COMPUTER INPUTS 1+2
Source: The output of the OUT 1 block on the grid.
Applications: Record the stereo processed output of the Axe-Fx III.
COMPUTER INPUTS 3+4
Source: The output of the OUT 2 block on the grid.
Applications: Record a second stereo processed signal.
COMPUTER INPUTS 5+6
Source: The signal at the Input 1/Instrument jack (front or rear).
Note: Input 1 is mono, so the same signal is fed to both Left and Right channels.
Applications: Record a DI signal for re-amping.
COMPUTER INPUTS 7+8
Source: The signal at the Input 2 jacks. (Left = 7, Right= 8)
Applications: Record a stereo source without processing.
Each of the 16 USB audio channels is “hard-wired” to a specific Axe-Fx III input or output.
As with all USB Audio devices, inputs and outputs are defined with respect to the computer.
COMPUTER OUTPUTS 1+2
Destination: The Output 1 D/A converter which feeds all Output 1 jacks, Headphones,
and possibly SPDIF/AES. USB audio is added to the signal from the OUT 1 grid block
(if any) and this mix is passed to the output converters.
Applications: Play stereo audio from the computer through the Axe-Fx III.
COMPUTER OUTPUTS 3+4
Destination: The Output 2 D/A converter which feeds the Output 2 jacks, and possibly
SPDIF/AES.
Applications: Play a second stereo signal through the Axe-Fx III. Ideal for backing
tracks so they can be fully independent from processed guitar at Output 1.
COMPUTER OUTPUTS 5+6
Destination: The input of the IN 1 block IF Input 1 Source is set to “USB”.
See
“Input 1 Source” on p. 114
and
“Input Blocks” on p. 52
.
Applications: Route tracks to the Axe-Fx III for processing. Ideal for re-amping a DI.
COMPUTER OUTPUTS 7+8
Destination: The IN U (USB) grid block. Signal appearing here will be processed by the
block’s noise gate, etc.
Applications: Route additional DAW track(s) to the Axe-Fx III for processing without
requiring changes to SETUP: I/O: Audio.
