    Wish Workflow improvement - Deletion mechanics

    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...

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

    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.

    Wish Block library on hardware

    I don't know if this is even possible with the current generation, but I'd love to be able to store some block presets/block library to the hardware, and browse them in a simlar way to how we browse the algorithms themselves. I don't need thousands of slots. Just 8-16 would do. If this isn't...

    Orvillain Starter Blocks Thread

    For a while I have wanted to do some blocks that would help me get up and running quickly. It might seem a bit silly, but this kind of stuff is useful to me. The idea here is to have a bunch of starter blocks that get me into the ballpark, and I can tweak from there. So first up is Hall...

    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...

    Wish Sub-folder support for blocks library

    This is what you get when you start expanding your block library currently: The sub-menu option disappears and you get the classic browser interface. Which is okay. But I'd really rather organise my files on disk by sub-folders that I choose the names of. So in the case of the above I could...

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

    I'd love to be able to use the built in LFO's and sequencer to jump between 16th note, 8th note, dotted 8th note delays, all sync'd to the tempo.

    I've been a tone nerd.... 53 unique tones!

    Across the three main albums that Tacoma Narrows Bridge Disaster has, I have 53 unique combinations of amp channel and range of pedals/effects. This means I would need 53 presets in Fractal land, if I wanted to just make a preset for each one and make use of the gapless switching to switch...

    Plex Delay Mix - something I'm missing??? [resolved: the 'mix law' is different]

    I've got an odd issue here and I could do with just sanity checking it. I've got the Axe3 in 4-cable-method with my Marshall JVM410HJS. Everything is setup as described in the 4cm part of the manual. Now with no effects when I enable and disable the effects loop on the JVM, I get the same...

    Let's show some love! What is the thing about the Axe3 that made you grin recently?

    I'll start - gapless switching. I'm really loving it. I hadn't gotten around to properly trying it out for so long until the last couple of days. I've got the Axe3 setup with my Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, and using the Axe3 for all of the lovely effects. I've got one of those midi switching...

    AFIII Just a quick ambient tone shootout

    In this I compare the Axe III, Helix, and Timeline+BigSky combo. Just running a digital delay and a reverb. I wanted to know what the differences were. I really like the airiness that the Axe III gives you. The other two seemed a bit darker and murkier.

    Wish Allow Modifier assignment to Delay block EQ frequencies.

    You can get tons of movement and texture by moving the frequencies of the EQ in the delay block around. But you can't assign LFO's or envelopes to them. This would be a really good sound design feature.

    Marshall JVM410HJS - real amp versus Axe3

    So I and @MirrorProfiles were talking recently. We both feel like the Axe's Satriani JVM doesn't really sound like the real thing. Does anyone else feel this way?? I'm comparing them back and forth, and the Axe version is both fuzzier, seems to have more emphasis on the pick-attack (but in the...

    Dual Recto, Axe3, midi

    If you own a Dual Rectifier and you want to switch the channels on the amp directly from the midi scene block on Axe3, I can highly recommend one of these: https://emcustom.eu/amp-midi-switcher-interface.html I got one for my multiwatt recto, and it is working a treat!!

    Replicating the Helix Glitch Delay on Axe3

    Sorry in advance. I know these topics can sometimes get a bit heated. I don't mean to besmirch the Axe3. But there's an effect on Helix called 'Glitch Delay' which I've really been digging. So you've got a digital delay.... you set a time value .... and the algorithm from what I can tell...

    What's the safest way to rig up Axe3 with valve amps?

    I've got a 4U wooden rack case for the Axe3, for home use like. But if I wanted to go out on the road with my JVM or Dual Recto, I'd be a bit iffy about having it sat on top of the amps, with all the heat from the amp entering the case. So how are people rigging up in this scenario? Just...

    Best way to change amp channels via midi without changing Axe preset?

    My Diezel D-Moll takes program changes via midi allowing you to change the preset on the amp - which is essentially channel, loop on/off, midcut on/off, master 1/2. Don't have my MFC yet... but curious about how I'd set it up so from three switches I can send a PC to the amp without affecting...

    My Axe FX II and MOTU 8Pre USB don't play nicely together

    So I run a Hackintosh machine here at home, running OSX Mavericks 10.9.2, with a MOTU 8Pre, Logic X, Pro Tools 11, Studio One 2.0, Cubase 7.5 and a wide variety of plugins and what not. I've generally been plugging my Axe into the combi inputs on the MOTU and recording the audio. Last week I...

    Poweramp dampening question

    Hey. Is it normal that the poweramp damp value changes from amp to amp when you switch through them? Is it normal that a selection of the models seem to have it turned all the way down (full dampening) and is it normal that these models sound a bit muffled and lacking character until you turn...

    AF2 on the way...

    So I've been gassing for an Axe FX for about four years now, basically since I heard about the Ultra. Well I finally ordered one. It was a b-stock from g66, one of the AF2 Mark I's. I plan to use it in several ways: 1. For live and rehearsals use it in 4-cable method with my Diezel D-Moll and...

    I *think* I'm basically settled on the Axe II ... but some questions...

    Okay, so today I tried out a Kemper, and I don't think its for me really. It didn't sound bad, but I didn't have that "OMG!" moment I had when I heard the Axe-FX. So... my intended rig is to be: Axe-FX II Matrix GT1000FX2u Marshall 4x12 w/V30's I guess then, I'm looking for some setup...

    Has anyone done a good recording/demo that's similar sounding to Tool?

    Heya, I'd say the fundamental tonal reference I have in my head for the guitar tones that I like, is Adam Jones' sound on Tool 'Lateralus' ... has anyone gotten anywhere near that kind of tone with the Axe-FX II? I'm going to be switching to an Axe FX II at some point over the next few...

    Question about live use with a foot controller (MFC probably)

    Heya, I've got a question about live usage, in particular foot controllers. I'm thinking the MFC, but this applies to any of them I suppose. If you don't want a single patch per sound that you use in a set, and rather want to emulate a traditional amp channel changing situation, how would you...
