Axe-Fx III Firmware Release Notes​


27.01

Added “Touch Wah” type to Filter block. This is similar to the Envelope Filter but uses a different type of detector and voltage-to-frequency converter. This type can be used to create interesting touch-sensitive filter sounds. It can also be used to replicate the Korg A3 Touch Wah sound as follows:

  • Set Mode to MIX
  • Set Start Freq to maximum. Set Stop Frequency to minimum.
  • Start with a fairly high Attack Time, around 500ms.
  • Set Release Time to around 200ms.
  • Adjust Sensitivity to taste.
Improved Auto-Swell type in Volume block. Added Release time and Hysteresis controls to allow fine-tuning to playing style. Hysteresis controls how much extra the signal must fall below the threshold before the detector releases.

Changed the Envelope Follower in the Megatap, Multitap and Plex blocks to use the same algorithm as the improved Auto-Swell algorithm in the Volume block as the purpose of the Envelope Follower is to generate volume swells.

Added MIDI Clock transmit. This can be configured to send MIDI clock messages to MIDI, USB or both (or off). Default is MIDI only. NOTE: USB Firmware 1.17 or greater is required to send MIDI Clock over USB. If you require MIDI Clock to a USB host then you need to install USB Firmware version 1.17 or greater.

Added selectable MIDI Clock receive source. This can be configured to receive MIDI clock messages from MIDI or USB (or off). Default is MIDI.

Added activity sensing to internal pedals, FC pedals and external controllers. This stops Auto-Engage from engaging an effect if the pedal/controller is not connected. This prevents, for example, a Wah being engaged if Auto-Engage is on but no pedal is connected (i.e., you left your expression pedal at home).

Added selectable Tuner color theme.

Fixed LFO Phase not working for Vibe modes in Phaser block.

Reduced boot time.

Various other fixes and improvements.
 
Maybe I missed something, but where can I get USB FW 1.17? Site downloads page and this forum only contains 1.15
 
It is in the Firmware folder
It's not. It was in the beta versions, but appears missing from the full release. At least the one linked in the first post in this thread (at time of writing).

I downloaded and installed the firmware from that link about 30 minutes ago. And I just downloaded it again just to double check right before responding. There is no USB firmware in the package.

I assumed a new post would be coming with it, just like the 1.15 version is stickied.
