So What's New on the III? ...(Axe-Fx II vs III)

[nicolasrivera]

Valhallir.at is very honored to inform you, that a selection of 24 IRs from our impulse response collections will be included in the stock cab section of the AxeFX III. There are also some previously unreleased cab IRs in this selection.

WOW, congrats!!!

Can you state which ones?

Basically except they switch instantly and seamlessly.

I was curious if they were patch-assignable? That was a popular wish list item supported by Neil Diamond's guitar player, Larry Mitchell and more. Thanks!

Question / wish :

Will it be possible to gradually morph from one channel to another? Or are channels limited to hard switching (it's one, or the other, but no blending)?

You cannot blend between channels. You can, of course, use multiple of the same block and blend between those.

Yes.

Can we save a different tempo per scene? Please? lol

Yes because the Control block has four channels.

It was a monumental amount of work. The DSP board design was the most difficult hardware design we've ever done. It's a 10-layer board with all fine-pitch technology. Then migrating all the algorithms to a new processor architecture. The team did a phenomenal job.

Thermals should be way better now right? Semi-modern fab process node for the DSPs FTW

So can someone sum up what exactly is new in the effect section? Which new effect algos? Which improvements of the algos? Thanks in advance.

Is the Axe FX 3 still restricted to operating at 48k? Earlier Axe's 48k was just a naive choice that let to A LOT of PITA situations in recording, not knowing that 44k was the music studio session standard and 48k was the standard in video.

So, what's different regarding tone matching? The info. states:

"Tone Matching block is also improved, now with the impressive ability to clone the tone of an amp"

Are we talking about non-linear functions or strictly EQ matching?

This...see differences between current Axe-Fx and the new one? Changes in # of blocks per preset (like 4 gates, 4 GEQs, etc), number of channels per effects block going to 4 (versus 2 using X/Y) with no-gap changing, new blocks like RTA (Real Time Analyzer!) and Multiplexer that lets you route signals? The AXE III is tone sculpting nirvana!

it's awesome, great new specs and sound very powerfull.
Depending on the new CPU power and the 800x480 color screen, maybe it's not be too difficult to reach a more " sweet graphical" interface on knobs, switch, menus... just my 2 cents

Thanks for that scheme. But I am more interested if any improvements are made to the effect blocks/algos that are already in the Axe fx II? I mean quality wise not quantity.

 

[nicolasrivera]

Real Time Analyzer -- it's a live display of the frequency content in the signal.

Interesting, what will be its most beneficial use?

 

[Morphosis]

Interesting, what will be its most beneficial use?

monitor equalization / correction

 

[unFILTERed]

how about the cooling/fan/noise?

and can the footcontrollers send multiple midi messages per click/button if yes, how many?

 

[vangrieg]

Multiplexer

What does Multiplexer do?

 

[iaresee]

What does Multiplexer do?

Lets you pick between input rows.

I’m curious to know if the MFC 101 III will be compatible/useable with the AXE FX III ?
