Fractal Audio Systems released firmware version 22 for the Axe-Fx in March 2023, adding Dyna-Cab cabinet modeling to the processor, according to the company's timeline1. Versions for the FM9 and FM3 were released shortly afterwards1.
DynaCab cabinet modeling allows freely positioning the microphone, which the company says makes it easier and more intuitive to achieve desired tonal results1. The timeline does not list further controls, specifications or a price for the firmware.
"Firmware v ersion 22 introduces Dyna-Cab™ cabinet modeling to the Axe-Fx. Versions for FM9 and FM3 are released shortly afterwards."
The company later extended the system to the desktop: in October 2023 it released Cab-Lab 4, which it describes as bringing DynaCab mixing to the desktop, with a free plugin version also released1. That system uses "Dyna Cab Packs" representing a variety of popular speaker cab models, for use with Fractal Audio products or any DAW1.
Fractal Audio was founded in 2006 to create the Axe-Fx line of preamp/effect processors1. Cabinet and speaker simulation is also handled by dedicated speaker simulation pedals.
