The Tool
Click here to to learn more about Axe for Lemur 3.xx (PDF file)
There's a free touchscreen editor for the Axe-Fx that completely rocks for dialing presets. It's faster than pushing a mouse around, requires very little navigation, runs on an iPad app called Lemur, and some of us are looking to revive this tool because the developer skipped town.
You don't need a Mac to use it. You send this Axe-Fx editor to an iPad with a free Windows/Mac app. All you need is an iPad and Lemur ($25) the app that runs this Axe-Fx editor template. Lemur isn't free, but it's worth it. Those who've experienced it can testify.
Problem is, we have no clue how many iPad users are here, and ongoing development makes little sense if few benefit. We're also clueless on number of Android tablet users. Liine (maker of Lemur) would be smart to add an Android version of Lemur.
We can expand the editor to latest Axe-Fx firmware, add hundreds of instant-audition cab buttons (it currently has 100 Factory, 100 User) and continue development. But we need people to speak up (and vote): iPad users, other tablet OS users and those interested in iPads.
Post your thoughts, opinions, support, etc, and help us bring this excellent tool back.
Work needed
The editor works great today on FW14 (minus newer features), but only with older Lemur software. It needs to be updated to work on Lemur V5.x, and expanded to add the latest Axe-Fx FW goodies. This work represents only about the last 5%. The other 95% has already been done by the previous developer check it out Click here to to learn more about Axe for Lemur 3.xx (PDF file)
Why it's worth it
I believe in this tool for a variety of reasons:
- Dialing time vs. Playing time is one of the biggest complaints of Axe-Fx users.
- The dialing time required to get a favorite tone back after a FW upgrade is another big one
- More presets = more dialing time
- When firmware hits, I can re-dial before the next "gig" quickly with this tool
- That said, recent FW has greatly reduced dialing time…kudos to Fractal!
- That said, 700+ Ultrarez cabs are coming online, cab audition time is now an issue
- And, swapping cabs often means re-tweaking the amp, which means…more time spent dialing!
- This editor and AE let you audition 100 cabs at a time very quickly: dump cabs into the axe-fx with AE, and then use this editor to instantly touch-audition cabs in a 100-button grid that stays open until you touch "OK." And when you switch back to AMP to tweak, this editor remembers where you were, and you have nearly 2X more AMP parameters literally at your finger tips -- faster, less navigation, less dialing time.

Probably would've been moved here regardless.
