At FracTool Batch Setter...
I've had good results with both before the amp block and between the amp & speaker blocks.It also works well before the AMP/CAB, depending on the result that you want. At some of my presets I am using it before the AMP/CAB.
I also have to experiment between the AMP and the CAB. I often insert a Tape Drive between these two blocks.
It might be! Try re-installing the firmware?That didn't work, it's still saying beta for some reason.
Resetting the amp is different than adjusting one setting if the Amp block was previously modified.So couldn't you use the 'Amp Resetter' instead of the 'Batch Resetter' in Fractool? I check boxed everything to remain unchanged except for the Spkr Drive. I tried it on one preset then did ranges. It basically changed the Spkr Drive to 2 and did it on both amps at the same time on multi amp presets.
In preset manager, I select multiple presets, right click and reset amp, it will leave my basic amp settings alone but reset all the “deep” parameters to firmware default, including speaker drive=2Resetting the amp is different than adjusting one setting if the Amp block was previously modified. Fractal-Bot has a batch-setting capability that can be used to adjust the speaker setting.
Yes, that allows resetting amp blocks in a batch, but that’s not the batch-setting capability I’m talking about. See Parameter Batch Set.In preset manager, I select multiple presets, right click and reset amp, it will leave my basic amp settings alone but reset all the “deep” parameters to firmware default, including speaker drive=2
What are the new issues?That workaround doesn't work quite as well now with dsp firmware version 20. The situation has definitely improved, but there are new problems to contend with now. I think things are in flux at the moment and we're at an awkward intermediate stage on the way to a good solution to the problem. Hopefully that will be soon and there won't be any need to update the workaround instructions, except to delete them.
The Speaker Breakup parameter seems to be tied to the Cab Resonance; it is on even at Speaker Drive at 0.00 I would describe it as the attack of the speaker breakup; Soft is muted, Medium is normal and Hard is tight. I like Hard for modern metal tones, Medium for rock, etc. and Soft for blues or jazz tones.Yeah, I was wondering about that; that makes sense. I guess one could run a test by keeping Speaker Compression at zero, then have Speaker Drive at zero and see if Speaker Breakup has an audible effect (my guess is no), then turn up Speaker Drive to a pretty high setting, then try all three Speaker Breakup settings to see if that's in fact what they do; regardless, it's damn awesome to have yet another speaker parameter!

Cab Resonance is really nice to keep some frequencies in check, when lowering the value without using amp eqThanks so much for investigating! I often forget about the Cab Resonance parameter, so I'm really glad you brought that up. I'm still catching up on work, hoping to play soon; this is killing me!
Cliff doesn't want that discussed in this thread and he deleted my last post, so I'll reply in another thread.What are the new issues?
I'm just seeing the same: https://forum.fractalaudio.com/threads/usb-audio-latency-decreases-after-a-few-minutes.176582/
IMO no don't reset the amp blocks. Their settings are there because the preset makers liked them that way. You might want to use the batch setter tool in AxeEdit to set Speaker Drive to 2 for all presets, that's the default value now.Looking for some advice:
I'm currently on firmware 19.01 & presets are just factory presets from 16.04 with minor tweeks (been working too much this last year!!).
So I want to start from scratch with the 19.04 factory presets. So would best way to go about it be, in order:
- Install 19.04 factory presets
- install Firmware 20.0
- Reset All Amp Blocks
Cheers.
