Preset scrolling: stops at wraparound point

• Firmware 3.00 adds a pause at the wraparound point. Continuing to increase or decrease the value results in the preset wrapping around after a brief period.

Loading user presets

• Beside the factory presets, you can load presets from others into your Axe-Fx. Presets have a .SYX file extension. Presets are available through the user forum for example.
• If you use a MIDI librarian such as Snoize SysEx Librarian (Mac) or MIDI-OX: make a MIDI connection between your computer and the Axe-Fx, load the .SYX file into the program and send it to the Axe-Fx. The Axe-Fx is always ready to receive presets in this way. If you upload a preset onto the Axe-Fx this way, the preset is not yet stored on the Axe-Fx. If you want to keep it on the Axe-Fx, select a preset slot and save it.
• If you use Axe-Edit:
  • Create the MIDI or USB connection.
  • Launch Axe-Edit and make sure the connection is okay (Settings > MIDI Settings).
  • There are a number of ways to load presets onto the Axe-Edit.
    • Use the Source button.
    • Use Recall > Import.
    • Click Axe-Manage, click View and create a second View window, set each window to the desired source, and drag and drop presets between the windows.

Preset switching latency

• Cliff: "The II does a few things different to try to make patch changes more seamless." Source
• Cliff: "Dropout is only 20-30 ms. If you are experiencing more than that then your MIDI controller is not programmed properly." Source
• For gapless switching, use Presets: scenes instead.
