I got my Axe-FX III back in 2021. At the time, the presets were *fine*, but they were all a little underwhelming. So I bought 3rd party presets from places like AustinBuddy, Kaneshiro, Alex Maiers, etc. I use these presets all the time and never mess with the factory presets.

But over time, Fractal has sent up numerous firmware updates and have updated their factory presets a lot.

Is it worth it to load the newest presets and see if they've improved enough to be added back into my setlist? Are the current presets notably better than they were 5 years ago?

I have a Maschine Plus. I've upgraded to the 3.0 version. My understanding is that it should now allow me to import MP3s.

I put MP3s on the SD card, but on the Maschine it will only show me the WAV files, and does not display the MP3s.

Am I doing this wrong? What's the correct way to import MP3s into the Maschine+?

Looking for standalone only. I never use the 3.0 software on my laptop.
