Every product has a lifecycle & if you want the most updates possible, get in at the very start of any products life cycle.
I have the AX8 & the FX8 & truly love both “As is”! Fractal promised me nothing but a great product & delivered that both times & then some.
Wanting & hoping for updates is a very understandable thing. I get that, but if you just bought an AX8 in the last year, you are way late to the party in its life cycle. You did buy a very refined product & never had to go through all the previous bugs, issues & updates. It’s issues are well documented & known, it’s major strengths are also well laid out.
The AX8 & FX8 will be producing amazing tones & FX for years & years to come. If they don’t work for you now “As is”, they never will & you own the wrong thing. That’s not a bad thing either, just move on......Fractal owes you nothing! The re-sale on Fractal devices is at an all time high for the AX8.
I know that Cliff said that updating the AX8 is a royal pain & very difficult........& the programmer has moved onto another company. That alone might be what stopped or might stop any further updates.
I’ve had several small issues regarding my different Fractal devices & every time they made it right! I’ve had help from their employees & this forum......& am proud to be among the Fractal family here.
I’m on the latest AX8 firmware, gig out & have no issues at all w/ it. If you are having issues, contact the Fractal team & they’ll make it right, they always do. Just my 2-cents here........& my point of view.
Peace! X
