So I've been up and running with the Axe FX III for a week or so now, loving it. Started tinkering in Logic and re-amping etc, and I've found an issue with Logic Pro X.
Hardware: Macbook Pro 2013
OS: Mac OS High Sierra (10.13.5)
Problem:
Axe Edit freezes or cannot connect when Logic Pro X is running. Otherwise it is fine. This is annoying when trying to tweak amp settings via Axe Edit whilst recording/re-amping with Logic open.
Steps to recreate connection failure
1. Connect Axe FX III via USB, make sure Input and Output in OSX sound settings set to Axe FX
2. Open Logic
3. Attempt to open Axe Edit.
Result: Green light in Axe Edit says "connected" but text at bottom says "Please wait communicating" and never connects. I notice the Input lights for 'Input 3' on the Axe FX front panel light up green as well - could be related?
Steps to recreate Axe FX freeze
1. Connect Axe FX III via USB, make sure Input and Output in OSX sound settings set to Axe FX
2. Open Axe Edit first and test - all OK, can select presets, edit, etc
3. Open Logic
Result: Axe Edit is no longer response to preset changes and appears stuck on whatever the last preset was. I can change presets via the unit itself, but Axe Edit doesn't update. GUI controls also appear to no longer work (prest button, minimize, pause, etc) on Axe Edit.
Once Axe Edit locks up like this, the only way to get it working again is to turn off the Axe FX and turn it back on. Fractal Bot won't connect either when this happens.
I suspect the 2 green input lights on Input 3 on the front of the Axe FX III display might point in the right direction as to what is going on?
