Bluetooth
Fractal Remote · last updated 10 November 2026
Bluetooth is in the app, from version 1.89.0. With a Bluetooth MIDI adapter plugged into your unit’s MIDI jacks, the app controls it with no computer. It is part of the full version, under Settings → My rig → Bluetooth. Get the app from the App Store or Google Play.
Bluetooth needs no computer, just an adapter on your unit, sold separately. A computer has less lag and more features.
What it does
Presets, scenes, effects on and off, channels, tempo and the tuner (on a VP4, presets and scenes). From version 1.90.0 of the app, Edit opens over Bluetooth on an AM4, FM3, FM9 or Axe-Fx III too: turn knobs, change models and switch blocks on and off. Changes play right away; to keep one, save it on the unit itself. No saving over Bluetooth: for saving, moving blocks and renaming, use the desktop app, on any unit but the VP4, which the app doesn’t edit or save either way.
Which units
It is offered on the AM4, FM3, FM9, Axe-Fx III and VP4.
On an FM3, use the CME U2MIDI Pro, never the C2MIDI Pro or a WIDI Master: both got very hot on one.
USB cable
An AM4 can also plug straight into your iPhone or iPad with a USB cable: no computer and no adapter, with the same features as Bluetooth, Edit included. Plug it in, then Settings → My rig → Bluetooth. The FM3 can’t plug in this way, because its USB port isn’t MIDI.
Setting it up
The Bluetooth setup guide says what to buy for your unit, how it plugs in, and what to try when it doesn’t connect. The parts are sold separately, by other companies.
