Bug? Ghost blocks in FM-9 editor

Update 2024-02-12. I have just installed FW 6.0 and Editor version 1.02.09. Upon installation of the new Editor I followed the advise of some of the members below to completely remove the earlier version and only then install the new version. Also, following the advise in the release note from...

Bug? Ghost blocks in FM-9 editor

Hi, I know for sure that this has been reported before, but I can't find that thread anymore, sorry. I installed editor 1.02.06, and the release note says "ghost blocks that occasionally appeared when the unit was disconnected" have been solved. Now, I've had ghost blocks since 1.02.05, but not...

FM9 Firmware Version 5.00

I have the same problem with these ghost blocks and it happens randomly to all my presets. Seems to happen mostly when I step quickly through my setlist, which shouldn't be a problem. Might be related to a rather long USB-cable I'm using (10 meters), but for the rest it works and I didn't have...

FracTool - for power users only

I see ... thx for your quick reply. Actually I have no idea with which version the Axe2 presets were made, but for sure my Axe3 is not on 1.xx anymore for a long time. So, that explains it and if I understand it correctly now there's no hope Fractool will ever do what I hoped, is that right? And...

FracTool - for power users only

Hi Al, hi All, Over the last weeks I've been experimenting with the Fractool. Tried to convert about 5 presets from Axe2 to Axe3. Also three from FM9 to Axe3. Unlike most users who report success here I've only achieved badly damaged presets in my Axe3. Examples: delays with weird settings...

Axe-Fx III Firmware Version 2.05

Just a question, so not specifically related to 2.05 release, bit I did not know where else to put it. Question: I just read that the Midi 2.0 spec has been agreed upon and now various suppliers will start testing. I wonder, what are the plans for the Axe FX-3? Would it be possible at all to...

Axe-Fx III Firmware Version 2.03

Ok, good to know. So, what do you think I should do now? Ports seem to work fine, because Axe Edit works ok. Am I missing anything? Should the MIDI SCENE block be connected to anything on the grid?

Hi! Question. Just for a bit of experimentation I have put the MIDI SCENE block on my grid, put some CC-controls in there on two scenes, connected good old MIDI-OX for monitoring purposes, switched between the two scenes and ... nothing ... not on the MIDI-USB and not on the DIN connector :-(...

Tempo randomly syncs to rising and falling edge of midi

Thanks for your reactions. Since I wrote my initial message on this I also realised that I have not been very precise in the wording of my problem. Indeed the Axe syncs TEMPO perfectly to a repeated CC command to TEMPO TAP or to a MIDI CLOCK signal. The problem I'm having is the phase...

Tempo randomly syncs to rising and falling edge of midi

Thank you! You just gave me a great idea! I'll search for something that can be "triggered". Probably something there in the controller section that can, in it's turn, steer a wah or tremolo, etc.

Tempo randomly syncs to rising and falling edge of midi

Thanks for your reply. I agree the phase may need some one-time adjustment. I've had this perfectly working for several effects in the Axe2 for several U2 songs, eg the Wah, Delay mod and Tremolo. Sofar in the Axe3 I can't get this to work again. It jumps between "on the quarter beat" and "on...

Tempo randomly syncs to rising and falling edge of midi

Thank you for explaining that. Makes sense. However ... this does not solve my problem yet. I've sold my Axe2 so I cannot check it anymore, but I've had several songs where the LFO was in perfect sync with quarter note tempo setting midi CC's that I sent from my DAW. But I don't remember how I...

Tempo randomly syncs to rising and falling edge of midi

This could be a bug, and it's centrainly a whish for a change, the sooner the better :). I get the impression that the Axe 3 randomly syncs it's tempo to either the rising or the falling edge of a midi tempo signal, both if you use a CC for it and if you use a MIDI clock signal. Normally that...

Hi SoC9, Thx for yr reaction. Sounds logical what you say, and it is in line with what I was thinking myself (Windows way of handling USB drivers). However even MIDI-OX connected to the Axe-FX MIDI-over-USB causes crashes. In the past I connected the same setup with MIDI-over-USB via MIDI-OX...
