Axe-Fx III Firmware Version 7.01

[iaresee]

At last nights gig, I noticed that the volume of my rotary block had dropped quite significantly. Has anybody else noticed this?

All good in the hood here with the rotary block.

I had to adjust mine. Yes

Wow updating is much faster. 1 min and 58 seconds!

Confirmed, 1 min 45s on an empty preset here

Ah, then I'm not alone. Are you by any chance running a mono setup with the stereo spread in the rotary block set to 0 %?

Unfortunately not. Stereo setup. Approx 80% stereo spread. But I did wonder whether the new L, R, L+R sum options were somehow uninitialised? And therefore receiving half the input signal? Pure speculation tho.

Is it just me or does this firmware sound like it's quite compressed?

I couldn't see anywhere in the release notes that any global compression had been added to affect sound, nor can I imagine any reason to do so.
BTW, you can't 'hear' the firmware.....maybe it's just earwax

How does firmware sound "compressed"? The firmware is just the operating system and the parameters that define the presets etc. You can't actually HEAR that, as far as I know. If the parameters have changed in some way, so that all presets have a compression block active, then yes, you'd be able to hear that. But apart from that, I'm not sure what you mean....?

Sorry, was just a bad joke about the new firmware compression for improving update speed. I knew I should've resisted posting it.

Aha - got me I think it was your deadpan delivery....

I figured it was a joke, but also had a pretty good idea of what a compressed firmware sounds like. Check out a POD bean.

Is there an FC6/12 co. Update? I am getting a strange silence gap between preset changes from my switch

Loving 7.01 and the flexibility of the III. I had what was supposed to be an impromptu instrumental jam session Saturday and came equipped with only my guitar, III and CLR NEOs. Everything was great, until somebody wanted to sing. We had a mic, but no PA, preamp or mixer. The power of Fractal saved the day in less than a minute or two. On the spot, I added a separate I/O signal path to my preset in Axe-Edit, ran the mic into the Input 2 in the III and ran Output 2 to one of my CLR NEOs. Everyone was impressed with the III and happy with the quality of sound - end of story.

So you have a gap in your silence?

Preset changes are not seamless.

Also, are you running Axe Edit at the same time?

 

[White Light of Death]

Yes

 

[unix-guy]

Yes

Don't...

My Axefx EDIT slowed down significantly after installing this update. It does not change patches right away and follow the unit like it used to. Any else experience this?

We are aware of the issue and looking into it.

So maybe my delay in FC6 change was just that???
