Fractal-Bot 3.00.02

I do have Logic installed, but it has not been running during any of my tests.

Fractal-Bot 3.00.02

Ok so I've worked my way back through FractalBot 3.0.1, 3.0.0, and 2.11.1 and they all have the timeout bug on MacOS 10.11.6

Fractal-Bot 3.00.02

Switched over to my Windows 10 PC and FractalBot 3.0.2 backups work perfectly with Ares 2.0 firmware. Thanks very much for that link, Rex. I'll give it a shot since I'd much prefer to stay on MacOS for all of my music related work.

Fractal-Bot 3.00.02

Troubleshooting update: tried downgrading to Ares 1.03 but same timeout bug with FractalBot 3.0.2. Tried downgrading to FractalBot 2.8.3 but it calls the Ares 1.03 firmware Quantum 11.03. Would like to try FractalBot 2.11 but don't have access to a copy of it. Is it available anywhere on the...

Fractal-Bot 3.00.02

Tried this and no difference. Same timeout issue. Rebooted my Mac and repeated, still using empty preset #383 "Bypass" - no change. Problem persists. This is on MacOS 10.11 if that's of any use.

Fractal-Bot 3.00.02

Using Fractal-Bot 3.00.02 to backup an AxeFX-II Original running Ares 2.0 is failing consistently. Each attempt to backup a Bank results in 3 attempts by Fractal-Bot then "Message Timeout: Bank A" or whichever bank I'm trying to backup.

Closed True Multichannel Capability: One Amp sim per input channel

Would it not be simple to add the Ultra amp sims back in as a relatively "lo rez" option? This is assuming that there is still not enough processing power in the AxeFXIII for six native amp sims.

Closed True Multichannel Capability: One Amp sim per input channel

The Boston-esque guitar harmonies are a huge part of the appeal for me, and I completely agree with your suggested strategy for anyone limited to three channels of amp simulation. For me an equal priority is being able to adjust and optimize the tone of each string independently. So I need a...

Closed True Multichannel Capability: One Amp sim per input channel

Certainly. Traditional monophonic gear doesn't suit hexaphonic applications at all. However the possibilities with an AxeFX III, with it's 7 inputs, and multichannel pickups like Cycfi are certainly tantalizing and could very much expand the hexaphonic market.

Closed True Multichannel Capability: One Amp sim per input channel

With so much processing power compared to previous models, Fractal could capture the entire hexaphonic guitar market by simply adding more Amp sim blocks - enough for one for each string. Even if the additional Amp blocks were of lower quality, AxeFX II or Ultra amps sims, that would still be...

FAS Amp block plugin compromise

I would pay pretty much any amount for a Fractal amp model plugin. I currently own 3 Axe-FXII's for my multi-channel guitar application and I'd so much rather use a laptop with interface & plugins.

Is there a Sustaniac-like block?

The Sustainiac operates directly on the strings as USMC_Trev said. Not possible for the Axe to do that in the same way. Are you referring to more of a Freeze pedal function?

Even the Axe FX tuner is brilliant!

Absolutely agreed that the Axe tuner is fantastic and as accurate and easy to use as a strobe tuner. My only wish is that there would be an option to turn off the string number display or change it to an octave number display instead. I know the majority of Axe users play 6-string guitars but...

What is possible with 2 AXE IIs?

It's certainly not a common scenario, but if you have an instrument hexaphonic or multi-channel outputs you can route strings separately into each Axe FX. Just hearing the strings of your guitar panned apart from each other in the stereo field is a fantastic sound. Playing 4-note jazz chords...

High-Gain with Low Output Pickups (String Pull)

^ Completely agree and this is a key point. String pull is only affected by the strength of the magnets and their proximity to the strings. It's important to keep in mind that magnetic field strength falls off exponentially with distance from the magnet. So even a very small change in pickup...

Best Midi Controller besides the MFC

Yes I find it really comfortable both for feet and for fingers. For me the switches on the lower row are angled just right and spaced just right to make it very easy for my big feet to hit any switch I want without worrying about accidentally hitting another one.

Axe FX II + Roland VG-99 = Axe FX III

Softstep to control modifiers etc?

I'm sure the MFC-101 more than covers most peoples needs, but the Gordius LG-X has two features which are a priority for me: quiet foot-switch action and a 1 octave keyboard-style switch layout for playing synth or bass pedal parts. It's an extremely flexible unit.

That's exciting! I'm hoping to be able to run one instance of amp simulation (not cab or other effects) per string in a multi-channel guitar system. I'm sure this will require heavy duty hardware - perhaps a Mac Pro.
