Axe-Fx III Firmware Release Version 17.00 Public Beta 2

[ElectricPhase]

So I came up with a solution for Mark I owners: the Scratchpad bank supports both standard and FullRes IRs. Obviously you'll lose your IR when you power off.

Thank you. That's perfect!

What about fm3 owners? No chanche to load at least one full res?

FM3 has a scratchpad too!

But not much CPU to spare.

Excellent solution IMO. Are we able to use the scratchpad for FullRes on 17 beta 2, right now?

Edit: No we are not! haha

Well it could depends on the use.. I use at 70% with my main preset so myabe i could try.. Or could decide to sacrifice something else..

So this is probably a really dumb question. Can we mark I users load Fullres is the IR block or scratchpad to play around with them or can't do that either? I know we can't save them but no word as to whether or not we can use them at all.

Seems this wasn't a dumb question after all.

Great news.
But…I really hope converting bank-B is still considered as an option with so many votes for this. Best solution would of course be a possibility for users to freely split the memory available according to their needs

This will not be an option. We tried it and it's just a nightmare to manage. If you must have FullRes in a User bank then buy a Mark II.

Nice step forward, but if this lives up to the hype, I really hope we can attach some weight to that poll regarding losing User Bank 2, please.

And there ya have it. Looking forward to testing out these Fullres and see which direction I go from there.

the problem I don't think is the storage , you could probably store them on a comp , the problem is the CPU it takes to use them is like 25% some said with a few mixed

If on AXE-III it needs 12% CPU, on FM3 would be like 24% or more.

 

[Satch4u3]

Like to also add... The pitch block is really great. I hope we can get this kind of performance of the pitch block in the FM3 if possible.

Will there be any factory ones perhaps?

Ok but a fender twin with full res could need only one delay or a chorus..

I'd love to have Full Res IR working on FM3, as I don't have an AXE, but an improved Pitch Block would be more useful.

Maybe Fractal can work their magic( again!) and give us both.

FAS has spoken. I, for one, was hoping for the User 2 bank to be converted for FullRes IRs. Not going to happen but they did figure out how to give Mk 1 users a solution to try the new feature. While the response was overwhelmingly in favor of losing the User 2 bank, it wasn't promised to be added to the Mk I. With the man himself saying continued support for FullRes on the Mk I would be "a nightmare to manage", it should be good enough reason for Mk I users to move along and, if implemented, use the Scratchpad to determine whether it's enough of a game changer to move to the Mk II.

When the Mk II was launched, it was clearly stated that one of the features was more memory and that it could be used for IR storage:

• Increased non-volatile user data memory for future upgrades (i.e. more IR storage).

Those who have been around long enough know that if Cliff says he has tried to make something work, he has put in the time to make sure it either will or won't. Those who haven't been around, just trust that he's done everything possible to make it work. Let's all move on and appreciate the hard work and dedication of a man and company that doesn't settle for "good enough".

Any possibility of at least getting a FullRes scratchpad slot or two on the MK1?

Thank you for trying.
