Axe-Fx III Firmware 30.00 Public Beta #2

[RockYoWorld]

I always wished there were more bass guitar "stuff" in Fractal gear and boy does it look like this firmware delivers! Can't wait to try it out! Thanks for the effort, as always!

Congratulations to the best company on the planet.

The history of the guitar will be known as pre-Fractal and post-Fractal.

Please stay healthy Cliff, we need you so much.

Nice to see Bassists catered for finally, just need a convincing bass octaver like the original boss or Pearl pedals, so far, the existing ones dont sound quite right with Bass

 

[AJ Vargas]

FF BASS EDITION FTW!!!

Any Easter eggs found already?

No

Also confirming that a the Black Majik Dyna-Cab calls up 1X12 Deluxe Tweed impedance curve in AMP Block if set to Auto.
SV 8X10 calls up Resistive Load....not SV 8X10.
1X8 Princetone works properly.

RANF?

Yes. ARF should RANF.

I'll never get to say that again.

 

[Rock Chalk]

Yes. ARF should RANF.

I'll never get to say that again.

ARF said he RANFed twice. There, I said it.........

Axe-Fx III Firmware Release Notes​

30.00

NOTE: This firmware requires installation of Dyna-Cabs version 1.09 (included in the .zip file). Refer to the DynaCab Installation Guide for details. Be sure to install the firmware before installing the Dyna-Cabs.

Added Tracking Mode parameter to Synth and Ring Mod blocks. When set to “BASS” the pitch tracking range is shifted down one octave with the lowest detectable note being approximately F#0.

Increased upper range of pitch detectors to approximately F#6. This prevents loss of tracking if playing at the 24th fret on the high E string and bending up a whole step.

Added “PI Fuzz – Bass” model based on a Deluxe Bass Big Muff Pi.

Added “NoAmp Bass DI” based on a SansAmp BassDriver DI.

Added “NoAmp Bass Pre” based on a SansAmp BassDriver DI with the speaker emulation bypassed. This can be used into a Cabinet block or as a boost into an Amp block.

Added “Royal Bass DI” based on a Noble Bass Preamp DI. The model has been modified with more gain so that it can be overdriven. With the Drive knob at 5.00 the gain is the same as the actual preamp. Also, instead of a Low Cut switch, the model uses an adjustable Low Cut control.

Added “7 Band Pedal” Graphic EQ type based on a Boss GE-7.

Added “7 Band Bass Pedal” Graphic EQ type based on a Boss GE-7B.

Added “1x8 Princetone” Dyna-Cabs captured from a 5F2 Tweed Princeton w/ a very nice sounding 8” Jupiter speaker. Added corresponding Speaker Impedance Curve.

Added “1x12 Black Majik” Dyna-Cabs captured from a Supro Black Majik with a Jensen P12Q speaker. Added corresponding Speaker Impedance Curve.

Added “8x10 SV Bass” Dyna-Cabs captured from an Ampeg SVT. Added corresponding Speaker Impedance Curve. Thanks to Mike "Dr. Bonkers" Santasiero for the files from his DynaCab Pack, "Dr. Bonkers 8x10 SBB Bass". If you like this selection of mics, you can purchase the entire pack for Cab Lab at https://shop.fractalaudio.com

Improved accuracy of Sustain control vs. position in PI Fuzz models.

Fixed wrong resistor value in Blackglass 7K model. Remastered model as a result.

Fixed incorrect gain in Colortone Booster and Colortone OD models.

Fixed wrong capacitor value in all Blackface Vibrato models (Deluxe Verb, Double Verb, Super Verb, Vibroverb), Div/13 FT37 models and the Double Verb Silverface model. Change probably isn’t very noticeable.

Fixed wrong resistor value in Deluxe Verb Normal model. Remastered model as a result.

Fixed Modern Gate type can get stuck closed if input above threshold during boot.

Various other fixes and improvements.

Honestly, this is crazy. I am seriously excited about the bass additions. Thank you very much, Cliff, and all at FAS.

 

[AndrewJay]

I can confirm that I am also still having the same mapping issues with regards to the Auto Dyna-Cab Imp. I RANF multiple times and I am running the most current Axe Edit. And can confirm as well that the Div 13 SIC is also missing as well.

Anyhow, thank you very much to Cliff and team for all the hard work. I look forward to trying everything out further.

incredibly excited to see the noble DI and 8x10 SIC esp since i bought the pack for the latter several months back. thank you FAS!

 

[James Freeman]

Speedy recovery Cliff.

Cliff,

Too many back and neck surgeries here. Hope you continue to find (some) relief from the PT or anything else for that matter. Mad respect.

Cheers,
Lee

Thank you so much. I quickly installed it and did a quick test.

I recorded backing using the SuproMagic Black amp and the newly added Black Majik 1x12 Dynacab.

I also recorded lead guitar using the GE-7 GEQ, Colortone Booster, and Colortone OD, which I placed in series behind the input block and turned on and off.



I connected the geq7's 6.4K slider to a pitch follower, setting it to boost at low notes playing and attenuate high notes playing.

and Wow.

I'm so happy I can do such fun things with fractals.
I hope Cliff gets well soon.

*Here's a video with the sound mixed with the FR12 (I think it's very similar to what I hear when I actually play it).



here's another sample with another guitar(HH telespaul) :

So good to see some bass love!
I've been hoping for a Noble for a while

 

[Dramelot]

Kudos! Bass digs, fuzz tweaks. Fun EQ, Gilmore Princeton,,, TY Fractal The best

 

[Shahar]

Somewhat unrelated, but I’m hoping Sansamp PSA-1 would be added down the line. Great additions, love the new drives and cabs! Thanks Fractal, can’t believe we’re already on version 30. Unreal.
