CONNECTING A COMPUTER

Connecting the AX8 to a computer via USB is optional, but it does provide some great benefits. Our free
utilities are a great way to take your experience to the next level. A USB connection is also required to install
firmware updates and make or restore backups.
 The first step is to connect your AX8 to the computer with a USB cable (not provided).
 No driver is required. The AX8 is plug and play.
 Install Fractal-Bot™ for firmware updates or to send and receive Presets, Banks, User Cabs and System files.
 Install AX8-Edit™ for a graphical way to work with AX8 presets and settings.
