==FracPad==
* Forum member and programmer AlGrenadine has created a handy tablet/phone editor for the Axe-Fx II and AX8: FracPad. It provides all the tools to edit and manage presets, blocks etc. without having to connect a computer.
* [http://forum.fractalaudio.com/threads/fracpad.120946 More information on the forum].
* It's commercial software, available for [http://www.e-junkie.com/fracpad Android (6.0+)] and [https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/fracpad/id1154402237 iOS].

==Connecting FracPad: Android==
* Android USB: this requires a compatible USB adapter, called "USB OTG". This works on AX8 and Axe-Fx II models.
* Android Bluetooth: the Yamaha UD-BT01 is recommended for the AX8. Launch the app "MIDI BLE Connect" ([https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobileer.example.midibtlepairing PlayStore]), followed by FracPad.

==Connecting FracPad: iOS==
* iOS USB: required when using the AX8 (the AX8 doesn't support editing through MIDI). Use the "USB camera adapter" for Apple devices.
* iOS MIDI: required when using the Axe-Fx II (the Axe-Fx II doesn't have a USB host). Use a 3rd party iOS MIDI interface sucha as iRig2 MIDI, or a general purpose USB-MIDI interface like Roland's UM-One in conjunction with the "USB camera adapter" for Apple devices.
* iOS Bluetooth: Bluetooth Low Energy is required, so check that your iDevice handles Bluetooth LE (Bluetooth 4.0+). This means at least iPad3 or iPhone4s ([https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/DeviceInformation/Reference/iOSDeviceCompatibility/DeviceCompatibilityMatrix/DeviceCompatibilityMatrix.html source]).
** AX8: the Yamaha UD-BT01 is recommended. Launch the app "Midimttr" ([https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/midimittr/id925495245?mt=8 AppStore]), followed by FracPad.
** Axe-Fx II and Bluetooth: the Yamaha MD-BT01 (note the different product number) is recommended. It requires the use of the MIDI IN and OUT ports. Launch the app "Midimttr" ([https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/midimittr/id925495245?mt=8 AppStore]), followed by FracPad.
