Axe-Edit III 1.09.00

Quite the update. Going to take some time to wrap the old brain around all the location changes in the amp block. Looks really good. Well done Fractal team!
 
so just updated to 16.03 and updated the editor... really thrilled with all the new changes... but...
i can see that the setting to store my saved blocks is still pointing to the right directory, and in that directory I can see my wah block that I saved... but clicking the library area now does not show any of my blocks. tried "refresh library" no luck. shutdown/restart editor - no luck.

RELEASE NOTES

VERSION 1.09.00
JUNE 15, 2021

Current Axe-Fx III Firmware Version: 16.03

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
  • Mac version requires OS version 10.7 or newer
  • Windows version requires Windows 7 or newer
  • Minimum firmware version 3.02

NEW IN THIS VERSION

* Support for firmware 16.03
o Complete redesign of AMP block layout. This includes the addition of new pages and a headroom gain meter on the Ideal page.
o Added Compander to COMPRESSOR and DELAY layouts.
o Added "Zero All" to GEQ layout.

* Corrected a bug in the Perform View which showed "ghosted" labels from a previous preset where a control does not exist in the current preset.

* Corrected a bug in which the Perform View closed when displaying the Controllers or Setup parameters.

* Corrected GAIN meter for COMPRESSOR Studio types.

* Fixed a bug regarding importing FM3 presets with Phaser blocks into the Axe-Fx.

* Added editor name to the "Preset Leveling" window.

* Added "Copy to End" to the Scene Mgr's dropdown menu. This will copy the current scene to all of the scenes that follow. For example, selecting "Copy to End" from Scene 3 will copy Scene 3 to Scenes 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8.

* Added "Copy >>" and "Copy <<" buttons to the Perform view which copy all the Per-Preset controls to the Global controls and vice-versa.

* Added "Clear Per-Preset" and "Clear Global" buttons to the Perform view which clear all the controls from the Per-Preset or Global section.

* Added a "Global Settings" section to the Preferences which displays the OS-specific directory where the settings files are stored.

* Modifications to allow the window to be dragged to any direction for external monitor use.

* Added "Show Folder" menu item to the Perform View's Per-Preset Performance Controls menu.

* Added "Copy to End" to the Copy submenu of the Scenes dropdown menu. This will copy the current scene to all of the scenes that follow. For example, selecting "Copy to End" from Scene 3 will copy Scene 3 to Scenes 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8.

* Modified Manage Cabs and Manage Presets to retain the currently assigned color when renaming items.

* Renamed "Block Library" to "Library".

* Added "Refresh Library" command to the Library dropdown menu, top-level Block menu, grid context menu, and Perform View dropdown menu.

* Extended the Library to include a Channel Library.

o The Library dialog displays the preset name as the default block name.

o The "Library: Save" and "Library: Save As" dialog provide the option of saving as an "entire block" or as the "current channel".

o "Save entire block" will save a library entry as an entire block of all of its channels and modifiers. This is the "old" or "legacy" method. The icon of a quartered square with 4 colored sections denotes an entry saved as an entire block (all channels). Loading a block entry will overwrite all channels in the selected block.

o "Save only current channel" will save a library entry containing only the currently selected channel. No modifiers will be saved. The icon of a quartered square with 1 central overlapping colored section denotes an entry saved as a single channel. Loading a channel entry will overwrite only the currently selected channel. Loading a channel entry into an empty grid space will insert a new block and load the entry into CHANNEL A.
This is just amazing. Editor keeps getting better and better, hard to keep up! I have to re-train myself from old habits with all these new features, thanks FAS!

Tested 1.09 on MacBook Pro. Still not working. Cannot drag Axe Edit UPWARD over menu bar on laptop to Ultrafine 5K 27" TB3 monitor, properly oriented ABOVE the onboard laptop display. No change from prior version of Edit. Emailed Support on this again. Other apps like Logic, or Office apps can be dragged this way properly.

FYI for anyone else having this issue, it is fixed, but you need to continue to motion to move Edit up even though it seems blocked, then it snaps up quickly. Kind of weird, but now functional so I'm happy.

Can I please know if I have to backup any folders related to axe edit such as the blocks folder before upgrading the version?
It's always good to back up your computer files. But Installing Axe-Edit won't change what's in your library folders.
