Cab Mix Parameters
The
Cab
block
MIX
page also has
LEVEL, BALANCE,
and
BYPASS MODE
parameters.
for more information.
The following parameters also appear on the MIX page:
MOTOR DRIVE
– This models the effect of high power levels on the tone of the speaker. The Motor Drive
parameter controls the relative drive level and, therefore, the intensity of the effect.
AIR, AIR FREQ
– Adds “air” and sets the cutoff frequency to determine if it is dark or bright sounding.
User Cabs
5.2.1
In addition to the onboard “Factory” cabs, the Axe-Fx II allows you to store User” Impulse Response (“
IR
”) files
onboard—1024 (on the XL/XL+) or 100 (on the Mark II/original).
Here’s how it works: first, you need an IR file. An great source for free IRs is http://axechange.fractalaudio.com,
our online repository of presets and cabs. Fractal Audio Systems also offers professionally produced
Cab Packs
at
http://shop.fractalaudio.com. Next, you’ll need to transmit your IR to the Axe-Fx II. Our various software
applications are ideal: Fractal-Bot, Cab-Lab, and Axe-Edit. Before transmitting the IR, you’ll select a location on
your Axe-Fx II where it is to be stored. Once you transmit the file, the sound of that cab is then available on your
unit. For step-by-step instructions on loading User Cab IRs, see section
1.1
of the Appendix on p.
170
.
The results of Tone Matching (p.
) can also be saved into a user cab memory.
You can also capture your own User Cab IRs, using a built in utility and a mic’d cab. See
on p.
As you scroll through user cabs by their numbers in the Cab
TYPE
parameter, NAMES will appear in the bottom of
the display. These names come from within the data of the user cab SysEx file. Names can be changed before a Cab
IR file is loaded into the Axe-Fx II, but not after.
