Global blocks: supported by which Fractal Audio products?

When backing up a preset with global blocks, you also always need to backup the System data too, to be able to restore the stored data.

Modifier settings are not saved within global blocks. The same goes for controllers settings. You can use Recall Effect in the Axe-Fx II to copy controller settings from one preset to another, or use the editor.

The state (On/Off) of a Global block is saved per preset. This means you can set Global Block #1 Off in one preset, and On in another.
If you want global control of the bypass state of an effect block, here's a solution:
1. Attach the Bypass parameter of the effect block to an External controller.
2. In the I/O menu, switch the External controller between 0% or 100% to change the effect's Bypass state. Or assign a switch on your foot controller to the MIDI CC of the External Controller to switch the block.
3. This works with global and non-global blocks, and across all presets with the same effect block.

The Noise Gate in the GTE/IN menu, including the Level control on that page, can be linked to a global block.

You can unlink a global block in the following ways:
- Within the global block menu.
- By using STRIP ALL GLOBAL DATA in Utility.
- By pressing Enter while in the Recall menu on the Axe-Fx II.
- By using Axe-Edit or Fractal-Bot.
