Recording and Performance (NEW!)
Tighten Up Song Transitions, Live Performances and Studio Mixes
Whether you’re an aspiring guitarist or an experienced pro, BIAS FX 2 makes it easier than ever to create instant song transitions, mind-blowing FX changes and ear-catching mixes—in the studio and onstage.
Introducing Scene — One Click Changes Your Pedalboard
Each preset in BIAS FX 2 has four “scenario” settings you can create and save, so you can recall multiple distinct but closely related pedalboard scenes. With one click, you can simultaneously turn overdrive and delay on for your lead solo and turn off the chorus effect you used on the song’s verse—all while preserving the rest of the preset’s settings. Or, instantly switch from one pedalboard setup to another—each with completely different EQ, reverb and other settings—for different song sections.
Redesigned Workflow for Easier, More Productive Recording Sessions
The redesigned user interface includes a new preset manager that makes it easy to organize and rapidly search, recall and preview your favourite pedalboard setups. Take a custom snapshot of each of your custom pedalboard setups, then switch instantly among them on the fly to A/B which is best for your current song. Or use the snapshots to instantly re-amp when switching from a crunchy rhythm guitar part to a soaring lead solo and back again.
Use MIDI Automation To Turbocharge And Streamline Complex Mixes
BIAS FX 2’s powerful MIDI features let you make startling, instantaneous mix changes and fluid, morphing transitions that captivate your fans, by automating parameter changes for each section of your song—while also shaving hours of work off your project. With BIAS FX 2, you can assign MIDI commands to virtually every parameter available, including volume control, individual effects parameters, guitar-emulation selection, Looper functions and more.
Create Unique Hybrid Amps and Sweeping Stereo Amp Setups
In BIAS FX 2, the amps you play through are limited only by your imagination. Use Dual Amp setup to cherry-pick parts from two separate amps—their impulse responses, cabs, EQs, even the mics they use—and combine them to create a one-of-a-kind hybrid amp nobody else has. Or keep the amps as they were, route them parallel to one another and hard pan them to create a Freightliner-wide stereo setup with totally different guitar tones in left and right channels.
Smart Recorder/Looper — Preserves Fleeting Ideas Before They’re Lost
Quickly record ideas for riffs, vamps and songs with a simple click when inspiration strikes, using BIAS FX 2’s built-in recorder. Then loop your recording while you play it back through BIAS FX 2’s foot pedals, amps and rack FX, fine-tuning the perfect custom preset to use with your new song idea. You’ll never lose that perfectly played riff—simply export it as a WAV file to import into a new track in your DAW. With BIAS FX 2, song ideas recorded in the looper can be used as the foundation for a new multitrack recording.

На нашем сайте отображены товары, которые автоматически импортируются с сайта allegro.pl и переводятся на русский язык.
Так как мы не являемся продавцами товара, который отображен на нашем сайте, мы не можем обладать всей информацией о том или ином товаре. Дополнительную информацию о товарах можно узнать несколькими способами:
1. Подробно ознакомиться с описанием. Обычно вся необходимая информация находится в официальном описании на странице лота.
2. Если интересующей вас информации в описании не оказалось, можно задать вопрос напрямую продавцу. Он ответит вам в течение одного рабочего дня.
3. Если вы обладаете богатым опытом серфинга в интернете, возможно, вы сможете найти информацию о данном товаре на различных форумах и других интернет-ресурсах, воспользовавшись глобальными службами интернет-поиска.
4. Если вы не владеете языком или не желаете уточнить информацию по какой-либо другой причине, пожалуйста, обращайтесь к нам — мы с радостью вам поможем. Для того, чтобы мы задали вопрос продавцу, оформите заказ и в комментариях к товару пропишите интересующие вопросы. В течении дня мы сделаем запрос продавцу, комментарии появятся в личном кабинете.
Точный вес товара становится известным, только когда товар поступает на склад. Узнать примерный вес товара можно характеристиках товара, но не все продавцы его пишут.
Избежать некачественного товара можно путем тщательного отбора продавцов, т.е. старайтесь не гнаться за дешевыми товарами, которые продаются у продавцов с низким рейтингом. Доверяйте только проверенным интернет-магазинам. Если вы покупаете товар и сомневаетесь в надёжности продавца, то лучше заказать дополнительные фотографии.
1.Ищите по ключевым словам, уточняйте по каталогу слева
Допустим, вы хотите найти фару для AUDI, но поисковик выдает много результатов, тогда нужно будет в поисковую строку ввести точную марку автомобиля, потом в списке категорий, который находится слева, выберите новую категорию (Автозапчасти — Запчасти для легковых авто – Освещение- Фары передние фары). После, из предъявленного списка нужно выбрать нужный лот.
2. Сократите запрос
Например, вам понадобилось найти переднее правое крыло на KIA Sportage 2015 года, не пишите в поисковой строке полное наименование, а напишите крыло KIA Sportage 15 . Поисковая система скажет «спасибо» за короткий четкий вопрос, который можно редактировать с учетом выданных поисковиком результатов.
3. Используйте аналогичные сочетания слов и синонимы
Система сможет не понять какое-либо сочетание слов и перевести его неправильно. Например, у запроса «стол для компьютера» более 700 лотов, тогда как у запроса «компьютерный стол» всего 10.
4. Не допускайте ошибок в названиях, используйтевсегдаоригинальное наименованиепродукта
Если вы, например, ищете стекло на ваш смартфон, нужно забивать «стекло на xiaomi redmi 4 pro», а не «стекло на сяоми редми 4 про».
5. Сокращения и аббревиатуры пишите по-английски
Если приводить пример, то словосочетание «ступица бмв е65» выдаст отсутствие результатов из-за того, что в e65 буква е русская. Система этого не понимает. Чтобы автоматика распознала ваш запрос, нужно ввести то же самое, но на английском — «ступица BMW e65».
6. Мало результатов? Ищите не только в названии объявления, но и в описании!
Не все продавцы пишут в названии объявления нужные параметры для поиска, поэтому воспользуйтесь функцией поиска в описании объявления! Например, вы ищите турбину и знаете ее номер «711006-9004S», вставьте в поисковую строку номер, выберете галочкой “искать в описании” — система выдаст намного больше результатов!
7. Смело ищите на польском, если знаете название нужной вещи на этом языке
Вы также можете попробовать использовать Яндекс или Google переводчики для этих целей. Помните, что если возникли неразрешимые проблемы с поиском, вы всегда можете обратиться к нам за помощью.

No Support Fx Doesn’t work
Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2023
I have spent over $1,000 on a Spark Amp, Mini 300w guitar amp and now the Riff. The Riff gives some control to the amp, but I also bought around $100.00 on Fx2 software. After I install it there is «NO Shortcut» which makes the software useless. Same thing happens on the free fx software. When I contact support, all they do is route me to a forum. I also have a Kemper which is flawless. I am very dissatisfied with customer support especially considering spending over $1,000 on their products. On their website popups come up showing a new purchase every few minutes.Positive Grid and Bias Fx needs to learn from Amazon who has excellent customer service on how to resolve issues.I would reccomend a different manufacturer as I’ve worked with many applications and have always had great customer support, but there is no support with this company that I spent alot of money on.

If you already have a USB Audio interface, Riff adds little, if fact, it adds less because you can only use it with a single guitar or bass. Most other USB audio interfaces provide anywhere from 2 to 16 inputs (costing more, of course, but providing better instructions, better software and real live customer support). Simply stated, this is not an intuitive product and it ended up working very differently on two different computers. You also have to constantly go back and forth between the Windows audio settings and match them to the included BIAS FX software settings — this is not done automatically.
Also the BIAS FX software that is provided with the RIFF promises loads of effects and amp models but is so stripped down to be largely useless and is actually a bait for you to upgrade to the full scale version of the software if you want anything other than the limited versions of the amps and effects. Oddly, while I was able to hear my guitar through my desktop speakers, the BIAS FX software never recognized a signal from the input (although I could adjust the output volume). The software is buggy.
In some regards, the combined RIFF and BIAS FX software, appears to be a windows / apple emulation of the SPARK 40 AMP (which I do have but have easily outgrown as a teaching tool). But the RIFF as a tool? IMHO it’s simply not worth it. The USB Audio interface from BandLab serves the same purpose and it’s cheaper This one is going back to Positive Grid.
All in, the RIFF isn’t ready for prime time. There are better options for not much more.

The RIFF hooks up to iOS devices w/o a problem. Microsoft for some reason won’t recognize it. Most likely due to an update(MS 1703). I heard it wiped out all of the USB drivers.(I’m saving up for a MAC. This is BS, not MS)

Model: BlackVine Customer Review of Free Product( What’s this? )
This is a great portable amp and interface. I plan to make an album using nothing but portable portable gear including field recordings,the OP-1 and this but the left a lot out here. It works just great and the app has enough amps and effects to absolutely make a song from but the marketing makes you think you’re getting the full version of Bias FX2 but you don’t. You get a limited version which you can then upgrade to if you’re rich or find that you need to record on the road like constantly. So that wasn’t cool. Bit will it affect my ability to use it? No. I can still get amazing tons from the built in amps and effects already there for free and I plan to see what I can do with these limitations when I record my album that’s made only with portable gear. Maybe I’ll like it enough to upgrade, we’ll see. It was still not cool to imply that users were getting the full version of Positive Drive especially at that high price point.
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 29, 2022
I bought the Riff and software package. The box does not contain any info on how to redeem the software. There is no «redeem code» anywhere in the package. I also read that the version of the software that was supposed to come with this package is limited. No response from Amazon or Positive Grid on this issue. It goes back to Amazon. I was able to use Riff as an interface and it was acceptable for a lower end item.

I love my Riff. When reading the negative reviews I can’t help but wonder if any of the people contacted positive grid. Everything promised is included. One example would be the 50k tones.. They are in the tone cloud. That yellow button at the top left of the plug ins UI. I blows my mind that people just right to complaining before entertaining the idea that they don’t quite understand the plug in that is brand new to them. And for sure it is a limited version of the software. That’s the industry norm. It helps them to make money so the can produce newer, and more amazing products like the OMNYSS add on.. it’s freaking awesome. Anyway.. if your seasoned you git it.. any new people to the Sim world, give it time.. there is a lot to learn but once it clicks.. u will never go back!

I received the RIFF a few days ago. I was a little surprised when I installed the BIAS FX 2 software that was included. The version you get is a VERY limited version with not a lot. This is the BIAS FX 2 LE version apparently. Nowhere in the ad does it state anything about a limited version or LE version. The ad goes in to say «access to 50,000 + tones». Thus is not the case at all. I guess you have access, but you uave to pay additional to have access. Very misleading as the standard BIAS FX 2 does yave access to 50,000 + tones. I am so disappointed with companies that use these types of sales tactics. I am so pissed about the misleading ad I haven’t even hooked up the RIFF yet. I will review that if/when I decide to hook it up.
