USB Firmware V 1.15 Release

Actually that does make me think of a similar possibility with my setup, I have our main PA power amp on the same power bar as the Mac and Axe and it does seem to coincide that I most often lose the Mac output to Axe at rehearsals, which include powering up that large amp just before we begin...

USB Firmware V 1.15 Release

Yes I can concur that on my Mac mini I'm still experiencing issue #2, the usb output is not switching to other channels, it just stops outputting. My DAW tells me that the audio is leaving it fine, there is correct activity on the output meters of the DAW but the Mac output goes silent.

Wish 2 quick wishes..

Just because I know that on the Axe it would be designed better, implemented better, and would work better than on any other device that does the same: 1) Poly tuner 2) Real-time feedback controller (for my mando, acoustics and Dobro). Yes I use parametric EQ, etc but real-time response...

**HELP** - USB audio dropping out when using AXE Fx III as audio interface

I have the same issue with my Mac 2020 mini M1. After being on for a few hours (or days) it stops seeing the AxeIII as its audio interface, a reboot of the Axe always fixes it. I assumed it was a Mac issue, I made sure everything under 'power' settings was set to 'never sleep' but it still...

Converting latching switch to momentary?

Update... Ernie Ball does have the 6168EB mono pedal with the switch wired directly to a jack on the front.. however I don't know if the switch is a DPDT like the 6165, if it's a single throw switch (open/closed) then you would not be able to use the method I discovered to SIMULATE a momentary...

Converting latching switch to momentary?

Yes again you're correct. This method that I've discovered and that is working perfectly is best described as: 'Taking a latching switch and allowing it to SIMULATE a momentary switch's action, by having both/either state of the latching switch repeatedly trigger the same event/action in the...

Converting latching switch to momentary?

Thanks, I found one in my junk drawer that should fit. However I would repeat that it is possible to have software turn any latching switch into momentary by detecting the transition instead of the switch state, and generating a trigger every time any state change is detected. I believe the...

Converting latching switch to momentary?

Ya may end up there.... Thinking it thru, that last idea has one fatal flaw... Every time I switch patches, if the switch on the Ernie Ball is already sitting in the state of the wrong scene, I'll have to hit it twice to get into the correct scene. Not a show stopper but annoying So... ok...

Preset +1 on FC6 switch

Update..I only need 4 presets for tomorrow's gig so I just assigned the top 3 switches to 'direct preset select' + the preset number, and that's working great. However using the exact same procedure, if I try to set any of those switches to instead 'preset +1' it's non functional.

Yes I assume I'm on the correct layout/page because the mini display above that switch shows the name of the first preset in the group after I assign the '+1' function. However pressing the switch just reelected the same preset over and over. If I change the range to 0 -511 it works but...

MIDI compatibility question

I wanted the smallest possible footprint onstage but still with a lot of versatility and control options. For me the MorningStar MC6 Mkii and an EB Expression pedal do the trick. The AxeIII is rock solid with Midi, there's nothing I haven't been able to access, control or do. Response is fast...

Wish Value knob: Shortcut to Perform Screen

Wait.. hold the presses.... when I set one preset to Perform Screen and change presets via external Midi pedal, it DOES stay in Perform Screen mode for each preset I select. D'oh! Sorry didn't try that sequence of actions until just now.... all good! Man I love this thing.

Wish Value knob: Shortcut to Perform Screen

I would actually love to see a global choice where I could ask the Axe to default to 'Perform Screen' on all presets. That would be perfect for me for live. I could turn it off for programming, rehearsal, etc. but would love that to be front and centre always when onstage.

Understood. Interestingly, our gig volumes are quite low, usually small pubs and venues, so to be able to get that cranked amp sensation at very low volumes is great when we do a song that requires it.
