    Axe-Fx III Firmware 22.00 Public Beta #5 (Beta 11)

    Would like to see the EVM-12L in a Thiele cab, but I suppose mic positioning will have to do. (My gigging cab in stereo for years).

    How good is the Axe into a tube power amp or even a really good SS power amp or even FRFR?

    Back in my Axe-FX II days, I put the CAB block at the end of the chain before Out1 (FOH), and grabbed the signal just before the CAB block to send to Out2 and my Mesa 20/20 => 2x Mesa Thiele Cabs (EVM-12L, of course). I felt - at the time - I was getting the best of both worlds...

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Release Version 19.06 Public Beta

    You are missing the point. And please take no offense. I'm in multiple bands, I'd like to keep multiple set lists (a couple per band). I don't think the idea of setlists being long enough to accommodate a nights work is a radical idea. The idea of breaking my set lists into groups of six...

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Release Version 19.06 Public Beta

    Let's hope that's the case - I can't imagine it's a stretch to double the number of songs per list. Not my dream outcome but at least it would be usable.
  12. JamesBWood

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Release Version 19.06 Public Beta

    The thought of having to use 2 lists to do the job of 1 is abhorrent (and wasteful). Basically limiting me to one "set list" for each band I regularly play with. Oh wait - that's what shuffling the presets is currently doing (and - by the way - what happens if you reorder your presets?). I...

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Release Version 19.06 Public Beta

    Yeah. I can do simple math. 128 songs is only 33% more than all the songs I play on the average weekend. 64-song lists * 4 might have actually been a benefit to me. But hey - only 4 years waiting. Maybe the Mark II version will be better.
  14. JamesBWood

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Release Version 19.06 Public Beta

    Did I miss something? My bands typically play 3 - 4 set shows with usually 45 - 50 songs on the list (put me in the "hard-working cover band" category). The set list feature only allows for 32 songs? And only 4 setlists? Please tell me I've misread the manual. @FractalAudio

    So... what will be in firmware 19.06?

    Set Lists??? Nah. That would warrant a 20.x - fer shure. (Oh damn - just saw @FractalAudio's post - can it be true??!!!)

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Release Version 19.05

    You'll also need to check any presets that use Auto Make-up in the Compressor block (got updated in firmware 18). I went from 16.05 to 17 (something), updated presets, then updated to 19.0x and had to run back through everything again (just 150 or so patches).

    Looking to buy FC-6 “fast link” cable the only option? If so what is a good length for “live” use

    SetList (Lack Of) Frustration

    I too, use different sounds for each section in a song. However, I rarely use more than 5 scenes per song (Hotel California w/ guitar harmonies uses all 8). I can't imagine having to select a different preset (and scene?) in the midst of playing and singing (segues notwithstanding). What...

    SetList (Lack Of) Frustration

    A song is a preset, a set list is the entire collection of songs for a show. Sections? Sets within the set list? This doesn't need to be complicated - you need a layout to put your fractal in (or out of) set list mode and to select which set list. From there you should be able to use...

    SetList (Lack Of) Frustration

    It's a linked list of presets. Fractal already uses linked lists for other features. Let's not make more of it than need be. How many? 0-99 sounds good. Add a feature to Axe-Edit to create and organize, and a set list layout for the FC's. Not all that different from AFX2 - if anything...

    This needs a bump. @FractalAudio has done wonders with the latest firmware and awesome new algorithms, but with all that a needed (and honestly, promised) feature has gone ignored. I'm gigging every weekend again (finally - heck, I'm doing two shows today) and having the set list feature...

    Mesa 20/20's are not known for low-end prowess unless modded - and even then pushing a 4x12?? I used to run my AFXII into a 20/20 and two Thiele cabs with vintage EVM 12L's. Decent low-end for 80's rock, but not really built for chugging. I used a Stereo 2/90 for that.
