There have been many questions about Axe-Edit. The soon-to-be-released Axe-Edit 1.0 with Axe-Manage will fully support the Axe-Fx Standard, Axe-Fx Ultra, and Axe-Fx II. Given the announcement of Axe-Fx II you can now understand all that's been happening behind the scenes. The screen shot posted last week shows the current beta, working great. Aside from Axe-Manage, the main EDITOR in the newest build is now in 1.0 status, but with "Preset Manager" removed in favor of Axe-Manage, a release of the new product must follow completion of Axe-Fx II testing, which is currently underway. New features already in place include MFC-101 merge support, better legacy MIDI Interface interaction, smarter source handling and management, numerous bug fixes, and much more. Meanwhile, Axe-Change encountered a setback when we lost a great volunteer developer (PHP/PERL/SQL... got chops?) but we the team expects to refocus on this component to launch not long after the impending release of the software suite.
