Preset loading/switching: sharing presets between Axe-Fx II and Axe-Fx II XL

  • Presets created on the Axe-Fx II XL can be loaded in the Axe-Fx II via Axe-Edit.

Preset loading/switching: 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 loading/switching: speed of switching

  • 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 the Preset scene functionality.
