    How brilliant is this!? Take a listen.

    I stumbled upon this today completely by accident. When I was a young man (yeah - a very long time ago) my band's "trademark" was performing classical pieces in a modern idiom, including this piece. This piece that I found, performed by Sinfonity, goes well beyond that. When I saw this, I...

    Mac OS X Catalina - MFC-Edit Won't Launch From Desktop

    MFC-Edit isn't officially supported on Mac OS X Catalina at this time. Apple have changed something in Catalina (I don't know what that something is at this time) so that if you upgrade your OS you may no longer be able to launch MFC-Edit from the desktop icon or from the Applications folder...

    Released version 8.5 today

    Minor changes for MAC OS X Mojave. Better password handling. Support for Oracle Java 11. UPDATE: I've discovered that the "Virtual MFC-101" feature of MFC-Edit does not work with Java version 11 because Oracle, in their infinite "wisdom", have JavaFx libraries breaking the Virtual MFC-101...

    Mac OS X "Mojave" update notes

    If you upgrade your Mac OS X to Mojave (released yesterday) then the Tools->Send File to MFC-101 and the Tools->Receive Dump from MFC-101 will not work. Everything else works as expected but you will need to use Fractal Bot to send and receive sysex dumps to/from your MFC-101 when you have...

    MFC-Edit Window Scaling on HiRes Windows 10

    There have been a few posts over the last year or so from users who purchased a hi-res but small (11, 12 or 13-inch) size laptop running Windows. The MFC-Edit window came up tiny on these displays making it too small to use in some cases. Thanks to the good work of MFC-Edit user Ronald Hoot...

    Version 7.2 released over the weekend

    The most obvious change is doubling the size of the Virtual MFC-101 window - it was really small on QHD 11-inch monitors. Enhanced debugging and diagnostics to aid people having problems getting their MFC-101/Computer transmissions to work reliably.

    A Shout Out to Gibson USA (the company)

    I've owned a Gibson '69 ES-345 since I was a teenager and been very happy with it. I always wanted a Jazz guitar so naturally I looked at Gibson guitars and what I could afford was an ES-175 - not elite, but very much a Jazz "staple" guitar. I purchased a used one from Reverb.com and got a...

    I'm thinking that each Preset could have an "ALT SCENE" the same way it has an "ALT PRESET" then you could toggle between the current SCENE (default 1) and the ALT SCENE with the switch :) rather than have the SCENE TOGGLE feature only toggle between scenes 1 and 2. Instead, you could toggle...

    Axe-Fx II XL+ as Teleprompter

    MFC-101-W (Wide)
