With Axiom, Blue cat Audio offers a mixture of multi-effect processor and amp simulation for guitars and basses. Based on the popular "Destructor" plug-in, Axiom delivers an infinite number of tones, consisting of two amp simulation channels (with pre and post effects) that can be mixed or alternatively used like a real amp. Users can choose from hundreds of presets or the amp editor, which gives them complete control over the sound and shapes it. Additional input and master sections with 4 effect slots each allow sound shaping, while a brickwall limiter protects the output from"too hot" signals.

MAIN FEATURES
- Powerful and unlimited multi-effects processor and amp modeling software for guitar and bass.
- Realistic and fully customizable amp simulation based on Blue Cat's Destructor.
- Flexible routing: 2 parallel amp simulation channels with effects + input and master sections.
- 44 high quality built-in effects: wah, delays, reverb, pitch bender, EQ, filters, distortion units, compressor, gate, chorus, flanger.
- Includes Blue Cat's Re-Guitar, Destructor and Late Replies as built-in effects.
- Built-in high precision tuner.
- Open and extensible: load any third party VST, VST3 or Audio Unit (AU) plug-in.
- Load and manipulate impulse responses (IR) in the amp simulator or the built-in EQ plug-in.
- Delivered with thousands of presets for all sections and built-in effects.
- Load third party virtual instruments to play along.
- Global stereo spread control.
- Lock sections to prevent changes when loading presets.
- No latency.

V2.0 (2023/09/12)
Axiom V2 represents a major leap forward in our guitar software, bridging the gap between beginners seeking user-friendly features and advanced users craving expanded capabilities.

Redesigned User Interface
- Introducing "EZ mode", a customizable view that streamlines access to main controls, ideal for live gigs and quick tone adjustments.
- New 3D HD graphics offer a plethora of styles for amps, pedals, and custom macro controls.
- Create your unique amps and pedals with the new rack designer, offering a vast selection of knobs, backgrounds, faceplates, and handles. (over 200 000 styles available).
- Assign specific colors to each pedal/plug-in (also visible on the EZ View footswitches).
- Simplified macro control editing, featuring drag-and-drop reordering, file-based load/save assignments, and copy/paste functionality.
- Each Axiom preset now forms a complete rig with multiple pedals and easily controllable macro parameters for the EZ view.
- New built-in input mute control (no need for a plug-in anymore).

Direct to Disk Recording & Playback
- One-click recording of the application's output to a file.
- Seamlessly play over backing tracks with the new built-in audio player, supporting wav, mp3, and flac formats.
- Drag and drop audio files directly into plug-in slots to open the audio player.

Improved DSP Engine for More Realistic Tones
- Incorporates the Destructor 2.0 non-linear processing engine, featuring enhanced simulations, new filters, and precise control over drive parameter behavior.
- Complete redesign of all guitar and bass amps or pedal models based on the new Destructor V2 engine.
- Brand new high gain guitar tones, rebuilt from the ground up.
- Adjusted EQ frequencies and bandwidth for all guitar and bass amps to emulate real world amps behavior.
- Select amps and pedals EQ position in the signal chain (before or after distortion), and simulate a wider range of gear.
- Access a multitude of new effects, including over 100 shortcuts to built-in effects and presets.
- Plug-ins oversampling now available, reducing aliasing (up to 16x). Warning: some third party plug-ins may not support higher sampling rates properly.

Tailored for Acoustic Guitars and Piezo Pickups
- Includes Re-Guitar 1.3 with piezo input support.
- New factory presets for acoustic guitars and piezo-equipped electric guitars.
- New amp and preamp models for acoustic guitars.

Enhanced MIDI control
- New EZ View pedalboard footswitches that automatically map to loaded plug-ins in order, regardless of the slots used.
- New BASS, MID, TREBLE controls for Destructor EQ following whichever EQ is selected (Pre or Post)
- Axiom can now use its own parameters in macro controls, mixed together with loaded plug-ins parameters.
- Synchronize multiple MIDI controllers: when "all channels" (0) is used for MIDI input control and "send MIDI events when parameters values change" is active, the plug-in now sends MIDI events to all other channels to update other controllers.
- Locking MIDI control in Axiom (preventing MIDI control settings to be changed when loading presets) now also preserves MIDI control locks for the amps when set.

Other New Features and Improvements
- Improved graphical user interface performance, particularly on Mac.
Enhanced resampling when the plug-in starts streaming audio as a network server with Connector.
- Several undo/redo issues resolved.
- Macro LEARN mode is now disabled automatically when the Params Map Editor is closed.
- AAX plug-in now reports the recording status to hosted plug-ins (in recent versions of Pro Tools that support it).
- Updated parameters layout for GUI-less plug-ins, accommodating those with multiple parameters.
- GUI-less plug-ins generic editor now follows Axiom's zoom level.
- Reduced plug-in loading time.
- Fixed a crash when opening the editor of a VST2 GUI-less plug-in that uses non-unicode encoding in its parameters (piz-midi plug-ins).
- Fixed plug-in slot menu issues when loading plug-ins with over 22380 parameters on Windows.
Ableton Live 11: Fixed VST3 MIDI input not detected.
- Fixed stuck notes with some VST3 instruments.
- Fixed some VST3 instruments producing no sound (e.g. Toontrack instruments).
- Fixed VST plug-in version crash upon load when user default preset uses an impulse response in the amp simulator.
- Fully compatible with Axiom V1.
