    All four cabs muted. Why do I still hear a quiet sound from the amp block?

    No - I’m not saying “What is the current behavior?” - that is as you describe it. I’m talking about the real world, where having all of your cabinets offline/muted, there wouldn’t be any sound to generate an ‘Air’ signal. I submit the behavior is wrong because of that.

    Importing Fm 3 patches into Axe FX III mk 2

    (Not yet helpful) - why did you do your backup as blocks as opposed to presets? It seems it would be harder to reconstruct the FM3->AXFX3 presets, as you'd need to remember the various blocks used in the preset(s). I'm of the school that backing up presets is best.

    Perhaps the scene philosophy doesn't generally permit drastic parameter changes (too bad), or for that matter, any immersion into the block level parameters. I would actually enjoy the ability to control amp boost from a scene change!!! For now, I do it with a SCENE CONTROLLER.

  60. plyall

    Bug or stupidity (14.00)?

    I agree, but I think there's still room for debate... In effect, scene changes are all about ENGAGE/BYPASS right? IMHO, MUTES are also like an effect bypass in this context (mute speaker A on scene 2, and simultaneously unmute speaker B)? I'm my twisted ex-engineer mind, this makes sense.
  61. plyall

    Bug or stupidity (14.00)?

    Good stuff! But let me ask you this - couldn't the CHANNEL change be used to load completely different speakers? That's a big job. The scene change (IMHO) should really be capable of managing cabinet mutes.
