Fractal Audio released Axe-Fx III firmware 32.06 on June 25, 2026, according to the downloads page for the Axe-Fx III. The maker states that the firmware is compatible with all Axe-Fx III models and versions.
Installation runs through Axe-Edit. Fractal Audio's instructions say to update Axe-Edit first, then use its built-in version of Fractal-Bot, found under the Tools menu, to perform the update. The page also points to a knowledgebase article for users who see a warning about DynaCabs after installing a firmware update.
