Yeah, something doesn't add up here.But I wonder how the file became a pdf in the first instance.
Try downloading the zip file again.

The drivers, ax8-edit, and fractal-bot are all okay and work. As soon as I try anything from the firmware page (2 downloads available) they are all pdf?Yeah, something doesn't add up here.

I thought it was a system file? or an exe file?.STX? Do you mean .SYX?
What do you get when you open the .PDF file that should be a .SYX file? What does it look like in the PDF reader? And how do you know it should be a .SYX file?
What does that mean? Are you saying that the firmware page on the Fractal website only contains PDF files and no ZIP files? It's hard to understand what you're saying.As soon as I try anything from the firmware page (2 downloads available) they are all pdf?

What does the Boss Katana Tone Central have to do with anything?Even the Boss Katana Tone Central is ok. It's just that 9.03 Firmware.
Sorry about the confusion. Easy said; whenever I try to download the new firmware, they are both pdf files. The release notes should be, but the other file should not be a pdf, but it is. The second file is huge and the should not be a pdf.You thought what was a system file or an exe file? It's hard to understand what you mean.
.SYX files are not system files.
Yep. I uploaded a picture of what I'm seeing. Thanks!Did you download it from here?

As you can see from the name it's a syx indeed, as I said previously you just have accidentally associated that extension to Adobe reader.Sorry about the confusion.

I used Fractal-bot to back up the AX8 the other day and it was easy as pie. As I open up Fractal-bot now and select AX8, I only get 1 green check versus the 3 green checks, so it won't allow me to do anything. Honestly, I've never had these problems before.As you can see from the name it's a syx indeed, as I said previously you just have accidentally associated that extension to Adobe reader.
Just open fractal-bot and load that file from there.
That's another problem.. Are you sure the ax8 is properly connected with usb and there aren't other opened applications using its midi ports (ax8edit, cab-lab, DAWs, Chrome, etc..)?I used Fractal-bot to back up the AX8 the other day and it was easy as pie.

Also, my AX8-Edit works like a charm!As you can see from the name it's a syx indeed, as I said previously you just have accidentally associated that extension to Adobe reader.

Ps: remember to unzip it first
Right on! The AX8-Edit was open and running!That's another problem.. Are you sure the ax8 is properly connected with usb and there aren't other applications using its midi ports (ax8edit, cab-lab, DAWs, Chrome, etc..)?
And also make sure the correct midi ports are selected in Fractal bot
Looks like it's working! I'll let you know. Thanks for all your help and patience.That's another problem.. Are you sure the ax8 is properly connected with usb and there aren't other opened applications using its midi ports (ax8edit, cab-lab, DAWs, Chrome, etc..)?

You're welcome. Now you know that the ax8 can be connected to just one app at a time.Looks like it's working! I'll let you know. Thanks for all your help and patience.
