Real-time MIDI editor for the Fractal Axe-Fx II and III. Control presets, scenes, every block, and your routing grid from your iPad.
$9.99 at launch · iPad
Coming soon to the App Store// SAFE BY DESIGN
Your presets are safe.
AxeBlock Edit works in the edit buffer — the same temporary space the unit uses when you turn knobs on the front panel. Nothing writes to a stored preset until you hit Save.
// PRESETS & SCENES
Step through presets and scenes from your iPad. The unit follows instantly over MIDI — no menu diving on the front panel.
// AMP EDIT
Move knobs, flip Boost / Cut / Fat / Bright. The app and the unit stay in sync in real time.
// ROUTING GRID
See the full signal chain at a glance. The routing grid mirrors exactly what's loaded on your unit.
// CAB & IR BROWSER
Browse every cab and IR slot on the unit by name — factory, user, legacy — and load them without touching the front panel.
// LOOPER
The III's looper transport on your iPad: record, play, once, undo, reverse, half-speed. The same five controls Axe-Edit gives you.
// TUNER & TAP
Engage the tuner with one tap. Tap tempo lands on the beat — no latency surprises.
// CONTROLLERS
Edit the modifiers that move your sound — LFOs, ADSRs, envelope follower, sequencer. Attach one to any knob and watch the unit follow in real time.
// WIRELESS
Pair a WIDI Bluetooth-MIDI adapter to your Axe-Fx II and cut the cable. Tested on real hardware. USB is still the tightest link; Bluetooth trades a little latency for zero cables.
// COMPATIBILITY
Axe-Fx III
USB class-compliant — plug straight into your iPad (USB-C or camera adapter). No driver.
Axe-Fx II · XL · XL+
Bluetooth MIDI (WIDI adapter) or a 5-pin DIN MIDI interface.
// WHAT AXEBLOCK EDIT CONTROLS
Deep editing — every block and parameter, the block grid — is live on the Axe-Fx III. Load presets, and run the show live — scenes, channels, block bypass, tap tempo, tuner, looper — from the iPad on your music stand.
