    FM3 - Stuff

    So great, Leon. Both the tones and the way in which you describe what this thing can do.

    Has anybody played a Bass through the FM3?

    Can't wait to hear. I'm also very interested to hear whether the octave divider on the FM3, or the Axe-FX III for that matter, sounds appreciably more satisfying on bass than the one on the AX8. Don't know if you have time to include it, but would greatly appreciate it if you did!

    POG2-style attack/volume swell? (Different from normal autoswell)

    Hey guys, I've been meaning to do a video about how I eventually came up with a workaround to the autoswell question for my particular purpose, which I have now posted. The short answer is that I didn't really find a way to swell notes like the Pog/Hog do, but I got close enough with delays and...

    Shimmer Pad [Video]

    Hey guys, I’ve had this shimmer pad in my main preset for a while now, and while I use it on bass, it works great on guitar or any other instrument as well. I designed it not so much as a reverb type effect but more as a ghostly atmospheric pad that kind of hovers in the background, reacting to...

    Using the AX8 on bass - Video

    Thanks bo13bo! I don't remember which forum user I picked that up from, unfortunately. In combination with that EQ, I think it really works well, much more convincing than the pitch block.

    Any Bass Players using the AX8?

    Hey guys, I just posted a video in both the AX8 and Bass forums on using my AX8 live on bass. I use mine mainly as a tone sculpting tool for what I'm sending to the front of house (and by extension, my in-ears). It's basically a mix of direct signal and an SVT bass amp and cab simulation inside...

    Some airtime for the AX8 on bass

    I do! But only for stage. In fact, I have just a direct signal coming out of output 2 going to the amp, and a combination of direct signal and an AX8 SVT head/cab simulation going to the house. Our soundguy LOVES it. And our crew is the best :)

    AX8 2?

    I use my AX8 on bass and hardly ever use an expression pedal at all, so I am personally very happy with the smaller footprint that comes from not having one integrated in the board... AX8 mounted inside its case fits inside one half of my suitcase -- makes for very convenient fly dates!

    I sure did! I met Nao Yanagishima in Tokyo, who was incredibly nice. Not only that, but he contacted me shortly thereafter to ask me if I had a backup for my AX8 on this tour, which I did not. So he supplied one immediately, AND asked me which firmware I had on mine so that he could make sure...

    Are you successfully using your AX8 via s/pdif?

    That's in fact correct. AX8 s/pdif output is fixed at 48k, so your DAW has to match that. I work at 48k anyway, and just have templates set up (in Pro Tools in my case, but same idea) that are at the correct sample rate. Would be nice if all that happened automatically of course, but after my...

    Are you successfully using your AX8 via s/pdif?

    Quick update from my end: I bought a Focusrite Scarlett 6i6 and it's been smooth sailing with s/pdif and my AX8! Just worked right out of the box. This means I can have the digital inputs (5&6) dedicated to my AX8, and have 4 inputs available for anything else, like I meant to with the Komplete...

    Axe-Fx II "Quantum" Rev 9.00 Firmware Release

    I think what they’re saying is that ‘middle’ could also refer to its position in the frequency spectrum — meaning flat, not boosted, not cut. Which would also make sense conceptually.

    Are you successfully using your AX8 via s/pdif?

    I think you're right. Maybe I should amend my post to say that in this limited sampling, there are problems reported with the KA6 on Mac but good results on Windows. The Scarlett 18i20 seems more problematic across the board though, again based on this limited sampling. But your point is well...

    Are you successfully using your AX8 via s/pdif?

    Seems like we're at an impasse with this... Most devices work with the AX8's spdif, some don't. Strangely, it seems like even within the same brand, some do and some don't, like the Scarlett 18i20 that seems to be pretty much incompatible. And alas, my Komplete Audio 6 falls into that category...

    Are you successfully using your AX8 via s/pdif?

    I'd be more than satisfied with that scenario. Unfortunately, my Mac does not update to 48k at any point and any audio just comes out as stuttery distorted garbage.
  31. Whynot Jansveld

    Are you successfully using your AX8 via s/pdif?

    Thanks, I checked it out... I don't believe it applies here since the AX8 doesn't have the option to be set to external clock, it's always internal. Thanks though!

    Are you successfully using your AX8 via s/pdif?

    My particular problem is this: when I hook up my AX8 to the Komplete Audio 6 via s/pdif, and then switch over to External Clock in Audio MIDI Setup, under 'Format' it switches to 44,100 Hz, and it's no longer a pop-up menu so I can't change it (see attached pic). I can change the clock to...

    That's precisely why I'm trying to make this work. I'm more than happy with the sound from my XLR or 1/4" outputs but would love to free up the analog inputs on my interface :)
  34. Whynot Jansveld

    Are you successfully using your AX8 via s/pdif?

    Very interesting... I may just have to pick up one of the Focusrite Scarlett interfaces, just so I can narrow down whether the problem exists with my particular AX8 unit or not.

    Looking for recommendations - audio interface

    @benvigil And you said you are on a PC, right? I am on a Mac myself, and for some reason the Komplete Audio 6 incorrectly identifies the AX8 as a 44.1k device, rather than 48k. Tried everything, and have spoken to both Fractal and Native Instruments about it, but have not found a solution.
  40. Whynot Jansveld

    @benvigil You mentioned using the Komplete Audio 6 -- I have it as well. Have you been successful in connecting your AX8 to it via s/pdif? Reason I ask is cause I've had problems with it that neither Fractal nor Native Instruments have been able to solve.

    Ax8 s/pdif Logic Pro

    Thanks! The problem is that with Clock Source in Audio MIDI Setup set to External Clock (S/PDIF), which forces the sample rate below that to 44.1 (strangely), the sample rate in Logic is also forced to 44.1. I can change that setting in Project Settings to 48 k, but it'll pop right back to 44.1...

    That's how I currently have it. So as per my example, my main signal path is clean, amp plus cab are in a parallel chain, and I can turn those on or off by muting or unmuting the amp block. The only problem there is that I can't blend the mix -- the amped signal gets stacked upon the clean...

    Exactly. So my feature request would be that in addition to an On and an Off state for each effect in a Scene, you could also have an Ignore state. In your scenario, you'd set the parameters for your amp, delay and reverb the way you'd want them to in Scene 2, and you'd set it to ignore your...
