What is better is highly subjective and a matter of taste. But the FM3 totally wins because there is a lot more possible than on the H9 or H90 with combining effects etc. And yes why should one wish...

    FM9 - Volume pedal - use the block at the beginning of the grid, in the middle, or at the end?

    If you want to do delay swells put it right before the delay. if you want to control the end volume put it right at the end. If you want to control the gain of an amp or drive put it before that. In your case put the volume block after the cab otherwise it will effect the gain.
