I am new to the Fractal community. I have owned the Fx III for about two weeks.
Based on recommendations and my home studio needs, I also have purchased several
prominent packages from Austin Buddy and Fremen. Together with factory presets,
these presets, scenes, cabs and settings for the Fx III, FC-12, external pedals,
and all their dependencies are a challenge to manage. I have dealt with similar
memory management issues before, so I took a few days and wrote a memory
management application using Excel as the database host and the stock VBA API
environment for the control code. So far so good. A lot of time saved. To
populate data, I wrote import functions for any publicly available source
I could find (E.g., Wiki, pdf files, spreadsheets, etc.). Better than expected.
What is lacking IMHO is an export function that I can use from Fractal-Bot to
dump the preset, scene, cabinet and global parameters and their values to a
standard ASCII text file in some known format that I can read and import
into my application, or alternatively the binary format of the syx files
that Fractal-Bot already downloads and saves from the Fx III unit, which
I can then read block-by-block and parse to extract the information I want
to save, manage and retain a record.
With respect to managing all that is available on the Fx III, the ability
to do this (for me) would save countless hours and effort, as I use my
application to plan and sort out how I want to setup the Fx III parameters
and resolve conflicts with preset, scene and cab locations before I commit
to manipulating memory data with Axe-Edit and Fractal-Bot.
Would it be possible for the Fractal Team to consider introducing such an
export feature or making publicly available the information necessary to
interface with your product to export this information. I'm a developer.
The Fx III is hands down one of the best control units I have ever
interfaced with...and, it's for creating tones...which are MASSIVE in
number. Very, very impressed with your features and quality.
Thank you for your consideration of this request.
