Fractal Audio Firmware Update Thread

One of the things I love about my FM9 and loved about my Helix is the 6 bottom row footswitches
Barley use the top 6, Fred Astaire I'm not

I have a couple voodoo lab midi switchers already, I wonder if those would work fine with the Axe? I'm guessing they should.

I would definitely work with those before putting down the cash for a FC12 or FC6! And if they don't work out, you can still get the FC!! They will be a little more involved to do some of your functions on the axe than an FC would take, but you will also have more options with them open as well ;~))

They absolutely should. I used a Ground Control Pro with my Kemper before they had their own foot controller, and it worked perfectly with the Kemper. But it was a pain to program.

Good to know. I've only used them in the context of a pedal board, nothing too crazy with outboard racks or anything. Not that I would need to dive too deep into programming for switching, but it's nice to know what's possible.

It’s been years, but IIRC I used PCs for rig/preset changes and CCs for individual effect toggling. I don’t know how the MIDI implementation works with Fractal gear, but it should be able to work with at least those basic functions.

Cool, now I just need a Fractal.

Kemper midi programming is dead simple. Using a midi controller with a FAS device is not the way I'd spend time with it. IYKYK

I need to stop talking about it... I don't want to end up like someone that just talks and doesn't buy.

I'm not even sure I would get the FC12 to go along?

Same here. It would just be a studio only device for me. And the GUI ain't that bad. Axe-Edit is outstanding.

FC12 is just one more thing to trip over here at home.

I was wondering that and went around in circles, but then I looked at the holiday season bundle with FC-12 and said "screw it!".

So you got one coming?

I've had the AF3 for over a week already. LOVE IT.

My FM9T sold yesterday and is on its way to a new owner. The balance has been restored.

I did feel a little sad putting the FM9 into the box. It's a super cool thing.

How quick did the Axe ship to you?

How quick did the Axe ship to you?

2 days to Ottawa across the border from NH with automatic customs clearance. FAS process the orders fast too.

He's right you know Desktop editor is the shiznit.

I've been watching this for 6 minutes already.



She's never gonna get there is she !?

Well we alls know one thing no matter our gear we love it all, what we have, what we don't have, what we would like to have, what we regret selling

Folks this is "THE GEAR FORUM"

I agree. I believe that I read a comment on the FAS forum from Cliff stating that the complex interactions between the a fuzz pedal and a guitar are not possible to get completely right currently due to hardware limitations. Simply changing the input impedance to another fixed value on the axe-fx is a low level approximation.

My memory may be wrong in that, so perhaps Cliff will comment on the subject.
