    Axe-Fx III Firmware 25.00 Public Beta (Cygnus X-3)

    Hey, guys... can anyone categorically tell me how I do a reset of the amp block? I'm not sure we covered it in the last 30 pages.

    ANYONE USE THIS IN A PROFESSIONAL ENVIRONMENT?

    Connect the Axe FX III to your audio interface via SPDIF or AES/EBU. In the Axe FX III's I/O Settings menu, you can choose which digital protocol you want to use. You must use 48kHz sample-rate when doing this. You can connect the Axe FX III to your computer via USB for Axe Edit functionality...

    SLO. Anybody digging this model? Am I missing the point?

    One of the best amps around IMO. My friend has one, and I've got a 2018 multi-watt Dual Recto. We had them side by side weekend before the one just gone, and as a pair they just really rock together. I'm on the understanding the the Dual Rectifier preamp is quite similar to the SLO100, but the...

    Wish Workflow improvement - select a block and move it with arrow keys

    Personally I wouldn't nerf or avoid this feature to suit the FM3. For example, the big knob is the one to use.. not the smaller encoder. Maybe the FM3 could use a smaller encoder, but I wouldn't make more difficult or less intuitive to use on the Axe III just to suit the FM3. When you select a...

    If you are on an empty block that has nothing in it (not even a shunt) ... change the DELETE quick action on knob 2, to 'DELETE COLUMN' and change the ghosted out 'BYPASS' quick action on knob 3 to 'DELETE ROW' This would allow a user to quickly delete out a parallel path or a column slice from...

    Go to either layout view. Go to a block to highlight it. Push big rotary encoder. (nothing currently assigned to this command from what I can see) Block is selected. Use left/right/up/down keys to move the block around the layout. Press encoder again to drop it.

  28. Orvillain

    Why is my SPDIF clipping when input 1 isn't?

    I actually can't do that with my current setup. The Presonus Quantum that is my master card, doesn't allow any mixing or routing like that. You have to do it all in the DAW. So you will always incur some latency penalty. It isn't much, but it is there. The Discrete 8 Pro SC I have is slaved to...

    Why is my SPDIF clipping when input 1 isn't?

    Actually... it sorta stands to reason that I could do this: 1. Use my Neve DI box as the dry DI signal. Record to a track in Reaper. 2. Use the THRU output on the Neve to go into the front of the Axe3. 3. SPDIF to Reaper from the Axe3. Stereo goodness if I want it. 4. When reamping from Reaper...
  30. Orvillain

    Why is my SPDIF clipping when input 1 isn't?

    Yeah, and trying to keep it in the digital realm as much as possible, without using the Axe3 as my audio interface because I have 16 channels of other bits of gear connected to my two main cards.
  31. Orvillain

    Why is my SPDIF clipping when input 1 isn't?

    So use spdif for the DI capturing, and use analog connections for the "amped wet" recordings? That makes sense. Means I can keep stereo effects on the amped stuff too. Hmmmmmm. Interesting. Could be a go-er.
  32. Orvillain

    Why is my SPDIF clipping when input 1 isn't?

    Ultimately I'm just trying to figure out a good recording and reamping workflow. I want to record a rough take with any preset, whilst also recording a DI.... and later on I want to be able to reamp that DI without really having to make any changes to patches or signal levels. Y'know.... just...
  33. Orvillain

    Why is my SPDIF clipping when input 1 isn't?

    Right. I see. Hmmmm. Yes, that more or less works. If I compare the same input signal split between my Neve DI box and using its THRU connection to also go to the Axe III at the same time, doing a -20dB adjustment on the Output 2 block, gets me within tolerance. But I have to set that up per...
  34. Orvillain

    Why is my SPDIF clipping when input 1 isn't?

    I'm running into the front of my Axe3 - so instrument input 1. This patch splits input 1 to an amp chain, and then dry goes straight through to the mixer. Amp chain panned left, dry signal panned right. Input 1 is not going into the red zone on the front of the unit at all. But it is...

    Yeah definitely. That's another usage I'd like to benefit from. To emulate that pattern tremolo kind of thing you'd get on a Strymon Mobius, or that goat pedal whatever the shizz it is called.
  37. Orvillain

    Wish Modifier capability for time values even when they are tempo sync'd

    Here's one reason this would be cool. I'm imagining being able to attach an LFO to the time control in such a situation, to change the delay subdivisions semi-randomly. The input signal is just a basic synth tone from my Novation Summit. Everything else is coming from the Axe III.
