Axe-FX 3 -> FM9 ?

[FullThrottle64]

Will there be a way to port Axe FX 3 Presets to the FM9?

It would be FANTASTIC if I could keep my Axe FX 3 in a primary big-gig rack, then blow my Presets into the FM9 for smaller events and very tight pits.

I know it's probably asking too much, but.......?

Export Axe III Preset >>> Import Preset into FM9
As long as CPU limitations and block usage are compatible, you're golden.

I’m guessing that the presets are 100% compatible, just shy of III CPU

Will certainly be almost identical, likely depending on the grid setups.

Hmmmm.... This has me thinking. I generally am not a fan of floor-based devices, but if I can use the rack unit to develop everything and then just use the floor unit for performance......hmmmm.......

Pretty much this and block counts.

You can also share block libraries between the units.

Does the FM9 have 4 Cabs per channel like the AXE III, or 2 Cabs per channel like the FM3?

Grid size not an issue - same editor grid for FM9 and III.

There are some block limits on FM9 compared ot the III.

Good comparison chart is here: https://www.fractalaudio.com/family/

For example, four Drive blocks on the III, but just three allowed on the FM9, and just two on the FM3.

So if you use four drive blocks in an III preset and try to import that preset into the FM9, Drive4 will disappear in the FM9 version.

Two per channel

I really need to be able to run 2 reverbs, 4 delays, and 4 drives in each of my chains.

the Axe-Fx III can do that for you.

Oh. That’s been a pretty common serious statement from many

Great to see all the I/O available.

Is there any chance that future firmware updates for the FM9 would allow a more modular approach that would allow users to swap out Blocks they might not need? Or does the overall design not allow this?

For example, it would be great to sacrifice some Blocks to allow an Axe III style scenario of 2 x Pitch Blocks, Tone Match and IR Player which aren't currently available.
