Don't get me wrong, I agree that AX8-Edit VU MEters would be sensational. To my thinking, the response does not have to be real time, some lag would be okay as the key is to get a visual representation of the peaking / normal levels.Opening a DAW is not really a reasonable workaround, IMO. And not everyone does recording and has an audio interface.
In the mean time, I will continue to use VU meters from the face of the unit, but I do 99% of my preset building in AX8-Edit. Adding a VU meter directly in AX8 Edit would be an awesome enhancement.

Can we add access to the VU meter from Ax8 Edit
Nope. MIDI over USB just doesn't have the bandwidth.Can we add access to the VU meter from Ax8 Edit
Not for sending audio or real-time updates, but it could potentially be done by sending samples (sending one update / second with the peak for that time frame, for example). If the tuner works in the editor, there should be a way to do this.Nope. MIDI over USB just doesn't have the bandwidth.
If full audio can be sent over USB into a DAW, and a DAW plug-in can have a meter, why couldn't Axe-Edit? I get Axe8-Edit probably can't.Nope. MIDI over USB just doesn't have the bandwidth.
AX8-Edit doesn't use a custom protocol to communicate with the hardware. It uses MIDI. Also note: the AX8 doesn't do audio over USB either. As I said: limitations.If full audio can be sent over USB into a DAW, and a DAW plug-in can have a meter, why couldn't Axe-Edit? I get Axe8-Edit probably can't.

Sampling is an interesting idea. The tuner sampling resolution is pretty low in the editor. Personally, I'd prefer peak indicators on the hardware itself over integration with AX8-Edit. But lower resolution, peak sampling could make it work.Not for sending audio or real-time updates, but it could potentially be done by sending samples (sending one update / second with the peak for that time frame, for example).

Same thing in Axe-Edit: MIDI for comms. It doesn't see the audio from the unit at all.Yes, I understand. This was a side-question about if it can be added to Axe-Edit, not Ax8-edit.
