Axe-Fx Firmware Version 21.00 Public Beta (Beta 1)

[Hellbat]

Are you planning on doing a FAS Studio 20?

• Improved cathode follower algorithm. Provides more accurate “cleanup” when volume is rolled off.

This would be game changer, an amazing improvement.

We are now at 1% on 1% on 1% on 1% accuracy improvements that probably only Cliff and a few golden ears can discern (e.g. mud).

It's still exciting, even though I might not hear anything without real-time A/B-ing. Even then, I'm not sure if I can trust my ears, brain, or the power of suggestion.

 

[FractalAudio]

Thank you!


To clarify, is this still the "WAY off" version?

No. This is the proper model now.

 

[Syrinx]

No. This is the proper model now.

Will the other be returning as a FAS 20?

I hear and feel good things, while playing and listening to recorded, both with electric and bass. Thanks!

@FractalAudio you're my favorite Mr. Nugget Head in the world.

I'm still in the first year or so of having an Axe, and I am overwhelmed by the frequency of updates.

Overwhelmed in the absolute best sense of the word, to be clear.

Thanks team!

Um, holy crap, my template preset's low end is SUPER tight now. Wow. I use FAS Class-A & Chiefman 1. Flipping awesome sounding. Wow.

EDIT: SUPER tight without any sacrifice of low end. Could be the drives too. Dunno. Sounds amazing.

Anyone else get warm and fuzzy feelings every time a major firmware release comes out? Each one feels like Christmas and my birthday at the same time.

 

[guitarcal]

Everything in this update is good, thank you!

 

[mistermikev]

wow, cygnus 2.0? I am at a loss for words... but WTF??????? seems appropriate! We truly don't deserve you!

 

[FlavAnderson]

Unbelievable!!!! Thank you!!!!

 

[JWDubois]

Wow, I'm all for more clarity in the low end. I'm tempted to break my rule about waiting for the release to load FW.

Yes, things should be tighter now without any loss of fullness. No need for low cuts or anything IMO.

People, we have entered the close vicinity of 21.12 don’t get scared.

Giving you a firm handshake is now on my bucket list.

So... the new algorithm simply makes the low cut by itself in the Amp Model? Or keeps it real with some ancient chinese sauces?

It's a Cliff-orithm, different thing altogether

Haven't used my III since my FM9 turned up
Sounds like a reason to fire it up!

Thanks Fractal for being the mutts nuts

I'm guessing 20.05 version is history and not making it to production. Is that correct?
