[WANT] Global settings presets

Hi all, this is a feature request. I'd like to have presets for some of the global settings (specifically: Output EQ settings, Cabinet Modeling, Reverb Mix, Effects Mix, Noisegate Offset). Rationale: there are several different contexts in which I use the Axe FX on a regular basis. At home...

Ergonomics suggestion for the MIDI/Remote menu

Hello, while navigating the Axe-FX III's menus, I found odd that the initial value settings for the external controllers appears in the General sub-menu. It would make more sense to me to see them as a third column in the External sub-menu, next to the controller numbers. That way, all settings...

Corrective EQ for Matrix Q12(a)

Dear all, my Axe-FX is routed to a couple of Matrix Q12A FRFR amps. These are not /exactly/ flat. I found two threads on the forum with "corrective" EQ propositions for them, but the two solutions in question look quite different (reproduced below), so I'm wondering if anyone has conducted a...

Is there some kind of detection for plugged / unplugged inputs ?

Hello, suppose I have an input block on the grid, but the corresponding input is not physically plugged in. I would like to know if, in theory, this could lead to some random noise being processed, or if there's some kind of detection that there's nothing to process, and the input would in fact...

Electric sitar + AxeFX = Hispano-Indo-Flamenco Jazz !

Hey guys, I've had this Jerry Jones electric sitar at home for 10 years, but it's only now that I got to eventually use it for real, twice on my 3rd album. Enjoy the combination with an Axe FX II :)

Upgrading from a very old firmware version

Hi all, I have an Axe FX II currently under firmware Quantum 1.05. I'm considering upgrading (to either Q 10 or Ares 1), but I have a few questions. is it safe to upgrade directly to Q 10 ? I read that the Ares firmware removed support for loading presets made before Q 7. Let's say I upgrade...

Archeology

Hello, I'm looking for an older version of Axe Edit for Mac, more specifically one that doesn't require a live connection with an Axe. It's for doing an offline GUI demo; not for actually using it for real. Does anyone have this, or know how to get it ? Thanks !

Bug? Synth block generates unwanted sound

Hi ! I have an issue with the synth block in Quantum 1.01. To replicate, just create a simple patch with an amp and a synth block on sawtooth / follow Pitch+Env (the issue probably happens for other parameter values). Play a couple of licks and the synth block quickly starts to generate...

Power problem with MIDI port

Hello, I have a problem related to MIDI connections and power. My Axe FX II is connected to a MIDI merge 2x2 box's first input. The other input comes from an Axon 100 mkII. The output of the MIDI merge goes to a Roland Integra 7. This setup works fine (read: I can play my guitar synth...

Bug? Axe Edit and file system blocks sync.

Hi again again, it seems that there are a lot of things that don't work well at the moment, when it comes to synchronizing the Axe Edit's vision of the blocks library and what's actually in the file system (at least, the OSX version). when you rename a block in the Axe Edit and save it back...

Wish Custom file names

Hi again, here's another wish I have for the Axe Edit: let us customize the file names for saved presets / blocks etc. The reason I ask is that I don't like the way file names are postfixed with _YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS. I use a revision control system (git, not to name it) for keeping my history, and...

Hi, I fear there might in a bug in the latest Axe-Edit's handling of global blocks (Axe FX II). Doing this all from the software, not from the Axe itself: 1. select a patch 2. Tweak one of the blocks (in my case, Amp 1) which has a global link. 3. Save & link as the same global block, save the...

[Q] Which kind of connection between an Axe FX II to a rack mixer ?
