Fractal-Bot: what is it
- Fractal-Bot is a free, lightweight transfer utility, which enables you to easily send and receive data to and from your Axe-Fx II, MFC-101 or FX8.
- You can use Fractal-Bot to:
- upgrade the firmware of the Axe-Fx II, MFC-101 and FX8
- transfer presets or preset banks
- retrieve user cabs from the Axe-Fx II
- create backups of Fractal Audio products
- fix a "bricked" device.
- Fractal-Bot does not support the first generation Axe-Fx models.
- Download Fractal-Bot (Windows, OS X)
- Download the manual
- Visit the forum
Fractal-Bot: connecting
- You need to install Fractal Audio's USB drivers first, see USB connectivity.
- You can use the Axe-Fx II as a MIDI interface. Read the manual or follow the instructions after launching Fractal-Bot.
Fractal-Bot: troubleshooting
- If the Browse button doesn't work, exit Fractal-Bot, delete the file "Fractal-Bot.settings" and restart.
- If the factory preset banks on the Axe-Fx II show up empty after updating with Fractal-Bot, install the latest firmware first. Old firmware (even minor versions) may not always be able to read newer preset revisions.
- Communication issues:
- Try another USB cable.
- Do not use cable extenders or USB hubs.
- Try another USB port.
- Check for corrupt IRs or presets. Even empty slots may be corrupt (clear them using the software editor).
