Yek's Preset Collection (v9.02)

[yek]

If I then do the STRIP ALL GLOBAL DATA function, do the patches somehow revert to what your globals were set to?

^ This.

Release notes: "Running the function will strip the Global Block links but retain the sound of the preset as the author intended as that data is embedded in the preset."

A preset with globals points to global blocks but - also - still has the actual data (effect block settings), like a preset without globals.

 

[Rex]

Slick. Thanks for sorting that out for me.

This is totally brilliant Yek, especially as the patches download in the right order

 

[Hugomack]

Yek - Thanks for sharing all of this!

Just tried secondary clicking and saving the link to your v7 presets but didn't have any luck (I'm on a Mac). Can't seem to load the banks in Axe Manage, not sure if I'm overlooking something obvious.

The best way is to load into your Axe using a Mac midi librarian - in my case SysEx Librarian. This thread got hijacked with my problems when Axe Edit altered the patches. My advice is therefore not to use Axe Manage as AE does open up a patch if it gets selected - apart from being (as indicated above) VERY much easier.

Yep, Sysex Librarian works great.

I think there is a difference between Axe-Edit and Axe-Manage.
Axe-Edit: loading presets in the Axe-Edit window, the settings are interpreted/translated by AE. It's here where problems can occur.
Axe-Manage: this should just load/send presets directly from/to the hardware, without interfering with settings and values. Haven't tested this recently though.

Did some housekeeping in the thread and removed some of the troubleshooting posts. But don't hesitate to post if you're having problems with the presets. Trying to solve those is part of the process and helps discovering possible bugs.

Works fine sending presets direct with Axe Manage to hardware without interfering with settings. Checking them out right now. Thanks for sharing Yek!

Hugo,

Already have a Tuner IA on the MFC: IA5.

XS2 is also set to Tuner to have it operate as a (momentary) mute switch.

If it's On by default, it's probably set to the wrong polarity.

Ours not to reason why, but setting external switch 2 Off to 127 and On to 000 obtains switch muting (a great effect at high volume) with the Swell on Ext Switch 2 working as it should.

So sorted!!

A note those downloading the patches: Axe Manage can open up a patch in AE. Having had such trouble (aided by Yek) working out that AE had altered his patches even though I hadn't used AE to edit them, I don't recommend using even Axe Manage. You'll never know what it altered, but also, if you want to load all Yek's patches using the same layout (which is so logical as to be the best way to use them... which is obvious ) downloading them straight into the Axe using a midi librarian leaves you with Yek's Bank A exactly as it is on his Axe.

Using Axe Manage which rearranges the order of the patches into alphabetical, you have to place each one laboriously into the right slot referring to the screen shot of Yeks bank file in the OP.

Yek,

Would you mind just uploading your "Lonely Boy" preset?
Ever since I upgraded to v7.0 I find my whammy/detune for that song to sound a bit different. It seems as though the modifier might have changed
and I cant seem to get it right. I based mine around your original 6.01 patch which was really good!

Thanks in advance for any help.

Attached.
I unlinked the global blocks.
In the Pitch block Control is tied to External 1, which is the expr.pedal in my rig.

Thank you Sir! I will give it a go

**I just tried it, I ended up retrieving your pitch/whammy block and importing it into my preset. All is good again
Mine was just tracking weird since 7.0. I couldnt figure it out. Thanks again for the help. I have a gig this weekend
and had been trying to sort that one.

I noticed you have changed your "patented layout" Looks a bit simpler.

Again, I know I speak for many.....your contributions are very generous and your attention to detail is amazing!

So using MixIR, you can only have one mike with each IR, then mix the IR's?

I can see this level of adjustment leading to bringing back a Cab XY IA switch - as even using just the one speaker cab IR but different mics at different distances and positions could bring in some excellent differences/variations. I like using two-channel delays and modulation, which could be set up very easily using MixIR, then be on tap as another user cab...

Hmm - sorry to go off-topic, but another layer of possibility I think.

Red Wires are not single IRs. They are collections of the same cab miked with different mics, at different positions at different distances. So those mics are built into the single IRs (you NEED a mic to take the IR anyway, so every IR contains some mic signature), but you get thousands of IRs with each "cab"-collection and there are dozens of collections. You can mix a number of IRs with MixIR and as such get the sound of different mics in one single IR. You can even mix several cabs with several mics at several distances into one IR. Go crazy.

I've spent the afternoon playing with it Yek. A seamless load-up - unlike last time! (I used the midi librarian for everything - ideal). Then I fitted my own patches into your empty spaces. The MFC is totally Yek'ified.

Sounds great. The new vibe IA is another serious modulation effect. I'm using 002 as my main patch - as i suspect you probably do - and have ascribed it to the Global, so when I'm using one of the synthesiser or more specialised patches higher up the bank, I can get back to normal sounds quickly. Normal playing is fine in Bank 1, with everything you'd ever need to do anything within one dab, then if you need to modify the sound, there's a whole pedal board to chose from.

Thanks again Yek, it's really great.

How do you use your Reverse patch please Yek? X014...? Totally wet reverse has always defeated me...

Yeah that's tricky. I'm using it for the solo in RHCP's Give it away.

Thanks Yek - I shoudda read your MFC settings "completeness" post. It all now works and is seriously good.

Auditioning with a new drummer tomorrow - the band with the deaf Fender solid state guitarist didn't work out (they need a deaf singer who doesn't play guitar), so I'll be giving it a proper work-out. But really happy with the sounds - and the ease with which they're alterable and can be switched when playing new songs with new people. Zero stress!

Got some time to spare these days. I'll be recording some clips of my presets again. Haven't done that in a long time. Via USB straight nto Garageband.
