Wow 7 separable inputs! What doesn't the III have besides 6 drives? I guess I need to start thinking of upgrading from the II.The Axe-FX III has 7 inputs: 1 mono and 3 stereo

The H9000 costs $7000. You could buy three Axe FX IIIs and have a grand left over. And if it's like the H8000, it takes an eternity (in live use terms) to load a new preset because they have to be compiled from scratch when loaded.The H9000 doesn't have these types of limitations.... Put as many or as few of one block/algorithm as you like until you max out...
I have a couple AxeFX III units. That is not a good solution. The request is to allow more open-ended use cases for, in my case, studio mixing. I don't care about preset switching speed - I don't switch presets while mixing.The H9000 costs $7000. You could buy three Axe FX IIIs and have a grand left over.

I too once pined for the flexibility of the H8000 in the Axe, but the load speed is far more of a priority for me. The H8000 was pretty much useless live.
Killjoy, this won't harm you if you don't load all the blocksCliff has posted the reasons for having a fixed number of specific blocks and what happens when each is instantiated, including DSP and memory concerns. I doubt many users here would want the Eventide paradigm. For most guitarists, loading speed is king.
I could not wait to make a provisional arrangement to test it.
I'm just repeating information from the man himself regarding the reason for limited instances. I have GK pickups on all of my guitars and, like you, have built homemade devices to improve their functionality. No one is a bigger proponent of hex processing than I am. But Eventide products compile the code upon preset load. Their presets are nothing more than text files before they are loaded. This makes the presets extremely flexible, and extremely slow to load. I'm guessing that Cliff could add instances of certain blocks, but I just don't see Fractal going the Eventide route.Killjoy, this won't harm you if you don't load all the blocks
Only allowing six Vol/Pan blocks would already be a great step forward, because it would allow effects like the Poly Slow Gear. The Poly Slow Gear was available at the VG99 and older products, but it is one of the many cool features that Boss/Roland has cut at the new SY-1000
Have you tried gates? You have four of them, and they have lots of options for sidechain source. Just add a filter block, cut off one string — Keith Richards style — and you're good to go.I thought that I would be able to create a Poly Slow Gear using four Vol/Pan blocks and two Filters (All blocks have the possibility to assign a modifier to Level), but I have found another inconvenient: there is only one Envelope modifier, and it can only be assigned to either Input 1 or Input 2
This would require six independent envelope modifiers with the option to select any input L/R channels independently as Input Sources.

Another wish at the queue
Anyway, not all hope is lost. CodeSmart (Primova Sound) is creating a small hex-preamp with Poly Slow Gear, Poly Freeze, Modulation, Arpeggiator...
