Axe-Master
Thanks - Tried that also - no change - no biggy - just curious about how this is functioning.I usually use Manage Presets to copy an <EMPTY> over presets I want to delet, so I know it is empty....

The other day I compared boot times for Helix LT and FM3, both on latest firmware with the full compliment of factory presets and cabs plus some of my own.Was curious about the empty presets info above so I emptied (no blocks) all the stock presets in my AxeIII leaving only my own in slots 1-64. Thought I would see a big difference but my boot time only went from 21.3s to 21s. Maybe I'm missing something.
Edit: Maybe I need to "clear" these empty presets - trying that ...
Edit: Not much different after clearing (20.7s) - maybe it recognizes unaltered stock presets and skips those always - dunno
Certainly “not totally.” Although, I am reading this comment in the context of your first post, and those of many, many, others’ in response to the OP.Not totally as (from Fractal Post above), it seems also about # of "empty" presets though I've not been able to confirm by testing (maybe my empty presets are not totally empty? - maybe there is something left in there that causes them to be loaded).
Something I heard in the late 70’s when I worked as a IBM 360/70 systems programmer, and this may be apocryphal because google doesn't turn anything up, was that Soviet mainframes used for their space program booted in seconds. Which is amazing. But the near-instantaneous boot time was a solution to the the general deficiency of the hardware as a whole which apparently would just crash at will.Load time is generally a matter of priorities and hardware limitations.
My Helix Floor boots like twice as fast as my FM3. Helix on 3.1 firmware, FM3 on 4.00The other day I compared boot times for Helix LT and FM3, both on latest firmware with the full compliment of factory presets and cabs plus some of my own.
Helix LT :: FM3 was 17s :: 21s - both numbers rounded down. Even if it were
17s :: 22s it seems a rather insignificant difference. If it was an order of magnitude difference it might be worth discussing but as it stands, maybe not so much.
The boot times for the LT and the Stomp are about the same. In case you were wondering, the LT has been going out the door for ages but in pandemic time is still sitting here. The Stomp stays as a backup. It sits on a PT Nano with a MC6 and is battery powered. It’s cute.
Thread 'Clear preset isn't completely cleared'Not totally as (from Fractal Post above), it seems also about # of "empty" presets though I've not been able to confirm by testing (maybe my empty presets are not totally empty? - maybe there is something left in there that causes them to be loaded).
As for thread length, which seems an issue for some, valuable seconds can be saved by not reading past your comfort level.
Disagree, because people who don't want or don't care, won't vote (not all of them, but enough), which then skews the vote. That happens, and it has a term to describe it, but I can't remember what it is.In the forum, wishes and change requests could be separated from bug requests and be more formal. Wishes and changes should start with a simple “yea”, “nay” and “don’t care” poll,
Yes -" if it works we won't touch it". worked in systems for 30 years - at the end managed 150-200 apps for a largish org - we had to support everything from old ibm mainframe cobol type stuff to old dec/pdp to modern client/server/mobile apps running in virtual OSs - maybe I shouldSome companies will pay serious money for developers that know COBOL so they can continue to keep ancient legacy applications on life support. You'd be shocked at how outdated some of the systems large companies and government agencies rely on can actually be. Sure they have modern outward facing infrastructure and security but there's often still some dusty old machines running truly ancient code inside the DMZ.

Another good reason not to abuse posters of sincere questions.

My little girls box turtle caught and ate a worm the other day...it's alot slower than the Axefx3 boot time.squeaky wheel catches the worm - something like that
I’m not being snide here but have you actually timed them. Without feedback perception of elapsed time is not linear.My Helix Floor boots like twice as fast as my FM3. Helix on 3.1 firmware, FM3 on 4.00
slow but steady, and given a few worms along the way, and enough precious seconds, it can overtake the fastest Hare.My little girls box turtle caught and ate a worm the other day...it's alot slower than the Axefx3 boot time.

I now have no idea what we are talking about - my wife says I need to put the damn laptop down and cook dinner.
Depends on Altitude and barometric pressure.Haha! What's the boot time on bringing a frying pan, or pot of boiling water, up to temp?
Please report back.
PV=nRTDepends on Altitude and barometric pressure.
If there was 3000 people waiting for a boot up at a gig, it’d be a little painful!
Thanks
