AX-8 10.00 Release Candidate #2

[Rex]

The lag I was seeing in RC1 when switching effects on/off, changing scenes, changing presets, etc., is gone now. Great work! Many thanks for your tireless work, FAS!!!

Confirmed. Stuff is snappy and fast now.

Should fix the lag problems when controllers are attached to the amp block.

Fix confirmed. I'm loving the quick response.

There's a problem with LFO 1 speed when set to e.g. 1/4 and LFO 2 is set to none. It starts with with a doubled speed and first needs changing to another divider then back to 1/4 to be ok again. Unfortunately next time I load the preset I have to redo this procedure. I changed my preset to set LFO 2 to 1/4th as well and everything is fine.

Edit: Funny. Saving the preset to another bank (39-1) and using it from there fixes the issue. Copying it back to the original preset number (30-1) makes it come back.

Same behaviour with LFO in my Presets!
I Copied it from Bank 2-1 to 6-8! When jumping between this two identical presets, the rate doesn't change, if icome from another preset, the blinking Tempo LED isn't syncron to the Tempo anymore and i have to set the divider in the LFO again!

I can't reproduce this.

Well, before I say the bug I encountered, let me just say...THIS FW SOUNDS FREAKING AWESOME! Got me 80% closer to the tones I'm trying to emulate with only minor changes to my presets. The switching is indeed lightning fast and my cpu dropped by about 2 or 3 percent.

Now on to a bug. I control the input drive to my amps with scene controller 1. I went to lower the [max] value of the [input drive modifier] from 3.5 to 3, and I noticed the sound didn't really change, so I lowered it to 0. It sounded like a fizzy, bit-reduced version of the amp, without the volume getting quieter at all. When I unlinked the [input drive] from [scene controller 1] and relinked it, changing the [max] value behaved as it usually did. Back to normal, and I have no problem editing that value any more after the unlinking. Strange.

Anyway, thank you Cliff and the whole Fractal beta-testing team. You the real MVPs.

Lol. Good substitute for the "ant-viagra"...

Now I've got this visual stuck in my head. If you think ants were a problem without Viagra...

Man... Tried out that new Friedman 2018... That thing is deluxe!

I downloaded your preset. I can't reproduce this issue. It's working as expected for me.

 

[cnaufel]

Just installed and played for about 1h...AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[badmagick]

I downloaded and tried this release. Sounds great. Just one issue that has been plaguing me for a while. I had the same issue with the Axe Fx II as well.

I tried making an “Insane Talent” patch but just can’t get it to work!

Please add a talent block on the next release!

That was FASt.

.... spell check FUNKED up my words !
Does it make you think of insex , or insects ?

Everything is working great for me now. I’ll give it a proper run though at practice this Sunday.

Well... insects, actually.

The sound is outstanding...but I think I have again problems with X/Y or something related. I made a new preset (with RC2) with the Friedman BE C45 (ufff what a amp!) and the TX Lone Star Clean. in the Y is the Lone Star and on the X the Friedman. When I change from Y to X it's clipping everywhere. I restarted the AX8 and is still Happening. With the other presets there is no problem . I will upload the preset so anyone can try it and see if it's something wrong with me only or it's general. Thank you All!
