    Many CX-3 PA Bias Settings Substantially Lower?

    While CX-3 certainly sounds amazing, a huge leap forward IMO, I'm just curious as to why many Class A/B power sections are now biased in the 40's - 50's percentage-wise? EL34's for example are typically biased between the high 50's - low 70's percentage-wise? Again, love the sound, and of...

    Cygnus X-3 For FM3?

    Hate to be "that guy", but wondering whether Cygnus X-3 will be included in next FW release? Many are not concerned with gapless switching, but very much need the updated amp modeling etc. Thx...

    Wish Dyna-Cab Load Bypass Option

    Dyna-Cab decompression and loading adds considerable time to the boot sequence, which under emergency stage conditions, i.e. a crash, is a problem for those not using Dyna-Cabs, i.e. those using guitar cabs, another cab sim, or standard IR's. It would be great to be able to defeat the Dyna-Cab...

    How to Zoom Layout on HW?

    Once Layout is selected on the HW, it used to be that you could press Knob A and the Layout would Zoom Out so you could see the whole grid, though now with 7.x release it instead brings up the Amp Block's Amp Selector? Bug, or am I missing something?

    Bug? 6.02b1 Losing system+gb+fc.syx params

    Last night got to rehearsal and all my system+gb+fc.syx params were gone, second time they've been wiped by 6.02b1 and/or Editor 15 (first time was after first power cycle post the initial install of 6.02b1. This second time the FM3 was fine yesterday morning when it was packed up, but...

    [fixed] Controller Channel and Settings Not Persistent After Save and Power Cycle

    These are the bugs that are now killing me (this is what caused VOL/PAN 1 not to respond to ADSR 2, wrong Controller Channel and ADSR 2 settings etc)... a) Controller Channel not persistent when saving from 5.03/FM3-Edit-Win-v1p05p09, and rebooting. b) ADSR 1, ADSR 2, Envelope/Manual, Scene...

    FM3 External MIDI PC Problem?

    Hmmm, last night at rehearsal the FM3 4.x had a issue receiving MIDI PC's from Ableton LIVE, details... Problem: LIVE sends a PC on MIDI Channel 1 at the head of every song/medley, and for this song it was PC 1. The problem was on the 4th song of the set the FM3 receiving PC1 called up a empty...

    Wish Add More Scenes (and some Channels to some FX?)!

    I did a search and didn't find anything related to this, so, how about a total of 12 or 16 Scenes? In my case the show is automated, so Scenes are called via MIDI, and the most important thing is gap-less switching/cross-fading, and pristine delay/reverb tails, so I wish for more Scenes (vs...

    FM3 4.x Scene Revert and Channels?

    Hmmm, I was under the impression that Scene Revert should switch channels back to the default one once another scene has been selected, and the original scene is re-selected, is that correct? 1) FC3 Hold Setup: Effect/Channel Toggle/Pitch 1/Primary Channel D/Secondary Channel A. 2) Scene...

    Do Latest FM3 Edit/Drivers Support old Axe FX II Editor (Windoz)?

    Sorry for the dumb question though my Axe II isn't here for a couple of days so I can't try it myself. I've just installed the latest FM3 Edit and Drivers on a Win 8.1 PC. So, will my old Axe Edit for the Axe II (Ares) work with these latest FM3 Edit Drivers? I'll need to have both Axe Edits...

    Scene Changes Unreliable When Receiving MIDI Clock?

    Setup: Ableton LIVE sending Axe II MIDI CC's for Scene and Volume, and MIDI Sync for delay timing. Problem: Scene changes become unreliable when the Axe is receiving MIDI Sync (i.e. some Scene changes are ignored by the Axe, randomly, though sometimes every second attempt works, which of course...

    Axe II Mk II - Ares 2.0 - 9/18/2019 Tone Match Block Issues?

    Not a Bug Ares 1.0 MIDI PC Issue?

    Looper Playback Sticky Across Scenes?

    AX8 MIDI Loop BAck Switch Assign Question?

    Can The AX8 Do This?

    Axe FX Ultra Looper Control?

    I was wondering whether the Delay-Looper's "Play Control" updates to "On" after the "Record Control" is clicked twice (once to start recording, and again to stop recording and start playback)? If yes then I'd only need to click "Play" once to stop playback etc, right? Tried the MFC area...

    Disconnect Preamp + Tonestack From Power Amp?

    Possible Amp Block Bug (Ultra v11): Tube Pre/Active Tone Stack Loses Bottom End.

    Hi all, I wonder if anyone else sees this? Using the Tube Pre with it's Tonestack set to Active rolls off the low end (all setting @ 5, power amp on, Low Cut and LF Xformer at minimum). I believe the Tube Pre uses the Vintage Tonestack which is also light on the bottom end? I was hoping that...

    Axe II DSP For FX Only?

    Am I to understand that if one is not instantiating any Amp Blocks that there's only one DSP available for FX (same as the Ultra), or is there some CPU load-sharing happening when there are no Amp Blocks instantiated thus allowing the Axe II's increased DSP to be available for FX? Thanks...

    Rocktron Midimate v1.x's Ten IA Controller Mode

    More Basic Delay Blocks Wish

    I usually need more than two of the basic delay blocks, and end up using dumb-downed multi-delays as basic delays though they are more resource intensive etc, so I'd like a couple of more basic delay blocks if possible, (up to 3 or 4 from the current 2).
