Regarding the new user interface. It has been the biggest beef I've had with Axe-Fx 1 and I'm not 100% sold on it on 2 either. I feel that something akin to a gamepad D-pad would've been better for the navigation (less hand movement required and durability shouldn't be a problem since gamepads take quite a lot of abuse). From what I can tell from the small pics, the button layout hasn't changed much, in other words it's still a bit confusing for all but regular Axe-Fx users. As for the A-D knobs, I understand having them away from the screen makes the display easier to read but it does require a bit back and forth to figure which knob does what.
In the user interface when you have one page open, are all the controls adjustable with the 4 knobs + value knob? In other words are there only 5 knobs per page or do you still have to go back and forth with the navigation buttons to get to the controls you need to adjust?
Does the unity gain feature mean that you no longer have to fiddle with level etc controls to keep the Axe-Fx from clipping? Is it a hardware feature or something that could be ported to the Standard and Ultra?
Which knob controls the headphone output? Is it tied to the output 1 knob for example, which would mean that you'd be twisting back and forth when you use headphones at night and say a Atomic FR during the day?
Also how's the driver support? Which Windows versions do you support? Are 64-bit versions of fully Vista/Win7 supported?
PS. Any chance of us Standard/Ultra users getting a 1024 sample version of some of the IRs chosen from RedWirez/Ownhammer packs? I can't be bothered to get them and go thru the gazillion mics/positions they offer so it would be kinda nice at least to get a list of which ones to pick.
