    Can't buy Reverb Upgrade?

    Hey all, I can't see the option to buy the reverb upgrade on the shop page? What gives? https://shop.fractalaudio.com/fas-fx-reverb-1-5/

    Can we have a FAS Delay plugin?

    I'm primarily a recording/mixing engineer and producer but I own an Axe FX II. I always absolutely loved the delay blocks on the Axe FX II. While there's a ton of delay plugins out there, I'd still love to have a FAS delay available to me in the DAW. I think I'd prefer it to having FAS reverb :)

    Do G66.eu ever have sales?

    Anyone know if the AXE FX, or any fractal products for that matter, ever go on sale in Europe? Specifically, the UK.

    Arduino Controller - Rotary encoders jumping around

    Hi All, I'm a total novice when it comes to this but hopefully someone with a little more experience can help me out? I'm building a small MIDI controller to use with my Axe FX II. It's four endless rotary encoders (pulled from a BCR2000) connected to an arduino uno. It transmits midi on...

    Bass control for USA amps?

    Prevent Axe-Edit pausing when being sent MIDI clock

    Hi fractal humans, This seems like a no-bariner to me so please correct me if I'm wrong (I hope I am) but it seems that you can't send the Axe Fx II a tempo via MIDI without Axe Edit pausing communications. This makes re-amping and tweaking from a DAW a major pain. I need to be able to tweak...

    Does the Axe-Fx III align tempo-based effect to the downbeat?

    Does the Axe FX III align the start of the tremolo (for example) to the downbeat? Using MIDI clock and play/stop messages like a synth or drum machine would. So the start of the modulation waveform is aligned with the downbeat of the incoming midi clock?

    Wish: Assign modifiers to any parameter

    So, in my previous post here:https://forum.fractalaudio.com/threads/control-tempo-synced-rates-with-modifiers.90803/page-3 I've just discovered that the Axe FX II actually has the ability to assign a modifier to ANY parameter and this can be done with FracPad but not Axe Edit. This seems...

    Crashed at a gig!!

    Played a gig last friday night, and my axe fx completely froze on me in the middle of a song. I'm using a Mastermind GT/16 to change presets. During one song I changed presets and no sound was coming out of the Axe. I turned around to look at the front panel of the axe at the back of the...

    Wish Block Library for Sequencer

    It would be a huge bonus to be able to recall sequencer patterns somehow. Entering the same basic starting patterns all the time is tedious to say the least. Anyone else find this?

    Wish Axe Edit Notation to denote the "Real" amp controls

    I'm sure this has been stated many times before, but it seems kind of stupid how I need to sit here with Yek's amp guide open at the same time as axe edit - only so I can reference what the Amp controls are on the real thing. It seems to me that, one way or another, this information could...

    Axechange needs a revamp and some TLC!

    I've always liked the idea of Axechange but it's not really a very nice website and it's dreadful to use. Any chance we might see a re-vamp in the future? A better way to browse presets would be nice, offering tags such based on timbre/effect (i.e. clean, distorted, crunch, synth, bright...

    Extract all individual presets from Bank file?

    Hi Guys, I was wondering if there is a way to extract all of the presets quickly and easily from a bank sysex to individual presets sysex files? I'd like to organise the factory presets a little differently on my computer so I have access to them as a library. My plan is to organise the files...

    Does anyone else have issues trying to organise presets?

    There are 767 slots on my axe fx II XL. Managing them while allowing space for the creation of new sounds is a daunting task. Should they be organised by timbre? Where you leave spaces for new sounds? What happens when new versions of factory presets are released? I'm using a RJM mastermind...

    Wish Organise presets by colour or tags in axe edit

    Just how the cabs are categorised by colours, it would be fantastic to be able to do the same with presets. The worst thing about using the axe regularly is finding the sounds you want when jamming. Any sort of system that makes displaying, say all"Clean" presets, quicker would be great...

    Reverb Hold Default State

    Hi All, Whenever I assign an external controller to the reverb hold, it's default state is on when it should be off. I think this is a bug but posting here first... First i unplug my mastermind GT completely from the axe fx. Then I set the hold switch to off in the reverb block (using axe...

    Not your average guitar-based music

    Hey all, I just finished my bands first album "The Multi-Dimensional Satchel". It's got Axe-Fx all over it. I used it for Guitars, Bass, Clarinet, Violin, Vocals, Drums and reverbs all over the album. Theres no soft synths, all the sounds were made using the Axe-FX and/or a POD HD500, Kaoss...

    Real version of Axe synth block

    Hi all, Does anyone know of a "real life" hardware version of the axe fx synth block? Any pedals out there with pitch tracking, three voices, exp pedal controlled filters and same choice of waveforms? I've just finished an album for my band and we used the synth block a lot on the clarinet -...

    Mastermind GT Flight case advice

    Hi Guys, I'm now the proud owner of a Mastermind GT16! Loving it so far, it's making my life so much better ;) I've got it hooked up to an EV-1 expression pedal and have a mission SP-1 RJM on the way. Does anyone have any advice on a good, tough flight case to buy for this setup? Most of...

    And now for something a little Psychedelic

    Heres a track I made recently. I used the AxeFX II XL for everything except the Bass and Drums which were made using Logic X stock stuff. There's an Ebow being used too, thats it. No mastering and not the final mix but here you go anyway :) Let me know what you think.

    Tremelo Beat Sync Issues

    Can someone explain to me how to get the tremolo in sync if I'm playing to a metronome (no DAW). I'm using a square wave tremolo for a really choppy synth effect but it doesn't sound right if the square wave isn't on the beat exactly. The waveform alignment doesn't seem to have anything to do...

    Compressor Gain reduction meter

    It would super super useful to see the compressor gain reduction meter in axe edit other than just on the screen. A similar meter for the gate would also be very useful. Does anyone else feel this would be beneficial?

    How to Match Amps and Cabs?

    Hi everyone, I've had my axe fx II a while now. I don't have a lot of knowledge about amps or cabs. I have a few standard set ups which I always use as a basis for creating new tones. I mainly bought the axe to play with interesting fx set-ups and use modifiers as it was before the release of...

    Sync Tremelo with other FX blocks and LFO's

    Hey all, does anyone know how to sync the tremolo with other effects such as the phaser? I'd like all LFO's and waveforms to sync up across the whole unit. As it is all the different fx blocks seem to start in different places creating some unpredictable results - i.e. their modulation LFO's...

    Liquid Foot or RJM in UK?

    Does anyone know if it's possible to get hold of a GT mastermind or Liquid foot+ in the UK? Buying one from the states is going cost a fortune in import tax not to mention shipping... While we're on the subject can anyone vouch for the liquid foot controllers? Seems like a good product but...

    Wish It would be great if each switch had a small LCD screen

    It would be great if next to each switch there was a small label screen that could show a programmed label or the name of the preset or effect being controlled by the switch. Anyone else feel like they're missing this?

    USB Ground Loop Isolator - Full speed or High Speed?

    Hi All, So the USB ground noise is really getting on my nerves. I was thinking of getting one of these:http://www.amazon.co.uk/HifimeDIY-Isolator-ADUM4160-signal-isolation/dp/B00M1QQBJ0 however it only works on USB "Full Speed" devices. Is the Axe FX II XL USB full speed or high speed...

    Axe Edit making selected logic track pan

    FCB1010 Expression pedal doesn't start at the heel...

    Hi all, I've noticed that the expression pedals on my FCB1010 UNO don't send any data for the first 1-2cm that they are moved. Each pedal sends the full range 0-127 but 0 starts at just under half way rather than when the heel is right down. I've calibrated the pedals over and over again...

    Looper Start/Stop and Changing scene or preset in the same stomp

    Hello Hive Mind, I'm thinking of getting an MFC because using the behringer FCB with the looper is unbearable - mainly because the lights on the pedal don't necessarily correspond to whats going on on the axe. And I can't see what preset I'm on without looking at the axe screen which is a...

    Run Sequencer Controller with MIDI start message

    Hi All, Does anyone know if it's possible to trigger the "Run" button on the sequencer controller using a MIDI start message (MIDI Specification: MIDI Start) so when you press play on your DAW or on a loop pedal the Axe FX sequencer automatically starts running in time with the MIDI clock.

    Axe FX II LFO/Envelope Modifiers and Crazy sounds.
