1. Each preset holds twice as much data. This allows more complicated presets that contain more parameters. Since each block that has X/Y capability has twice the parameters than if it didn't have X/Y this allows for more blocks with X/Y capability. So I've added X/Y to the Parametric EQ, Graphic EQ and Pan/Tremolo. This also allows for more instances of effects, like Drive blocks. It also leaves room for future expansion.
2. The DSP and modeling are identical. Firmware shares the same code base so firmware updates apply to both equally.
So what is the difference between the midi on the II vs. the II XL, and under what conditions does the difference matter?
^^^
- Double-capacity preset size allows for expanded functionality including X/Y switching on more blocks and more instances of effects.
- 128 Mb of non-volatile Super-FLASH memory allows for storage of up to 512 presets and 512 user cabinets with copious reserves for future expansion.
- Primary VALUE entry via optical encoder with a lifespan of 1,000,000+ rotations.
- Built-in backup firmware allows recovery in the event of complications during update.
That's cool that means we will still get updates for the AxeFx2 m2Yes they will. The XL will be sold along side the Mark II
I solved that problem by moving from Ottawa to California.Yes, a cool upgrade but for us living in Ontario theres a 13percent tax plus shipping....
This for me too I just need to sell something or start savingGreat feature updates on the XL. Thanks Fractal team for the continued improvements. I appreciate it. Sounds like the XL could be the new primary and my existing Axe II could be the backup rig!
