Axe-Fx III Firmware 25.00 Public Beta #2 (Cygnus X-3 Release Candidate)

[Tommy Tempest]

I think this is how the firmware knows to not display presets "from the future", such as loading a preset touched by a newer firmware into a unit running older firmware.

If it didn't do that it could present cray-cray parameter values, make weird noises, or burn off the earth's atmosphere.

But I thought all Fractal hardware and presets are from the future

But those are not the only items in the release notes any of the previous items could have been changed again, which is fine but you cannot tell that by doing a comparison.

I guess that would have been mentioned in the release notes if it was the case. Anyway, does it really matter? Everything will be updated anyway as soon as you load this beta.
If it matters for you, write down the values of those parameters, record some samples and do a direct comparison by yourself.

Yes, or open your backup presets with fractool offline and get the values you want back... Just my assh*le 2cents

On a 14 day cruise on the atlantic...still not over. But I'm happy I don't have to crawl through >1k of posts anymore only to read about how to reset something. Just joking.
Thank you.

Writing down values does not tell you if there were modeling changes between Betas.

Writing down values does not tell you if there were modeling changes between Betas.

Using them to set all parameters to the same values and doing an A/B comparison between the two betas does.

Name an example of what you really mean? It can be a little confusing...
Obviously, I think Cliff does not have to report super small changes that no one hears anyway and may be under various. Others would obviously be mentioned -- why not?

Your not really being helpful. You can A/B them all if you want that is idiotic.

 

[Chromatizm]

Like comparing values will get you somewhere
C'mon boys, we got all our amps serviced, new tubes and shit - just enjoy, why install old tubes back and try to hear the difference

I didn't write a line of that code but already exhausted from reading same old "hmmm, but is it really got any better" - imagine what it is to people who wrote that code
Yes it sounds better now, you know it does - please just play

 

[DLC86]

What kind of help are you seeking? A/Bing them is the only way to find it out yourself, if you don't trust release notes and the fact that Cliff would have reported any major changes in those. If you think that's idiotic wait for his answer or find a third way, good luck.

Thanks Cliff and team, loading this up to try out some of the new things later this evening

Running it as we speak….so far so GOOD!

 

[GuitarGuy316]

That is correct.

Do you need to hit “save” the first time you open an old preset or will the override always bring the new defaults, thus no need to hit save on old presets?

 

[AminorZmajor]

Sounds amazing. Going to some presets I never jelled with before has been a bit eye opening. Great stuff.

Testing Beta 3 for 3 hours and without any problems for now. Everything sounds just as good as with Beta 2 after resetting amps and retuning. At the moment I tried Band Commander, Jazz 120, OSD 100 Clean, Two Stone J35, Archean Clean, Shiver Clean, Class-A 30WTB and FAS Modern. Thanks Cliff for continuing to improve this dream machine!

 

[toneseeker911]

That is correct.

The preset isn't auto-saved. The parameters are updated when the preset is recalled. You can adjust the parameters if you wish.

Writing down values does not tell you if there were modeling changes between Betas.

If there were further changes they would have been mentioned in the notes.

 

[Sleestak]

I'm sure people will still find things to argue and complain about.

I wish to file a recursive complaint about this post complaining about our complaining.

Thanx Cliff, all good here!!! Awesome Update!
