Axe-Fx III Firmware 24.03 Release

This ↑. If you're concerned due to an upcoming gig, you shouldn't be changing anything anyway. That's just asking for trouble. No amount of beta testing will find every bug in every preset, so the only way to make sure everything still works the way you need is to test it for yourself.

Tru dat. It’s software ladies and gents. More art than science.

So fw24.03 on the web page should be stable even if it's not on fractal-bot. sorry its maybe a stupid question

The link on this page for FW:
https://www.fractalaudio.com/axe-fx-iii-downloads/
Is always going to be considered a stable release.

The Betas are just that, experimental changes that are likely to not be 100% stable.

Official FW releases here on the forum are not considered final/stable but are no longer Betas.

The release listed at https://www.fractalaudio.com/axe-fx-iii-downloads/ will always be a stable release where all known bugs have been worked out. FW 24.03 SHOULD be showing up in your Fractal Bot. If it is not, ensure you have the latest Fractal Bot and Axe Edit. If that still does not work there are workarounds to install, but the way it is programmed it should be telling you if a new FW release is available (although it does not recognize the Beta's as new releases and will not warn you from what I understand).

So we actually have three official levels of release now? Beta, production and stable?

I'm not trying to be a pain, just figuring out how it works. I wasn't aware of the difference between production and stable, thought production WAS stable.

And they have been, for me, in general.

We need to understand that when developing anything, there are going to be delays before one can truly declare something "stable". In order for that to happen, the FW (including FW's that have graduated from beta) must be in circulation to reach such a conclusion. Therefore, when a FW is released and is NOT a Beta, it will not be instantly put on the downloads page of the FAS website as that slot has been reserved for something that has reached all above criteria. It will be put on that page once it has spent some time in the field to ensure that all bugs have been found and addressed. On the forum, we are LUCKY to be able to enjoy the incremental updates, even prior to them meeting all criteria to be considered stable.

If you choose to use the FW's from here on the forum pages as opposed to the FW appearing at https://www.fractalaudio.com/axe-fx-iii-downloads/, you are doing so at your own risk. If you have any concerns, use ONLY the FW that is listed on the official stable release page. Otherwise, be prepared to be both a guinea pig and a leech ;~))

My guess is that he modeled something other than Alex's Lerxst Omega.

Maybe the Lerxst strays more than a little from a stock Jubilee, in Leon's sample above the pre-24.02 sounds very different.

To do the Jubilee justice Fractal would have to model with and without the Pull Rhythm Clip switch in both channels.
And the separate "Lead Master" volume which I think affects the clipping character going into the Loop driver stage.

This can be a little confusing but when you Pull Rhythm Clip it adds R9 in parallel with R8+R10 and lowers the volume by forming a lower voltage divider with R11 going into V2A, also, adding R9 lowers the effective Grid Leak value of V2A.
Pull Rhythm Clip and Lead Master most definitely affects the Lead channel clipping characteristics, we need both of these controls to get the most out of the Jubilee preamp.

Ground in blue.

Whoever worked on that schematic back in '87, 💩 to you, it's confusing AF.

If it's released on the forum as a Release version, it's assumed to be stable.

The website (and hence Axe-Edit) sometimes lags behind the forum.

It wasn't updated (as noted by Cliff earlier) because that's handled by Matt.

There are Release, Public Beta and Private Beta firmware versions.
