Guys - without any disrespect, id like to suggest that you are perhaps missing that you haven't had your units for long, and already there has been a number of updates addressing numerous issues and wishes.
Maybe - just maybe - it'd be more appropriate to appreciate the amount of work that goes into manufacturing and supporting complex devices like the axe 8 - along with a number of other products, all with their own level of complexity, with a small team of workers.
I guess what I'm suggesting is that, rather than feeling entitled to wishes being granted, you imagine if you'd bought units from another manufacturer and had one update every two years.
Anyway - once again - no disrespect, it's just easy sometimes to think we deserve more than we do.
Have a great weekend,
Thanks Pauly
As i mentioned before: i am absolutely happy with the sound of my AX8! And no doubt Cliffs Team is doing a great job with firmware-Updates, etc.
But one thing is, that the usability is still lacking some major things which were mentioned in the forum.
I am not alone with this. There are many others among us, who also think like this.
Fractal Gear is great, no doubt about ist. But an AX8 is not only consisting of the Sounds and Soundquality.
One of the Major Things of such Units is the Human User Interface and the usability.
There is a rule of n design: Form follows function. If you take a look at moder cnc Machines and their HUIs, you will notice that such really complex Control Units made a big Evolution in intuitive usage.
I know what i am talking about, i sell CNC Machines for the worlds biggest machine tool manufacturer.
We were challenged to make our stuff better for quicker learning and intuitive using. When i lokk at the absolute excellent quality of the Fractal Gear i am very happy.
But see, its not only Hardware and sound. And on stage you are not using your PC to do the stuff.
It s lying on the floor in front of me. And when i need to change stuff its got to be fast done.
Cliff, if you read this: i love your Gear and so far i can see i will never buy anything else!
Your continous Firmwareupdates are the best Service i have ever seen in this business. I really appreciate it.
But is the plan to introduce some things of the wishes in future?
