Download Fractal Remote

Control your Fractal rig from across the room — scenes, presets, tempo and the tuner.

Looking for the current build…

What you need

• A Fractal unit — FM3, FM9, Axe-Fx III or AM4, or a VP4 in part. On a VP4, the app turns effects on and off, changes presets, and changes scenes once you set one number on the VP4 itself. It changes presets and scenes with the same MIDI messages a foot controller sends. Knobs, the tuner, tap tempo, channels and saving don’t work on a VP4 from the app yet. The app can’t show the names of a VP4’s presets, except the one it is on, or whether its effects are on or off, yet. On a VP4, Previous and Next go through a setlist or your starred presets, not slot by slot.
• A USB cable from the unit to this computer. That is the only wire.

Setting up a Raspberry Pi?

• Step-by-step setup: which Pi to get, what to buy, and every step from the memory card to the pedalboard, from a Mac, a Windows PC, a Linux computer, or a TV and keyboard plugged into the Pi.

Want it on your phone too?

• The computer app holds the cable; the phone drives it from a stage. iPhone and iPad are on the App Store, and Android is on Google Play.
• Sign in with the same account on both, and that is the pairing done.

Not ready to install anything?

• Open the app in this browser and try the demo — a simulated FM3, FM9, Axe-Fx III, AM4 or VP4, with the real factory presets on it. No unit needed and nothing to install. The simulated VP4 does more than the app can do on a real one yet, and says which parts.
