Yep, still can't get mine to workAre there any problems with running Axe Edit on Silicon macs ?
Ouch. I can read between the lines. Not expecting firmware updates or anything, and it will always sound great. I have for many years loved fractal's commitment to support, but this means a significant chunk of the unit will actually stop working for me when I'm forced to replace my geriatric Mac with Apple silicon. I can see the argument, that's Apple's fault, not Fractal's, but it makes me question my decision to ditch the amps and pedals: they never become obsolete. Yes, to make it a fair comparison, I'd need to factor in an interface for recording (the other use of USB for editing wouldn't be needed), but these could be replaced if obsolete for a tiny fraction of the cost. I could never stretch to a III. Besides, it would only be a matter of time until I was back in this position with that unit. I'm starting to see the pitfalls of the route I've taken, which is sad, having been an evangelist for this new paradigm, and the company itself, since the Ultra.This is not something that we're working on at this time.
What’s truly sad is not having one friend with a Windows machine you could plug your axe into every 3 months to update firmware. It's a lonely world.Ouch. I can read between the lines.

Using a Windows machine to do firmware updates won't help, especially since it's been almost two years since the last firmware update and, in all likelihood, there won't be any more. In any case, no firmware update will ever make usb work on an M1. It's the driver that needs to be updated.What’s truly sad is not having one friend with a Windows machine you could plug your axe into every 3 months to update firmware. It's a lonely world.
On the positive note (C# maybe) I have been running Axe Edit on my brand new Mac Mini M1 for over a month now with no worries, Firmware updates and all!
Always the optimist this kid...
EDIT: UPDATE!!!!Install fxload tool via Homebrew
- execute "brew tap kolontsov/fxload" in a terminal window
- execute "brew install fxload" in a terminal window

Didn't the Manhattan Project run into a similar problem when people weren't sure that their actions would burn off the Earth's atmosphere?
We'll be SO pissed if y'all do that.
Hi M@,This is not something that we're working on at this time.
This thread was a total red herring.
I installed the 2019-released driver for Axe-Fx II last night on a family member’s new M1 MacBook Air and it works perfectly…as does the most recent Axe-Edit.
So, that’s that.

This is good to hear, I was planning on upgrading my aging desktop rig and consolidating to a MacBook Pro or Air when the new ones come out, but I had reservations about compatibility with my II. A main use of the laptop would be to interface with it and record with it, so it not being supported would be a huge blow. However, if everything works fine then I am very happy!ha ha ha you are absolutely right!!!
I just tried it on my 2021M1 iMac, Axe Edit 3.14.6 (Latest as of this post) works as normal.
I fired up latest version of Logic as a native Apple Silicon app and the Axe-FX II is visible to Logic, had a quick play and it seems to work fine for playing audio, don't have a guitar on hand to check,
This is great news!!! Thanks
