Axis v0.7.0-beta — community beta. A standalone editor for Fractal devices that bundles the ForgeFX engine — one install, no setup.

Added

  • Grid Map navigator. A collapsible miniature of the whole signal chain inside the block
    editor — tap a block to jump the editor to it, tap an empty cell to add a block there, tap a
    port to route. Fit-to-width with zoom; built for mobile, handy everywhere.
  • Tap-to-connect routing. Tap a port to arm it (no more drag needed), then tap ANY block in a
    later column — on the map or the main grid, even across mobile pages. Shunts are laid
    automatically across any distance.
  • Audition presets (Axe-Change style). Library device presets get an "Audition" action that
    loads them into the edit buffer without switching slots or saving anything.
  • Foot Controller editor on FM9 and Axe-Fx III. FM9 gets the full layout × switch editor via
    its device-true address model; the Axe-Fx III gets flat per-config editing. Writes are blind
    (no live read-back yet) but device-true; live read-back stays FM3-only for now.
  • Device Tools for every model. Backup/restore a preset as .syx, offline-decode .syx
    files, validate firmware files, and view the modifier model — each section appears when the
    connected device supports it (this also brings the former AM4-only tools to the FM3/FM9/III).

Changed

  • The bundled engine was rebuilt on a per-device driver architecture over the shared
    forgefx-midi codec package, with a unified, capability-driven API. Every FM3 response was
    byte-for-byte verified unchanged through the migration; the recurring
    wrong-codec-for-the-device bug class is structurally gone.
  • Cloud badges are honest now: a preset that is on the device can no longer be mislabeled
    "Cloud only"; entries without a comparable revision show a neutral "sync state unknown".

Fixed

  • Axe-Fx III on Windows connects again — detection previously never switched off the FM3
    profile for USB-MIDI-only units, so every request timed out ("device offline").
  • Export to disk works for device presets — it had been silently broken from the start
    (the export hit an API route that never existed) and now downloads a real dump.
