While distance off axis does crudely correspond to high cut, every small difference in position causes different peaks and notches. Figuring out how to imitate that accurately with math is pretty non-trivial.

true, but if you are thinking iteratively the ordering doesn‘t have to be perfect. If IRs are in ABOUT the right place by some measure, you can home in on them.

I have to say the profiling and it's already a very cool feature in a kemper and now in the cortex. That really enhances a modeller. Amp profiling expands the possibilities enormously. we hope for the big fractal firmware update.

After a year with a kemper, I can say that I hate profiles. It feels really limiting to me. Imagine being stuck with an amp with the knobs stuck. I much prefer the modeling philosophy, so I hope fractal will still develop their amp models and effects.

You should buy a product because of what it can do NOW, not because what you hope it will be able to do LATER.

I buy Fractal for both reasons - it's really good now, and considering past practice as a predictor, it will keep getting gooder in the future at no additional cost.

 

[hole]

I'm with you if you put it like that!

 

[TenorKeith]

it will keep getting gooder

I believe the term you're looking for is "more gooder"

They are talking about beta coming soon in the AX3 thread hopefully FM3 guys get a version as well
crazy amount of work sounds like he has 15 amps done

"Private beta"... That's for the real beta testers, not the rest of us

 

[teddis]

Cmon.......send one to Randall.........

D’oh totally missed that one

Lol nah , i leave that stuff to trained professionals

I dont mind how they do it, but cab ir modeling rather than hunting cab by cab speaker by speaker through thousands of irs

I still don't get it. IRs are captured by mics. So you'd have a mic model over top of a real mic?

When Cygnus appears, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then a new modeler will come, the last and best, and all Fractal Audio-disciples will live happy ever after and all the Kemper-stuff and all the other modelers will be gone forever. And there will be no more tube-amps too ... oh sorry, I felt asleep for a moment!

O Captain! my Captain!
And the best Kemper and QC profiles will be of Fractal amp models
O Captain! my Captain!
And Cliff says, "Make it so!"

look at mikko stuff.

 

[Karl Houseknecht]

look at mikko stuff.

Those are "cab sims", and you can export IRs from them based upon your cab and mic selections/positions. Are they IRs under the hood?

That’s the main reason I haven’t been interested in a Kemper. I think what would set a Fractal profiler apart is that Cliff could incorporate the component level into the profiles/captures/whatever, so where with Kempers or QC’s, you’re stuck with what they set as the parameters for the B/M/T/Gain knobs, as where Fractal would be able to add the actual EQ section from the real amp, maybe using a drop down menu or something. Like if you profiled a Dual Rec, then load it into a preset, in the profile block there’s a drop down menu where you select the amp closest to that profile and Bob’s your uncle. I have no clue how they program that stuff so it might not even be a possibility, but in my un-educated head it works!

That's basically what's described in last Cliff's patent.

A cab sim IS an IR.

The MIKKO software is based on a large collection of IRs based on how Mikko (the man) described it. He had to shoot tons of IRs to cover all the range of mics and placements.
