Axis v0.8.2-beta
Axis v0.8.2-beta — community beta. A standalone editor for Fractal devices that bundles the ForgeFX engine — one install, no setup.
Added
- Two more devices — Axe-Fx II and VP4 (community beta). Axis now detects and edits the
Axe-Fx II family (the 4×12 grid, 8 scenes, X/Y channels, per-block params, bypass, and
preset backup) and the VP4 (its 4-slot serial chain, block params, bypass, and save). Both
auto-detect over USB-MIDI, or force the profile manually in the Axis hub → Connection. These
ship untested on hardware — treat them as beta and confirm changes on the device. Known
limits this release:- VP4 lists the blocks a preset contains, but their order reflects discovery order, not
the true physical slot (the slot-position read isn't decoded yet); writes are limited to
continuous knob values, bypass, and save — block placement, scene switching, and rename are
not yet decoded and are disabled. - Axe-Fx II is the more complete of the two; routing cables aren't drawn on its grid yet
(blocks render and edit; the signal path between them isn't visualised).

Changed
- Bundled ForgeFX engine gains the Axe-Fx II (gen-2) and VP4 device drivers plus their
handshake / port-name detection; the forgefx-midi codec enables both model IDs.
