Fractal Fanatic
I am sitting here about 300 km away from my Axe-Fx 3 and would have some time to build presets. I have Axe-Edit loaded on my laptop, with the latest firmware definitions installed. So technically the only reason I can't do anything with Axe-Edit is that there is no Axe-Fx 3 to connect to it.
If Axe-Edit could work offline in this situation, I could build presets, configure the FC controller etc while not having access to the actual hardware. Obviously you can't hear anything but you could set things up and ready so the next time I connect the Axe-Fx 3, Axe-Edit could just ask "preset X has a newer version in Axe-Edit, do you want to replace the one on the hardware" which would just update the preset, FC settings etc to what I configured offline.
A second usecase would be for those who don't have a Fractal unit yet. They could try out the editor and learn how it all works before they commit to buying it or while waiting for it to ship. For example everyone on the FM9 waitlist could open up FM9-Edit and learn it while they wait for the hardware to become available so they get started faster.
While this is not a perfect solution, it could work simply by coming bundled with "latest block definitions available when the editor was packaged and released" that it could use in absence of an Axe-Fx.
