    Sysex checksum for entire preset

    The formula to calculate the checksum for each Sysex message is documented and easy enough. But how is the checksum for an entire preset calculated? It's a 16-bit word (in 3 MIDI bytes) at the final Sysex message at the end of each preset. It's obviously not the same as the message Sysex, since...

    Axe-Fx II or MFC-101 MIDI CC messages

    I have an Axe-FX II with a MFC-101 connected to it via CAT-5. I have MIDI Thru enabled on the Axe-FX II as I need to access the PC messages from the MFC-101. Turns out that when I change presets on the MFC-101, not only do I see the PC message out the MIDI port, but also a bunch of CC messages...

    AX8 PC Bank Select

    The AX8 manual shows that the AX8 will accept Bank Select/PC messages, but it looks like it doesn't transmit Bank Select, only PC messages. Has anyone tested this? Is it true?

    AX8 footswitch functions@

    Longtime Axe-FX user, brand new to AX8. First thing I want to do is get out of Banks mode and assign one F switch to be preset UP and another F switch to be Preset down. Running from preset 1 to 500 or whatever the max is. No banks! You’d think this would be easy, right? Well, I looked at the...

    FracPad/AxeFX/USB/iOS

    Don't want to muddy the waters on the main thread with this question as there's already enough confusion surrounding this issue. I understand completely the situation with SysEX and the AX8 and USB vs MIDI on that device for FracPad, and I think I understand the issue with USB on the Axe-FX, but...

    XA-1 XA-2 distance limitation

    I have been able to run the XA-1 to the XA-2 about 50ft with no issues, but for our show, we would like to run the cable a lot further to get it out of the way of the performer's feet. The cable path is actually 200ft, and the XA-1/XA-2 won't transmit/receive that far. Anyone else run into this...

    Pick Attack functional on all amps?

    Does the pick attack parameter work on all amps? On the AC30TB I've tried winding it all the way up and all the way down and cannot hear any difference. Just thinking that maybe it's a parameter that only works on certain amps?

    Preamp without Cabinet

    Is there a "null" or "none" cabinet that I can select so I can process a sound through the Preamp section of the Cabinet block without any cabinet?

    The MIDI monitor app from Domestic Cat doesn't work on ios8. Anyone found a replacement? What I'm interested in is sending/receiving SysEx messages.

    FASLink to MIDI

    Does anyone know if the Cat-5 Axe-FX to MFC wiring contains MIDI In/Out in a normal sort of way that an RJ-45 to MIDI connector could be made? I have a FASLink setup now between the MFC and Axe-FX, but want to be able to switch out the MFC to a TB-5 but still use the FASLink connector. I thought...

    Internal RJ-45 connector

    I had the MFC open the other day to tighten a screw and noticed a 2nd RJ-45 connector inside. (At least I think it was RJ-45, might have been RJ-11 - I should have taken a pic) Anyone know if that happens to be a duplicate of the external RJ-45 "expansion" connector on the back that connects to...

    Recommended foot controller for minimalist setup

    We have an MFC-101 and it's great. However, we don't need all the functionality of it and would really like to have something more compact for fly-ins. The functions we need are: Display of current patch name Up/Down Patch # switches Scene 1/Scene 2 switches with visual indication of state...

    Complex dual-player programming question

    Here's the scenario... One Axe-FX is to be set up for 2 players. 2 guitar inputs, 4 outputs. I know how that is done with the volume block and so on. That part's easy. What's complex is the fact that the 2 players can be different people from night to night. One day Player 1 is "Bob", Player 2...

    Wish Insert Preset in new Axe-Manage

    In the old version of Axe-Manage, you could either replace or insert presets. I used the insert function all the time to rearrange presets. It would put the dragged preset (or presets) at the new location and move all the other presets down. If there's a workaround in the new Axe-Edit I'd like...

    Wish Axe-Edit offline functions

    There's no reason I can think of to lock out the creation of banks and reordering of presets in banks when Axe-Edit is not connected to an Axe-FX. These functions do not use the Axe-FX for anything AFAIK, so no reason to grey them out, just grey out any "send to Axe-FX" or "receive from Axe-FX"...

    Axe-Manage for Axe-Edit 3.0 Missing functions.

    So, I tried using Axe-Edit 3.0 with an updated Axe-FX for the first time, and unfortunately, it was a of a bit frustrating experience. There's some missing features from this version of Axe-Manage, so I figured a thread should be started to hopefully encourage the programmers to add some of the...

    What is this device?

    The Smashing Pumpkins - Tonight at Glastonbury 2013 - YouTube I would assume he's using a small hand-held speaker connected to his amp or something that vibrates the strings? Anyone know for sure what's going on here?

    Is there a common issue with AE3/FW11 communication?

    I see a lot of these kind of threads since the release of AE3/FW11: https://www.google.com/#q=communication+site:http://forum.fractalaudio.com&tbas=0 Is there a common issue with AE3/FW11 and communication or are these separate problems with different causes? I guess what I'm getting at is...

    Tapatalk issue

    It's been this way forever, but for some reason I decided today's the day to let someone at the forum know. Maybe others using Tapatalk can verify what I'm saying. I've used Tapatalk for years and it works fine on all other forums that I participate in. On the Fractal forum, however, the...

    Does the new firmware fix the tuner communication issue

    Still on v6.02 for now, but I'm wondering if any of the later firmware versions fixed the issue whereby if you select the tuner on the Axe-FX II, the MFC wouldn't show the tuner display and IA17 wouldn't change colour even though the system was in "tuner mode"...

    How much gain is added when recording dry tracks by USB?

    I thought the idea of recording dry tracks via the USB channels 3&4 was that the level recorded and returned to the Axe would match the guitar level so you can tweak patches properly. However, the level when returning those tracks via USB to the axe is about 20db hotter. (I dont know exactly how...

    Bug? Tuner Bug

    Seems that with Firmware 2.02 you can turn off the tuner via the MFC if its been enabled on the MFC or Axe-FX. BUT, you can't take the MFC out of tuner mode by pressing Recall on the Axe-FX. Has this been fixed in later firmware?

    IEM users

    I'd like to hear from players working live with only IEMs as to what cab/mic/room settings in the Axe have helped get an enjoyable sound that doesn't make you miss having an amp. Let me know what you like and has made a difference.

    Wish Alt Preset function to switch scenes

    Would like to see a global setting for the Alt-Preset function to allow it to be used to switch between scenes. Press a preset button and get that preset on Scene 1. Press it again and get Scene 2 of that same preset, LED changes to RED, Display shows scene name. Press it a 3rd time and you're...

    Axe-FX Tempo MIDI message

    What is the MIDI message the Axe-FX II spits out to blink the MFC tempo light? Does the Axe-FX II send any other tempo message when a preset is recalled? Does it send out Beat Clock ( F8 ) messages?

    Redundant Axe-FX setup

    Not that we've had any real issues with the Axe-FX, but lets say we want to run 2 of them in a redundant setup. This would allow a quick changeover should the main Axe-FX shit the bed. The audio output switchover is easy, with a Radial SW8. The MFC switchover is a little more difficult. What...

    Pedal jack wiring

    I have a latching pedal with an LED in it that I'd like to use connected to the Pedal jack on the Axefx. It seems that some voltage is coming out of the jack from the axefx because the led on the pedal blinks as I plug in the pedal to the Axefx. The pedal is only a mono jack with the led across...

    Bank Switch button on MFC

    I would like to have a footswitch on the MFC that goes through the banks. i.e. If you are in bank "A", pressing this button takes you to "B", then pressing again to "C", then again back to "A". Is that possible? The MFC is in Axe-FX mode with bank size of 0.

    System Backup

    What sort of information is stored in the "System Backup" that can be done when syncing? I thought it might be a firmware file but I tried to do an "Upgrade Firmware" operation using that file, but it didn't go. So how does one load that file, and what does it contain?

    Tempo light without tap

    Is there a way to have the tempo light on MFC flash to the tempo, but not have the foot switch control the tempo? I don't want the tempo to ever change unless it's edited on the Axe Fx

    Input gain per preset

    Sorry for the newbie question, but we have different guitars (many of them) used in the show. Some have a hotter output than others. What is the proper way to have the input level on the fractal change preset by preset so it will be correct for each guitar?

    Firmware upgrading and Amp defaults

    I've been reading that it's recommended when upgrading from version 6 to version 7 to edit the amp, change it's type, and change it back to load the default settings. Will I lose the amp settings I made in v6 by doing this? If so, how do I get the v6 amp settings back in v7? Or am I completely...

    Pedal preset inc start/end

    With the 6.03 firmware, maybe I'm missing something but I can't seem to get the rear pedal preset start or end setting to go any higher than 128. Is there a setting for 'bank' or something so I can get higher presets on this setting?
