Fractal Fx8 - pitch shift not accurate

[glpg80]

Actually no. I took the same preset and changed it to 1 octave and it goes up 1 octave no issues.

Thoughts ?

Sounds like it’s a bug in the latest update. I’d suggest going to the fractal forum and making a thread about it. You’ll either get banned or thanked.

Yikes! I did post and was told to recalibrate the expression pedal. Gonna try that and see how it goes.

Will also have to see if I can downgrade the firmware without an issue.

Did you get it resolved?

No I didn't have enough time last night. I'll be back at the studio Thursday, so gonna try it some more than and update you guys.

Ok so I recalibrated the pedal, adjusted the control on the Pitch Shift to go from 0 to 97 since that's the range of the pedal and no go. I did test 2 octaves down and it works no issue.

So 1 octave up works, 1 octave down works, 2 octaves down works. 2 octaves down no go still.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Maybe a mechanical issue with the pedal?

Tried 2 pedals. Same issue.

I adjusted the control on the pitch for the pedal from 0 to 97 for one pedal and 0 to 90 for the other one and no go.

It's weird that it works for 1 octave up and 2 octaves down, but not 2 octaves up.

I downgraded to 5.03 as it's the last "supported" version and same issue.

So this is now fixed. Folks on the fractal forum pointed me in the right direction.


In the control parameter of the pitch that's tied to the expression pedal, I changed the scale parameter from 1.0 to 1.1 and it's pitching correctly.

Cheers ?

Everything’s fine. The amp models aren’t accurate either

I have nothing to add, but I watched intently hoping to learn. I'm glad it's fixed, and I'm glad we all learned something.
