Axe-Fx III Firmware Release Version 12.08 Public Beta 4

[jefferski]

Just to give you an idea about this

Nice! Kind of like Ring Mod, but unique...

In regards to the whammy pitch shifter - I notice that when playing a high note - say g on the 15th fret - and applying some subtle vibrato, as the note decays the shifted note wobbles around a bit. I double checked my guitar tuning and my strings are in good condition so those are not contributing factors in this case. Seems like the pitch detector is hearing more pitch movement than I am applying to the note. But otherwise - WOW! Great improvements overall. The reverse compressor with a noise gate to follow it is sustain heaven!

Noticed the same, more wobbly artifact sort of noises.

Allright! Is the Chorus redesigned, or is that still in the works?

Still in the works. Wasn't noted in the beta.

This IS a beta... I assume you mean the thread for the previous one?

Edit: sorry, I thought you said "was", not "wasn't". Nevermind

Nothing in the posted release notes that I saw.

Yup, similar to the ring mod but smoother

That's a cool effect. Can you share the patch? I would love to experiment with it.

Sure, here you go (I used scene 2).
Part of that effect is obtained thanks to some extreme settings of the reverb block, be careful cuz it's pretty easy to make it overwhelming if you play too hard/fast

Really? I like to think most people here have evolved past being 13 years old...

Some people here are 13 years old.

Weird behaviour from the Comp Block: sometimes I can't select a model, and when I can, another than I selected shows up

Is this in Axe-Edit? Did you do settings > refresh after FW update?

Front panel or Axe-Edit?

Remember that Axe-Edit has not been updated... Although you could try "Refresh after firmware"

Maybe I b confussed. Isn't the most updated release note for this particular beta version 4 in the release notes for beta 4 as Jan Geerts alluded to?

Yes...

However I just realized I misread the post I replied to. Will edit my reply

The Studio FB Compressor 1 might be my new favorite.

OMG, that's crazy good! Turn up emphasis and it's instant Knopfler/Gilmour

 

[Jan Geerts]

Yes and no. I'll try tomorrow

I upgraded to this release and lost by USB audio. I can still talk to the Axe with MidiBot and Axe Edit but cannot play audio (iTunes) trhough the monitors anymore. I downgraded back to 12.07 and everything is fine. Am I missing something?

MAN Oh Man I love the Compressors!!! Damn their good! Thank U

 

[normanaj]

First! Oh wait...
Had a feeling this was coming today. Thanks Cliff and team!

 

[deakle]

Thanks for another Firmware Friday!

 

[RatBastard]

Thanks for the updates!!! Just a suggestion: In the pitch block can we get a negative octave + dry signal ala digitech drop pedal? You know what else would be cool? Tuning up an octave + dry signal...could this be achieved through the mix knob? Thanks again

I would think that's exactly what a 50% Mix would do.

For the lower octave try the Octave Divider and turn off the -2 Octave.
