It's fragile: Since Delay Compensation is enabled, adding any plugins to Ableton will incur more delay running back into the AxeFx.This is ungainly: You need to have your computer connected to your AxeFx and the Ableton set running.I found it necessary to reverse the phase of Output 3 on the AxeFx, as the delayed dry signal and Microcosm signal were cancelling each other out.I found that between 7.49ms and 7.52ms is the amount of delay required for the dry signal, in my environment.The Ableton set has Delay Compensation enabled.

All audio from Ableton is being returned to In USB. This is entirely my own fault, and will try again.īoth Out2 and Out3 are being read by Ableton.

I tried suggestion of using a Delay block, but wasn't able to get that to work.

The total amount of delay needed is more than 2 seconds.

Simply delay my dry path enough to avoid phasing and combing issues with the Microcosm which is connected to input 3 and Output 3. Nonetheless, I'll provide it here for all of you to either improve or deride.

I was finally able to get back to this and have found a solution, which is too complex and fragile. In that case, I will mute the 'dry' signal path in the Axe, or I will crank up the modulation on the Microcosm so the phasing is buried by the chorusing. I personally have a controller to turn Out 3 on and then have the In 3 level control on a performance page.Īdditionally, there are some Microcosm algorithms which have the dry signal as part of the 'fully wet' setting (such as 'interrupt'). In your case, you could have a mixer after the In 3 return and the attach a controller to adjust the mix balance, or a control switch so you can switch between two preset mix values. My solution is to always set the mix on the microcosm to 100 wet and the blend the two using controllers. But this is an unavoidable issue when using loops to mix in parallel with the 'dry' digital signal it doesn't matter what pedal you have in the loop and can also occur with other digital devices besides the Ax. I wish there was a killdry function on the Microcosm (requested).

It's enough to always cause nasty phasing in the signal. It's unfortunately always going to cause issues with 'dry' signal as you have the latency of the Out 3, In 3, and Microcosm to contend with.
