IF UPDATING FROM A PREVIOUS BETA AND USING AXE-EDIT BE SURE TO RUN "REFRESH AFTER FIRMWARE UPDATE".

Axe-Fx III Firmware Release Notes

23.00

Improved Amp block triode algorithm.

Improved Spring Reverb algorithm:
  • New algorithm is based on a digital waveguide with scattering nodes. This algorithm achieves accurate spring reproduction recreating the iconic “drip” and flutter of classic spring tanks.
  • There are two internal Spring Reverb types. The type can be selected using the Tank Type parameter. This parameter defaults to the appropriate type based on the model.
  • The first type has all the springs in parallel. This is used by the British Spring and Studio Spring models. This is equivalent to an Accutronics Type 8 reverb tank.
  • The second type has a pair of springs in series in parallel with one or more pairs of springs in series. This is equivalent to an Accutronics Type 4 (four springs) or Type 9 (six springs).
  • For the second Spring Reverb type the reflection off the junction between the coupled springs is controlled by the Scattering parameter. Vintage Accutronics reverb tanks exhibit more reflection off the junction than modern, Asian-made reverb tanks.
  • The “Drip” parameter controls the dispersion of the springs.
  • The various models have different tone controls.
  • Several new models have been added. The Tube Spring model is based on a 6G15 Tube Reverb and has an authentic tone control. Studio Spring is a hypothetical spring reverb with six long springs in parallel.
  • Note that the Modulation parameters have been removed as they are not compatible with the new algorithm.
  • Existing presets using Spring Reverb types are reset to default values. Audition as necessary.
Improved Reverb block early reflections. As a result, the default values of Early Level and Late Level for the models have been updated. Existing presets are automatically updated to the new values. Audition as necessary. The Early and Late Level parameters have also been removed from the Basic page of the Reverb block.

Added “Pre-Delay Tap” parameter to Reverb block. This selects the input to the reverb engine. When set to OUTPUT the behavior is as before. When set to INPUT the initial delay is absent. This allows more natural “Echo-Verb” sounds. This is now the default for these types of models and existing presets are automatically updated.

New Plate Reverb algorithm. This new algorithm captures the dispersion (Star Wars™ Laser “pew, pew” sound) and unique stereo imaging of classic plate reverbs. Dispersion is adjustable via the Dispersion parameter. Typical plates are around 25-50%. Set to higher values to exaggerate the effect. Stereo imaging is adjustable via the Pickup Spacing parameter.

Updated many of the Reverb models. Existing presets are not affected. Reselecting the model will load the new default values.

Updated all JS410 Lead models based on a current production JVM410HJS.

Added JS410 Lead Green amp model.

Added Pitch High Cut parameter to Reverb block. This can be used to darken/brighten the pitch-shifted component of the reverb.

Added Smoothing parameter to Cabinet block in Dyna-Cab mode.

Improved channel switching speed. Amp and Cabinet block channel switching times, in particular, are much improved. This, in turn, improves preset and scene switching times.

Preset, scene and channel changes are now gapless, if desired. A global parameter (Setup->Global Settings->Gapless Changes) allow turning this feature on or off.

Fixed NaN could occur in Euro Uber model at certain combinations of Presence and Speaker Impedance.

Various other fixes and improvements.

Schon ein bisschen lustig, dass schon Beta#6 draußen ist ...

Das war laut Amiforum der Grund:

Quote from Cliff
"Really weird bug. I copied and pasted the name "St. George's Church" from a web page. The apostrophe is a non-ASCII character and was causing the code to go off into the weeds. It looks like a regular apostrophe but it's character value is greater than 127 which wreaked havoc on the string functions. A normal apostrophe has a value of 39."

Auweia! Solche Bugs sind schon bissl peinlich. Gab es vor nicht allzu langer Zeit auch mal auf MacOS (bzw. damals hieß das wahrscheinlich noch OSX), dass sich das wegen einem besonderen Zeichen komplett verabschiedet hat.

Viel Spaß euch mit den neuen Funktionen 🙂

Als defensiver Programmierer vertrete ich sogar die These, dass Zeichen, die Probleme machen könnten, erst gar nicht zur Eingabe freigegeben werden dürfen. Wenn nur Zeichen mit ASCII-Werten zwischen 32 und 127 okay sind, würde es Sinn machen, das schon während der Eingabe auf den verschiedenen Wegen abzufragen.

Wieso? Mit Akkordeon angefangen? Unfall mit Drogen? Zurück zum Full-Marshall-Stack?
Nee; AxeFx II MKII !
Half-Stack mit 2 Topteilen steht hier auch noch… Aber dann bekomme ich die Wohnungskündigung…
Keine Updates mehr einspielen kann ja soooo entspannend sein ;-)

Ah, ich dachte, du hättest ein Gerät der 3. Generation.
OK; nein, ich bin immer noch bei Gen II.
Da ich, wie aus dem von mir letztens geposteten Bild mit den Drives und Compressoren hervorging, hybrid fahre, ist der Sound des IIers absolut OK.
Das AxeFx ist ja nur noch für Amp und Cab zuständig.
Alles andere mache ich mittlerweile wieder mit Bodengeräten, die aber im Koffer untergebracht sind.
Und außerdem spiele ich zeitweilig über einen meiner beiden Combos.
