Question about synth, scene changes

Thanks for the very specific advice. I will have to sit down and see if I understand how to implement it.

Question about synth, scene changes

I have made a patch that has the synth in the FM9 playing the keyboard chords for the chorus of Fly Like an Eagle. Basically the Fremen drones patch, just modified. What I am trying to figure out is if there is a way to get more chord options. I have a similar patch for Another Brick in the...

Problem with multiple patches

After going turn it back on, it is no longer giving the CPU error. Given that it was rebooted several times, not very reassuring that it seems to be randomly working now. I was checking in the FM3 editor, so that was probably the issue with the amp being listed. That was happening despite the...

Problem with multiple patches

I am at a bit of a loss here. I have generally had a good run with Fractal products since getting an Axe Fx2, around 2012 or 2013. About a week ago my Fm9 stopped booting up. It has been sent in for repair. Thankfully I have my FM3 as a backup, or so I thought (I have a gig Friday). The FM3 has...

FM9 Turbo stuck at boot

Thanks for the recommendations. I was not tracking the emergency boot loader option, I tried it. Unfortunately that does not work. The screen will change from white to black, but nothing ultimately shows up. So looks like it has to be sent in. Unfortunately I have a gig next week. On the more...

FM9 Turbo stuck at boot

About a month ago my FM9 Turbo started to freeze when booting up. The LCD screen is more or less solid white, it just sits there. The first time it happened I was rather nervous, after 5 minutes or so it finally booted up. Other than maybe once, it has continued to do the same thing. I am not...

What do you guys assign to your 2-button external foot switch?

I can't say I was aware of the difference. That would probably be the issue then, I will have to take a look. Thanks for the advice.

What do you guys assign to your 2-button external foot switch?

Currently I have a 2 button switch where the first switch toggles a filter before the amp for a gain boost, and the second toggles a filter after the amp for an overall volume boost. Still deciding how well it works. The other night for example I was at band practice, and after 30 minutes or so...

Wasn’t there a free Larry Mitchell cab back floating around some time ago?

I was adding in some old cab impulses from my Axe fx II to my FM3 earlier this week. I imported these three, no problems.

In Praise of the Virtual Capo ***FW 5.02b1***

To add to the discussion, I tried the virtual capo for the first time last night. I don't have a reference point for comparing the previous firmware to the current beta. I did not even bother with it previously because my experiences with other pitch shifters in the past (digitech gsp 2101...

Grunge Tribute Band Demo

I started with a grunge tribute band earlier this year. We are focusing on 5 big grunge bands from that era: AIC, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Nirvana, STP. Recently recorded 7 songs, as part of a demo for booking shows. All the guitars were recorded with the Axe Fx II.

“Coming Back to Life” (Pink Floyd)

It is actually a cheap Indonesian Squier strat, I'm not sure of the year. But the pickups are the fishman fluence strat set, so perhaps that balances out a bit. I tried to upgrade the guitar with locking tuners, a new neck, a Tusq nut, etc but only got so far. I could not get the new neck to...

“Coming Back to Life” (Pink Floyd)

Thanks for the comments. I have attached the main patches used (my axe fx is downstairs so I am not absolutely certain, but I am pretty sure these are the main ones). The clean tone is a slight variation of a patch from Tyler Grund. I was not getting the clean tone right, so I looked up that old...

“Coming Back to Life” (Pink Floyd)

I have been working on tones from the Pink Floyd album The Division Bell for as long as I can remember (not quite literally, but close to it). There are certain sets of tones that I have in my mind as archetypal, pure reflections of something I would like to one day achieve. Tones Gilmour had on...

https://soundcloud.com/prufroc8/ramble-working-version My cover band recently went to a studio to record a couple songs, in order to have a demo for some of the nicer venues that require some sort of promo package. The singer found somebody who had really cheap rates. Unfortunately, it was a...

Sounds good. Captures the Floyd vibe well, visually and obviously in terms of the music as well.

Are there any Axe FX owners here who have never owned a conventional amp?

I have never owned a proper tube amp. Early on I had a Peavey Bandit, a solid state. Similarly, I had a very small crate solid state amp for a bit. Otherwise, I had a Line 6 Vetta that was my main rig for a long time. Before that I used a Digitech 2101 straight to the board.

Two midi controllers: Pod Hd 500 and FCB1010?

Thanks for your response, it is good to know that this is not a fruitless endeavor. One question comes to mind: when you used the pod and the FCB1010, did it require a midi merger? I was considering if the midi out of one could go to the midi in of the other and then both midi signals routed...

Two midi controllers: Pod Hd 500 and FCB1010?

I have done a search, so far I have only found one post that touches upon the idea of using two midi controllers with the Axe Fx2 (mk2 in my case). I have been trying to figure out if this is possible. In my case, I have been using a Pod Hd 500 as my controller for some time now. I also have a...

Any hi-gain amps that clean up really well when the GAIN is toned back?

Another recommendation is the Dirty Shirley. I had a gig last night that primarily focused on modern country tunes, but with some more classic ones thrown in as well. Given that I knew I was not going to have the time to try out multiple patches at gig level during sound check, I wanted just one...

Wearing the Inside Out, first solo (Pink Floyd, The Division Bell)

Gilmour's tones off of The Division Bell are probably my favorite of his tones over the years. Since I have had the Axe Fx I have messed around trying to cop the tones from two specific songs: Wearing the Inside Out, and Coming Back to Life. I have patches with dozens of iterations from over the...

Axe-FX II: Pink Floyd - Coming Back to Life (Intro)

Sounds great. The Division Bell has my favorite Gilmour tones. Coming Back to Life is a particular song I have tried to base some tones off of, both the cleans and the distorted leads. I have also found that the closest match for this clean tone is no amp/cab. I am still chasing the lead tone...

S/PIDF question from a newb

For what it is worth I have a emu 1820m that I use with the axefx II, and I usually connect via spdif. I just have one spdif cable running from the axefx output to the emu input. Works fine, no problems. I believe there is a setting in the emu patchmix program to sync the digital clock...
