It hasn't been put up yet......you'll have to use the front panel till then.

Wishing your wife a speedy COVID recovery.

thank you

Gapless. Interesting. I've gotten so used to working around this limitation by using scenes, both amp blocks and multiple delay blocks that I'm almost like "ho-hum." But, maybe this is a good opportunity to try simplifying my presets...and exploring new ways of doing things.

Wow! I don't know what it is but it feels more alive under my fingers. Nice job!

Axe-Fx III Firmware Release Notes​

23.00

Improved Amp block triode algorithm.

Updated all JS410 Lead models based on a current production JVM410HJS.

Added JS410 Lead Green amp model.

Added Pitch High Cut parameter to Reverb block. This can be used to darken/brighten the pitch-shifted component of the reverb.

Added Smoothing parameter to Cabinet block in Dyna-Cab mode.

Preset, Scene and Channel changes are now gapless.

NOTE: Seamless switching is currently not implemented on the USB and SPDIF/AES outputs due to a "programming oversight"

I've been super curious for a while:

I assume seamless switching has always been desired, so I imagine there were some pretty big technical hurdles to overcome with regard to this feature. What kinds of issues were preventing this from happening? Threading, DSP overhead?

Just curious because I'm a dev by profession, and love your work -- not meant antagonistically at all.

That new Marshall version is very nice! Never could use the old one with much success but now I sure can! Thank you for this awesomeness and that gapless rules!!!

 

[Chromatizm]

Yes, they measure quite differently.

Is it possible to keep both, renaming Joe's version into something like "Personal Joesus"? Some of us never heard the factory version, so couldn't care less, cause to get Joe's tones you probably better off with his own amp!

-----Added Smoothing parameter to Cabinet block in Dyna-Cab mode.-----

Hell. Yes.

Other people might not think this has as much flash as a new amp model but this is easily my favorite aspect of the update.

Smoothing is the secret sauce that removes the notchy qualities of IRs. It makes every single one of them sound better to me.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Amazing thank you!

I believe a new version of AXE Edit for this new Beta version is not needed to implement the changes

 

[ruso]

Gapless switching wasn’t even really important to me, but…

 

[Greg Ferguson]

Would love to know anything more about the triode algorithm improvement that falls outside the ancient Chinese secret....

So… you added starch?

Make sure you do firmware refresh - I havent proven it out as I am at work

 

[Jop vS]

Amazing.

Yup your correct its not there bummer - not a fan of the front panel Ill wait

 

[Greg Ferguson]

Yes. People were complaining. Joe himself said the production amps don't sound like his amp but people complain and we address the complaints.

Maybe a FAS version of the amp using the previous model is in order?

 

[rickboot]

So is this release called Calgon?
