    Axe-Fx III Firmware 25.00 Public Beta (Cygnus X-3)

    I use multiple guitars and like to have each one hit the effects and amps at the same level. I use channels on the Input block with different gain settings to quickly switch and love that I am preserving the impedance matching with the effects that way too. The one drawback is that there is no...

    Axe-Edit checks in with server while I use it

    My network monitor indicates that during most sessions Axe-Edit is checking in with fractal audio.com every 20 seconds on port 80 (quic protocol). This is different than the two check-ins which occur at startup (one on port 80, one on port 443, both http protocol), which occur when the check...

    Axe-Edit checks in with server while I use it

    I've noticed that Axe-Edit checks in with the server regularly while I'm using it. I'm a privacy nut and I would be interested in what the purpose of this communication is.

    The programming is literally: wait for a MIDI message, echo that message back. Half of that code is already implemented since the AFX already listens for MIDI messages. There would be a small amount of human interface code to let the user specify what channel the feedback occurred on. I...

    But how do the initial values get into Loopy? (the ones that show before you ever twiddle a knob) Do you set them all manually or is there a query process to get them from the AFX into Loopy?

    Post Your Axe-Fx III Rigs Here!

    Thanks for the info. Are you able to extract settings from Axe-FX into Loopy through some sort of query process, or are you just setting up Loopy with exactly the same settings that are on the Axe-FX and have to change those settings manually whenever you change your AFX presets?

    I use a variety of guitars with a kitchen sink preset.

    I'd be interested in what changes were made to the Two Rock model. I love it under Cygnus but I'm not perceiving the kind of quantum changes that happened in other models. I spent a bunch of time not playing it during the earlier Cygnus betas so maybe my memory is just off.
