A block that can store pre-recorded WAV samples (one per channel) that‘s triggered via MIDI.

Possible uses:

• Church Bell (For Whom the Bell Tolls, Hallowed Be Thy Name, Hells Bells, etc.)
• Sonar (Floyd Echoes)
• Clocks (Floyd Time)
• Money (Floyd)
• Alarm (Future Breed Machine)
• Car Ignition (non-electric)
• Explosion
• Birds
• Whales
• Baba Booey
• Farts
• And so on…

We sort of have that now in the Looper. Just don’t unplug before you go to the gig.

Maybe a 'store' feature in the looper?

If you add, "Samples of a Japanese vocalist singing syllables in persona as a cartoon character," and allow samples to be triggered by pitch tracking or dynamics, you basically created a Miku pedal.

I know at least two bands using an Axe-FX III + laptop to get there samples running. With a lot of Midi-USB cables, DI boxes etc.
So from the perspective to not have more devices than necessary on a stage, this would be a cool block for sure.

For the FM3 this would be cool if it incorporates the USB-A port.

The units do not have any memory allocated for storing audio so don’t think it can be done short of new hardware

The product lacks sufficient non-volatile memory to implement this.

This may not be feasible, but could IR storage be used for this (like a block of ten), after all its WAV files.

Yeah WAV is not known for it's small footprint

mp3 then?

I think even if you wiped out a bunch of IR’s you’d still only have a very short sample time, and then people would complain about why you only get 5 seconds when other products have 30 minutes etc etc, not to mention how little use it would provide

was thinking FLAC

"The product?"

So, that'd be the Axe III.

But does the Axe IV lack sufficient non-volatile memory? Inquiring minds want to know...

(I kid, I kid. Mostly.)
