Panowie, możecie mi podesłać parę SWOICH najlepszych presetów do Ultry? Chcę zobaczyć jak kręcicie, obczaić tricki itd. Jak macie jakieś ekstra nieswoje to też będę wdzięczny.

Powiedzcie mi wy warto inwestować w nowe impulsy paczek? Jeżeli tak, to jakie? Tylko FAS udostępnia Ultraresy?

Release notes :

Spoiler

17.00
Added preamp simulation to Cabinet block. The simulations recreate the sound of overdriven channel strips, preamps, tapes, etc. The Drive parameter controls the gain of the simulation. The Sat parameter controls the ratio of even/odd harmonics. The Preamp Mode parameter (on Page 2) allows selecting between Economy and High Quality modes. In High Quality mode oversampling is employed to prevent aliasing but this results in higher CPU usage.

Added “3 Band Console” types to Graphic EQ and Amp blocks.

Added “Fast RMS” detector type to Multiband Compressor.

Added “SDD Preamp”, “FET Preamp” and “Ruckus” types to Drive block.

Changed Cabinet Type parameter behavior so that the value wraps around at limits.
The Flanger block has been completely rewritten. The new algorithms now model the behavior of classic bucket-brigade device (BBD) units (except they are true stereo). Any existing presets will need to be auditioned and possibly edited. The Depth parameter works somewhat differently now and sets the maximum delay time (up to 20 ms). When Auto Depth is not off the maximum delay is reduced as the rate is increased. There are now three Auto Depth values: Low, Medium and High. Turning Auto Depth to Off allows complete control over the delay time. The minimum time is set by the Delay parameter and the maximum time is set by the Depth. Several new Flanger types have been added which demonstrate the new algorithms.
The Chorus block has a new algorithm based on the BBD algorithm developed for the Flanger block. All the “Analog” chorus types now use this algorithm. Several new types have been added which demonstrate the new algorithms.
The EQ page of the Amp block now supports changing the EQ Type using the Up/Down Nav buttons. The type of EQ will be briefly displayed after it has been changed. The type is also briefly displayed when first switching to that page.

Added “DYN EQ” GUI page to Amp block. This page now holds the Dynamic Depth, Dynamic Presence, Character Amount (Char Amt, previously named “Character”)
and Character Freq parameters as well as two new parameters: Character Type and Character Q. Character Type selects between a shelving behavior or a peaking behavior. The previous behavior was always shelving. Character Q controls the bandwidth of the response when the peaking behavior is chosen. The Character parameters now control a powerful dynamic equalizer that can be used to achieve tones and feel impossible with a real amplifier. Negative values of the Character Amount along with a peaking behavior result in midrange scoop where the scoop increases as you play harder. Positive values result in a midrange boost as you play harder. Experiment with the frequency, Q and amount to achieve interesting dynamic response.

Added VU meters to Utility menu. The meters show the relative loudness of the channels. These readouts can be used to help set preset levels to the same apparent volume. For convenience the level of the Amp blocks can be set from this page. Also, the value of the Output Level knobs is displayed in this page for reference (note that this is only for reference and does not affect the VU meters as the measurement is prior to the Output Level potentiometers).

Added “1959SLP Jump” amp model.

Added “FAS Modern III” amp model. Similar to a Recto but with tighter bass and a cathode-biased power amp.

Added shortcut to Ref Solo in first page of Tone Match block. Pressing the Down button will toggle the Ref Solo value allowing one to switch between the reference sound and the local (user) sound with the press of a button.
The level of the USB input signal when NOT routed to the input (when Main Input Source is NOT set to USB) has been reduced by 6 dB to prevent clipping when playing along with tracks that have been mastered at very high levels (near 0 dBFS).

Improved Amp block power supply modeling by accounting for DC sag due to quiescent bias currents.

Changed name of “ODS-100 Lead” and “ODS-100 Lead Mid” to “ODS-100 HRM” and “ODS-100 HRM Mid” respectively to indicate that they are based on the “HRM” version of the ODS circuit. The names of the “ODS-100 Lead 2” and “ODS-100 Lead 3” models have been changed to “ODS-100 Ford 1” and “ODS-100 Ford 2” respectively to indicate that they are based on the “non-HRM” version of the ODS circuit.

Fixed minor math error in Amp block transformer matching calculations.

Fixed wrong CF Comp value in Solo 100 amp models.

All the ODS-100 models have been redone and re-MIMIC’d based on errors found in the models (wrong negative feedback values).

Added “ODS-100 Ford MD” model which is the same as ODS-100 Ford 1 but with the Mid switch engaged.

Added “Rumble HRM” tone stack type which is based on a plate-driven Plexi-style tone stack found in a Dumble “Hot Rubber Monkey” amplifier.

An exact solution has been implemented for the power amp feedback network in the “USA” amp models. As such all these amp models have been redone accordingly with the exception of the “USA Pre” amp models which use a more conventional power amp model. Any presets using these amp models should be reset either by deselecting then reselecting the amp model or by using the “Update Amps Default” in the Utility->Preset menu. Note: due to the unique topology of the feedback network in these amps the Depth control is non-functional.

A “Presence Shift” switch has been added to certain “USA” amp models (those based on amps with a “Pull Shift” on the Presence knob). This switch is found under the Presence control and replicates the behavior when the Presence knob is pulled out on these amps. Note that the behavior of this switch is authentic and may result in volume reduction when active since the negative feedback is increased which lowers the loop gain.

Replaced the two 4x12 “Kalthallen” cabs with two UltraRes samples from Cab Pack 7.

Fixed several wrong values in Fox ODS amp models.

Fixed wrong value on input plate network in PVH 6160 II model.

damn, mark VI poprawione + FAS III, umieram z ciekawości.

[lordgreg33]

Pany, zapraszam po nowy firware. Do 3 siedziałem i ogrywałem nowe reverby (stare też, ale w nowym trybie "high quality"). Odjazd.

Odjazdowo wzrasta zużycie CPU

Z moich obserwacji x2

Powiedzcie mi wy warto inwestować w nowe impulsy paczek? Jeżeli tak, to jakie? Tylko FAS udostępnia Ultraresy?

Absolutnie polecam impulsy przygotowane przez forumowego speca od impulsów Sinquestsounda , odkąd posiadam w dupie mam inne... 
Posty połączone: 06 Gru, 2014, 10:21:39Wczoraj a właściwie dziś do 4 rano ogrywałem FAS III i powiem tak : w połączeniu z impulsem Sina ( konkretnie najfajniej mi to gadało z hesu ) urywa dupsko. Charakterem przypomina mi nieco Satana ale jest taki bardziej plastyczny, bardzo naturalny nowoczesny sound. Piszcie proszę o swoich odczuciach co do nowego firmware, piszcie o swoich faworytach...

FW 17.02

http://forum.fractalaudio.com/axe-fx-ii-discussion/93734-axe-fx-ii-firmware-17-02-released.html

Release notes :

Spoiler

17.02
Low Cut and High Cut have been extended to the Quad-Tap and Quad Tape types in the Multidelay block. These parameters control highpass and lowpass filters which filter the feedback from all the delay lines in contrast to the individual bandpass filters on each delay line. This allows quick and easy creation of bandlimited delays.

Added Drive parameter to Quad-Tap and Quad Tape types in Multidelay block.

The behavior of the Feedback parameters in the Quad-Tap and Quad Tape types in the Multidelay block has been improved. The feedback is no longer constrained to sum to 100%. Instead the total feedback is calculated and then normalized to 100% if the total exceeds 100%. This allows easier control of the feedback values.

Fixed VU Meter in Cab block not working when two instances of the Cab block are present.

Fixed excessive CPU use if modifier connected to certain parameters in Chorus and Flanger blocks.

Fixed Edited LED not lighting if Amp block Level changed from Utility menu’s VU page.

Fixed wrong Hi Cut (Brilliance) pot value in Hot Kitty amp model.

Fixed wrong Low Cut frequency in Fox ODS II model. The two Fox models have been renamed “Fox ODS” and “Fox ODS Deep” respectively with the latter indicating that the Deep switch is activated. It should be noted that both models are modeled with the Preamp Bypass (PAB) active.

Fixed FAS Brootalz model using wrong feedback network.

Fixed using Air controls in Cab block along with Preamp models causes phase issues.

Fixed USB audio output level fluctuating during preset changes.

Fixed remote IR capture (Cab-Lab) brings up wrong page in Utility menu.

Added “Mr Z Hwy 66” amp model.

Added “Super 6G4” amp model.

Added “Concert 6G12” amp model.

[między innymi 3 nowe ampy , razem pękło 200]

[Nightmarishreaper]

Fixed USB audio output level fluctuating during preset changes.

Pytanie do posiadaczy II :

Czy ktoś podłączał zewnętrzny sterownik midi (nie MFC) i miał jakieś opóźnienia przy przełączaniu presetów?
Dziś testowałem sprawę i mam wyraźną latencję w przełączaniu między presetami. Ten sam sterownik (Thunder) na Ultrze przełączał praktycznie niezauważalnie presety , tutaj to jakieś nieporozumienie :/ . Ktoś coś?

Lechu, nadal masz problemy z Thunderem, czy może kolejne updejty Axe wyeliminowały opóźnienia o których wspominałeś?

[Lechu_]

Nie testowalem z ostatnim FW ale poprzednie działały już sprawnie , trzeba było przestawić w ustawieniach Axe jeden drobiazg.

Release notes :

Spoiler

*17.03 *
Improved power amp screen grid and anode voltage dependence calculations. This results in more “open” tone and improved dynamic response especially when the virtual power amp is overdriven. This has necessitated changes to the default Cathode Squish value for the some models. Existing presets will have the Cathode Squish value updated automatically upon recall.

Added “65 Bassguy Bass” amp model. This is the bass channel of an AB165 Bassman. The existing “65 Bassguy” model has been renamed “65 Bassguy Nrml” to indicate that it is the normal channel.

Added “Vibra-King Fat” amp model.

List menus now wrap at limits when using up or down Nav buttons for easier access to parameters at the opposite end of the list.

Fixed Mr Z Hwy 66 model gain dropping if Drive set above 9.5.

Fixed wrong stage gain in Deluxe Verb amp model.

Fixed wrong triode plate voltage in 1987X models.

Fixed wrong B+ capacitor value in 1959SLP and Plexi 100W amp models.

Fixed wrong transformer matching value and wrong coupling capacitor value in Citrus Terrier model.

Fixed various errors in the Suhr Badger models. Re-MIMIC’d models accordingly. Note that these amps do not have Hi-Cut controls and the Hi-Cut control in the model is therefore non-functional.

Fixed wrong Tone pot value in Ruckus model in Drive block.

Fixed Hold in Ping-Pong Delay not working properly. Note that this fix will increase the level of the echoes in existing presets.

Mam pytanie które mnie meczy po 1,5 roku z Ultrą mianowicie jak wy to robicie live bo u mnie historia wyglada tak:

Mam preset który ustawie sobie na odsluchach w domu brzmi mi pieknie gram zadowolony myśle sobie ale bedzie szał macicy i jade na koncerta a tam ten preset po lini brzmi jak gówno z frontów wiec trzeba ukrecić inny preset do grania live a axe nie miał dawac tej wygody że brzmisz jak na nagrywce grając na żywo?

Może coś źle robie to podpowiedzcie jak to u was wygląda.

Może coś źle robie to podpowiedzcie jak to u was wygląda.

Bo to trochę inaczej brzmi na odsłuchach i głośnościach domowych a inaczej na frontach/paczce i głośnościach koncertowych (krzywa fletchera-munsona). Ja jak miałem ultrę to wyglądało to tak - jedne presety do nagrywek i grania w domu, drugie presety live. Różnice - brałem preset na nagrywki/dom i na koncertówki - trochę mniej basu, mniej góry, więcej środka, trochę mniej gainu i było spoko. No i - wyrównanie poziomów we wszystkich presetach
