This may seem at first to be a complex video, but stick with it! The method here is incredibly useful and straightforward once you get the hang of it. I've simplified the last part of the video for clarity!
@coopercarter Was a little confused cause my comment disappeared but I found your response in my inbox 😅 happy to be of help, as your vid really helped as well! Love my FM3! Cheers!
You are an amazing artist really im a guitarist and i love pop music really i hope one day my dreams it comes true to play guitar with you its my dream Cooper really you are my inspiration this video its really awesome amazing im a guitarist and i love fm3 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🌟🌞⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
This is a nice cheat code to basically get any number of modifiable knobs easily/precisely dialed in for 3 values. I really like it. As long as you only need 3 sets (0, 50, 100% numbers) then you can use them across all 8 scenes with other effects or scene controllers coming in. But if you wanted those same 9 modified parameters to have a 4th set of values then it doesn’t really work. Just a limitation I guess, but this is way better then thinking you can only modify 4 parameters with the 4 scene controllers.
this is like opening a door into a large room full of new potentials.. I definitely like getting different purpose driven tones from the same amp without having to change channels or blocks.. truly amazing what the Axe-Fx can do.. thanks Mr Carter!
@coopercarter I have a question for you sir: the 0%, 50% and 100% references Start, Mid and End and is used for Scenes 1, 2 and 3, so I get that; but is there a way to get more scenes into the picture? perhaps by using Scene Controller 2 the same way but for Scenes 4, 5 and 6?
Excellent! Excellent!! EXCELLENT!!! I’ve got a friend who plugs his LP straight into a Marshall. He’d have shut this off 30 seconds in. But that ain’t me. Thanks so much, Cooper. Love Scene Controllers and you just multiplied them by 10!
Great video. Been using scene controllers but this is a completely new approach. Sticking to channel A and then tying in the values after you’ve dialed them right is awesome.
This video its amazing i think with fractal we can do more things amazing its wonderful i hope one day make a song with you its my dream you are my inspiration Cooper really 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸⭐🌞🌟🌟🌞⭐⭐⭐🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Really interesting and really useful, I use a lot those scene controllers. But still don’t know how and why those values attached to the scene controllers panel are tied/related with scenes. Can’t try it at the moment (still on tour) but does that mean we can apply one scene controllers to seven scenes ( as there is 7 knobs on the line) Is it a non documented magic trick? Very interesting and I want to know more !
Really complex topic for advanced fractal users i think. Must watch this video a few times to get to the meaning and adjustments of the modifier page knobs.
This is perhaps the perfect way to demo how the modifier system is overly complicated and difficult to work with because you can't see how all that stuff affects the attached controls without going back and forth and adjusting all this stuff.
I’m sorry, but it should not be this complicate. Look at Helix, change any number of parameters, save it and boom, you have it. Yes, it’s not this powerful but it’s so easy to program it. I love my Fm9, but in this department our unit is lacking. You could implement both ways, and let the user choose easy or complex to alter other aspects of the controller as you have demonstrated. Anyway, many thanks as always for the video, your classes are amazing. Best regards!
I'm not incredibly familiar with the current Helix UI, but you may be confusing options with complexity. There are definitely simpler ways to get just three amp tones on a Fractal if you don't need/want scene controllers. You could easily just use no scene controllers, enter any number of parameters on channel a, switch channels to b, and start entering other parameters there, etc. This is just one way to do it.
@@coopercarter many thanks for answering. I was not referring specifically about amp tones but any number of parameters of any effects used in the preset. It’s like taking a photograph of the whole chain at that specific value and you save it in one scene. Then you can alter everything in the previous scene and take another photograph and save it in scene 2, and so on. I know we have channels, but then you have to assign all of them to the same effect in order to do what Helix does in one step. Then we lose the advantage of having four different effects (which I love) in one block. Does make sense? I hope I explained well. Best regards!!!
I will try this, right now I can’t make my fractal do what I’m doing on my helix either. On that UI you can set a tone save it, go to next scene change anything you want and save it etc etc takes under a min to do everything I just saw here. Thanks for the tips Carter
Totally. Love the Fractal for the sound, but the snapshot approach of Line6 is on a whole other level. No scene controllers; just Alt-click, turn a knob and save the 'scene'. The approach shown in this video is a nice cheat but let's be honest, it's a workaround which should not be necessary.
I think that this is more from a programmers view and some, including myself, really like it. However this is bad design for most potential consumers to have to deal with. We need better UI-design regarding the consumer view of simplicity and that is not easy things to do.
You can defend it all you want, but it is really very stupid to have to do all those steps just to change and save a parameter, in this case if Fractal must see QC and Line 6, the number of steps to do this is ridiculous.

That was a big eye opener. I did not know you could do so much with a single scene controller.
🤯🤯🤯

I am endlessly amazing at the possibilities.

Used Fractal for years and did not know scene controller could do all this!
That was me!!! lol. Thanks Cooper!
Hey Coop, I have both an Axe Fx III and a FM 3 and this video just opened my mind up to some new possibilities for programing my patches and Senes.
WOW! I use SC's but had no idea they could be used like that! Amazing and thanks CC!!
Great video. Been using scene controllers but this is a completely new approach. Sticking to channel A and then tying in the values after you’ve dialed them right is awesome.
Awesome video, thank you.
I loved it. It’s a question that I recently had and it was answered. Thanks Cooper!!! 👌👌👌
This is great! A nice systematic approach. Thanks again!
Brilliant video
Thanks!! this is awesome , never thought of using it this way
With this setup how hard would it be to change a parameter on the unit at a gig? If you needed to lower reverb mix for example
Amazing video i untersand it
It is nice to see that you can do this, but the Helix way is far better. One of the things I miss from the Helix after upgrading to AxeFX.
This was great. I’ve been using scene controllers but not this way.
This video its amazing i think with fractal we can do more things amazing its wonderful i hope one day make a song with you its my dream you are my inspiration Cooper really 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸⭐🌞🌟🌟🌞⭐⭐⭐🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@COOPERCARTER - What cab block where you using with the Friedman, tone sounds solid ! I may have missed that in the vid !! Great stuff and approach.

I don't understand how this works for more than three scenes though.

Too complex. It should be easier. Just like Helix snapshots.
Still way too complicated to set up. This is 1 thing helix does way better than fractal IMO. Change a snapshot to anything you want and just hit save.
It's incredible that an almost $2000 device can only control 4 parameters, basically junk software. Fractal must go and ask Helix Snapshot for help.
