User contributions
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 other users' presets into your Axe-Fx. Presets have a .syx file extension. Presets are available through the user forum and Axe-Change for example.
- If you use Fractal-Bot, Axe-Edit or a MIDI librarian such as Snoize SysEx Librarian (Mac) or MIDI-OX (Windows): make a connection between your computer and the Axe-Fx, load the .syx file 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 but kept in a buffer. If you want to keep it on the Axe-Fx, select a preset slot and save it.
- Preset files are also kept in bank files. You can use Axe-Edit to pick individual presets from a bank file.
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
- Firmware 11: "Improved preset switching speed, in some cases drastically improved".
- For gapless switching, use Preset scene.
