Sweet! Thank you!!!

I've made some major changes to the example Lemur template, now called: "Axe for Lemur Lite".

Auto-detects Standard, Ultra, or Axe-FX II
Quickly switch between controlling two attached AxeFX units
LED progress indicator when reading parameters
Tabbed interface (add more tabs if you want, it is easy)
Example now includes a few Drive1 parameters on a second tab
Preset name display
Tap tempo display & control

Adding controls is now very easy. Copy and paste one of the containers holding a knob or fader. Be sure you paste it into one of the tabs of the myContainer object, otherwise my scripts won't find the new controls. Change the 'bid' and 'pid' values to specify the block and parameter ID that you want to control. Change the text legend that appears above the control. Save the template under a new name, then test to be sure it is working.

Wow! This is amazing!
May I ask how many parameters can Lemur receive from axe?

Hi, patch works fine with my setup and also able to call up a lot more parameters. Fantastic! However, I noticed that whenever i change presets via axe fx, lemur would hang and I think as a result of that axe fx would freeze as well. Everything works fine if I were to change presets from iPad. Not sure if this applies to the patch that was uploaded but mine has about 40 parameters including knobs and faders.

Cool! I am glad it is working for you.

I think the new template would support up to 256 knobs/faders. This limitation is set by the max array size in Lemur.

The polling rate can be adjusted in the DoEveryFrame() script. At the very end of the script, a line starting with "NextQueryTime = time + 0.2;". You could try a larger number, like 0.25 to give the AxeFX more time between commands. Or lower the number to see how fast you can get it to work reliably.

AxeFX freezing can occur if the preset in the AxeFX does not contain the blocks the template is trying to query. As soon as Liine fixes the incoming sysex issues, I'll add support for the GetBypassState message, and that should make a lockup less likely.

Fabulous!! Thank you sir!!

Hi, does anyone have any experience with setting up looper with lemur?

I've set up 5 pads and hooked them up with cc from 24 to 28 but axe fx ultra didn't seem to detect anything. Any advice?
