Difference between revisions of "Axe-Fx Standard and Ultra (legacy)"

Revision as of 22:24, 17 September 2013

The first generation of the Axe-Fx consisted of two models:
- The original Axe-Fx (now commonly known as Axe-Fx Standard) was released in 2006.
- In 2008, Fractal released the Axe-Fx Ultra, which doubled the processing power, added memory and Ultra-only effects.
With the release of the Axe-Fx II in May 2011, Fractal has discontinued production of these two models (End Of Life).
Cliff: "I really wish I could update the Standard and Ultra but it is simply out of memory. There are literally 1309 words left (out of 128K) in the Ultra's EPROM. That's enough room for maybe one or two amp models and that's it. IR slots are limited by the size of the SRAM which is fixed. I'd like nothing more than to bring some of the Axe-Fx II modeling to those old products but it's simply not feasible." Source

Presets created on the Standard and Ultra are not compatible with the Axe-Fx II. Presets create on those devices can't be imported into Axe-Edit, unless you're running an older version of Axe-Edit.
