    accessing view 2 for effects on FC12

    Hi, I am just configuring my FC12 and is it possible to have a 2nd page view on the effects layout #3? Meaning could layout #3 (view 1) display the first 12 effects and then go to layout #3 (view 2) and see more effects? I see on the FC edit config in Axe Edit that there is a view #2 but it...

    OFM15G - version for the FM9 + FC6

    Hi, I know there is the OFM15G for the FM3 + FC12 but is there also a version for the FM9 + FC6? Really what I am trying to accomplish is this: use the existing OFM9G on FM9 have it so the top 3 buttons on FM9 always present scenes, effects and presets (I know when on presets the farthest...

    Using FM9 for vocals with Rode NT-1 & Phantom power (Neewer NW-100)

    Awesome, thanks very much. I was wondering if that was the case, that in addition to the audio inputs blocking incoming phantom power, the use of the unit I noted above is really only powering the mic and not passing the phantom power to the FM9 anyway. Thanks

    Has anyone built a cab (or know of any commercially available cabs) to also house the Axe FX III

    Has anyone built a cab (or know of any commercially available cabs) to also house the Axe FX III

    Haha, when you put it that way it does sound like an accident waiting to happen. Might have to re-think the vertical/behind the speaker portion :)

    Has anyone built a cab (or know of any commercially available cabs) to also house the Axe FX III

    Yes exactly! I do realize that would make the cabinet quite large and deep but I do not play out and this is purely for a set up in my home studio. I like the thought of the controls facing upward as I can just walk over and tweak things more easily pointing down then with things horizontal and...

    Has anyone built a cab (or know of any commercially available cabs) to also house the Axe FX III

    Thanks and that looks awesome! I found a picture of one of the old XiTone ones and this is along the lines of what I'm looking for. The only main differences is that I am wanting the Axe FX III mounted on the top back (vertically) in behind the speaker. I am sure that I saw one of these at one...

    Can damage be done by incorrect connections of blocks on the grid?

    Hi, I am been a Fractal user for 10+ years from Axe FX II, Axe 8, Axe FX III, FM3 and now FM9T.

    Controlling parameters with midi device like Midi Twister?

    Thanks everyone for the input. Although I would love to use the Midi Twister in the interim, what I think would be amazing is if Fractal offered a midi unit that looked like a pedal board with maybe 8 or 10 different shaped "pedals" (or maybe 2 different sizes) that allowed to to allocate/map...

    Chaining 2 FM3's

    Hi Joe, Just circling back on this as I have sold off my FM3 but still much prefer using my FM9 over the FX3 (as I just prefer the floorboard config). Since my FX3 is just sitting there unused, I thought that I would try a similar set up where the FM9 ran via SpDIF into the FX3 and then SpDIF...

    Virtual Capo

    The slightly odd but interesting observation.... I have an FM3 connected to an FM9 (via SpDIF) and really just using the FM3 for comp, pitch(capo) and some drive. Letting the FM9 handle all the amp, cab, delays, verbs etc. What is very odd it that using the pitch block in the FM3 at say -3...

    Hmmmm, thanks Glenn. Oddly enough I think I had rebooted and had the shift set back to zero to test and try to pin down the issue. Maybe that was part of what I was experiencing. Thanks Derek

    Virtual Capo

    I am finding that I cannot get the virtual capo to function in a useable way. I am on an original Axe FX III running FW 21.02beta. I have created a new patch simply using Input->Pitch->Drive->Amp->Cab->Reverb->Out (probably 40% CPU max). I have the pitch as the 1st block after the input, set to...

    Looper gap

    Hi, yes the gap is definitely there and I have repeated the process numerous times using both the play button to playback the loop vs the record button (a 2nd time) to playback the loop) and every time it is perfect with the record a 2nd time and every time it is off when using the play. I do...
  38. D

    Looper gap

    Gotcha, thanks! I do have the work-around for now by using the record a 2nd time but is I do get an FC-6 to go with the FM3 and then use the OMG+9 layout, I imagine the issue will be resolved as the play button will no longer require the hold function. EDIT: Alternatively, I suppose I could...
  39. D

    Looper gap

    Thanks Chris, So are you saying that since an FM3, by default, has a hold function on the "play button" to take you back to the menu, that is causing the issue? Thanks D
  40. D

    Looper gap

    Much appreciated! As far as CPU, I am getting it on a newly created preset with 32% CPU usage. EDIT: to note, I just tested on the Axe FX III and I am NOT getting this issue....it is just on the FM3. (Haven't tested the FM9 yet) Thanks, D

    CPU usage
