    Warming a keyboard sound?

    Hi folks - I have been running my keyboard through the axe fx and am wondering what the best way to add warmth and saturation to a keyboard without distorting it or over-coloring the sound. Through an amp? Through a cab? Distortion set low? Through an amp with certain parts off?

    Ares is over ...

    This makes me sad, because I know this also marks the last new system on the Axe FX III, and I'll probably will have to save up for the Axe FX IV pretty soon. As is, I ended up giving my II and foot controller away. But until then YAY!

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Release Version 12.10

    I imagine every now and then it's cool to install 1.0 just to see how far we've come.

    Reamping two parallel signal chains at once?

    Hmmmm. I'll give it a shot. But isn't that just the same as recording the audio of the synth, which would be much louder?

    Reamping two parallel signal chains at once?

    So I can only record a DI signal for my guitar that runs into input 1? :-(

    Reamping two parallel signal chains at once?

    I have a guitar synth and a raw signal that I'm running in parallel. Currently to play, I run them to the same output, but is it possible to run one to output 1, another to output 2 and then record the digital signals of each so that I can reamp either one of them in Logic?

    I keep hearing low volume clicking sounds with the Electric Mystery on, like vinyl record pops.

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Version 11.02 Public Beta

    I also have an Akai MPC-X. It's funny how on those rare times they release an update, it's filled with more bugs and features nobody wants and people always are disappointed. Compare and contrast with Fractal. Quite something! Love it.

    Digital Out for every analogue out?

    Basically, I want to record 2 or 3 or 4 tracks at the same time so that I can reamp each one.

    Digital Out for every analogue out?

    Is it possible to send 4 raw signals, one for each out so that I can record them all at the same time for reamping later. In other words have two guitars, a bass and a keyboard each with it's own in/out all recording digital at once? If so, how?

    Putting all the update features together meaningfully

    But from a production standpoint... can you look at all the amp parameters when something doesn't sound right in a mix and say, beyond the main knobs, "this is what it needs"? Obviously it gets better with each update, but it could be argued that for all intents and purposes if most people can't...

    Putting all the update features together meaningfully

    It seems like I find myself playing with each feature introduced in an update and getting all excited about it, and then slowly forgetting about past added features. Like with 10.x it was all about the speaker impedance knob and then by 11.x it was about the speaker impedance curves and the...

    Will you be releasing corresponding updates to your AustinBuddy 1400 Naked amps to correspond with all these FAS updates?

    I meant the amps that have one of those corresponding impedance curves for their cabs.

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Version 11.00 Public Beta

    it's sort of ironic to think that despite having nearly 300 amp models, from here on in most users will end up using the models that now have curves for them.

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Version 11.00 Public Beta

    Thanks for the explanation, I was similarly lost as the poster. I'm still slightly confused. Isn't the cabinet literally just a physical filter of sorts... the sound is based on the impedance of the speaker as well as the physical construction of the cabinet, right? So when you say cabinet...

    Switching screens with FC (clarification)

    One thing you can tell right away with the Axe FX 3 is that is was developed (quite brilliantly) by engineers, but also they didn't involve people with psychology or user-experience backgrounds. I hope that changes as the product evolves. It's as if it's designed for other engineers and not...

    Switching screens with FC (clarification)

    I think that if FAS tried to implement it, it might be something that takes several iterations to get right perhaps. It obviously won't be all things for all people, and it can be as simple or complicated as the user chooses to make it. I guess I just keep on coming back to some of the...

    Switching screens with FC (clarification)

    Because users of the Axe Fx are going to flip out like it's the last straw on the camel's back? Like perhaps having a heading in a different color or some other UI technique couldn't address that?

    Switching screens with FC (clarification)

    And if for instance, you set it so it goes to the advanced parameters of every effect, on a FC-12 you have 8 or more settings per effect screen so assuming you have two switches for navigating to a different FC layout, that's still 80 possible parameters you can get to with a tap of the FC.
  28. D

    Switching screens with FC (clarification)

    I think it's just a different approach, another option that can be switched on or off. You can make the FC complicated or simple as is. It doesn't have to be complicated with screen changes, it depends on the user and how he/she sets it up. Yeah, there are those who say that they don't want to...

    Switching screens with FC (clarification)

    You could have it both ways. Either set it so nothing else happens or have it change screens AND do whatever existing function you choose.

    Switching screens with FC (clarification)

    Well, in that case you could also have an additional option in the function parameter where nothing happens except for a navigation change. If you say it should be a performance tool, then why not make it as useful as a bunch of stompboxes with all the knobs right there? Just because there are...

    Switching screens with FC (clarification)

    Forgive this new clarification to a previous thread last month. I wasn't sure how often an old thread gets followed. It seemed because I wasn't clear about the request, the thread strayed a bit. Here are more specifics. Add 2 or 3 (if needed) parameters for the EZ FC setup for tap or hold. The...

    Axe-Fx Firmware Version 8.00

    On the EZ setup page for the FC, right where you dial in the functionality of each switch for tap or hold, you add two or three parameters. One for the main screen type (layout, controllers etc), if it's layout for instance, then you can also choose a block in the second parameter and its...

    Axe-Fx Firmware Version 8.00

    Thanks but please, please, please... create the ability to navigate to any screen from the FC. It would help with my flow soooo much and I'm sure others would agree.

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Version 7.02 Public Beta

    Now please, please, please, Cliff, work on making any given screen available on the Axe FX by way of the FC. I need a fluid navigation experience.

    Preserving stereo from a stereo source.

    All these things and still nothing. :-( If anybody can replicate this and get it actually working, let me know.

    Preserving stereo from a stereo source.

    It was recommended that you then have one input select for right only and the other for left only, so that's why I have two parallel chains going with each starting as a volume block.

    I saw it in another thread.

    Preserving stereo from a stereo source.

    Right now I have my amps set to bypass... so it's basically just two rows going from each volume block to output 1.

    Yes, in the I/O panel the input 3 and output 1 are set to stereo. What are they for? The left and right outputs of my keyboard.

    Preserving stereo from a stereo source.

    Hi all - I am trying to run a stereo source (my keyboard) through the Axe FX III via the L and R inputs of input 3. From that I have two volume blocks, one set to input select L and all pans L and R for the other volume block. I have two parallel amp chains that then both route into output 1. If...

    Recording two digital tracks at once for reamping later?

    Is it possible to record two separate digital outs at the same time so that I can record two guitars at once and have two separate audio reference tracks and two separate digital tracks so that I can re-amp either guitar?

    Reamping without using AxeFX as the audio interface?

    Yeah, but it's kind of stupid to mandate that people have to use it in their studios. If they can afford an Axe FX 3, chances are they already have their studios configured with an audio interface of their choice. Why shouldn't FAS provide documentation on reamping using other interfaces...

    Hi All - Been loving my 3 now that I have it. The AF3 is plugged into two inputs of my Focusrite Clarrett 8 Pre X audio interface, an analog input and digital SPDIF. How do I set it up to reamp into my DAW? Given that the Focusrite has so many inputs for other instruments plus a Thunderbolt...

    Looper with MFC until FC12?

    So I got my AFX III. How do I set up the MFC-101 so I can use the looper? I used that all the time before, so it's killing me. I know you can't use the FAS connection and have to go the midi route, but how? And can I do that and still just use the FAS for power (the adapter is long gone).

    Are all amps just the same one with different params?

    Axe-Fx II "Quantum" Rev 8.00 Public Beta

    Hopefully, Cliff will pivot. That said, I would imagine that from a process perspective, it's easier to build on the work of measuring and retweaking amp parameters (as magical as it seems) than imagineering new effects from whole cloth or navigating the intellectual property legalities of pedal...

    No, there's nothing tin foil hat about building brand loyalty and Cliff does that in spades.

    It would be cool to have more effects. I mean there's a whole DSP dedicated to them too, and there's still so many pedals out there that do some pretty hard to reconstruct sounds that I'd love to be able to have at my fingertips. It can't be fair to say "yeah, well many pedals just throw...

    Using an acoustic guitar amp.

    I have an old Crate CA125DG 125 acoustic guitar amp that is broken with some minor issues. It always made my acoustics sounds great and is quite clean. I was thinking of using it for those few times when I play out with my Axe FX, instead of having it in the studio, since I have it. Are amps...

    Reamping with Clarett and Logic 10 (spdif)

    Is there anybody who has a Focusrite Clarett (I have an 8 PreX) that has got everything set up for reamping with spdif? There's a post in the wiki regarding a scarlett and abelton, but I'm still having a hard time with my Logic/Clarett setup. Has anybody figured this out?

    Reamping with Focusrite Clarett 8preX and Logic Pro X

    Hi all - Is there anybody who has a Clarett and Logic who has successfully reamped with it? I keep getting an error in axeFX. Mind you I want to be able to reamp and hear my mix back at the same time. I've looked here wiki.fractalaudio.com/axefx2/index.php?title=Reamping And still no luck.
