Fixie FREE gives BigSky MX and TimeLine MX owners a clearer way to manage the

presets already on their pedals.

Import individual native MX preset files or complete album folders, then

organize everything into a searchable Folder → Album → Preset library. Read

the pedal’s destination slots, save individual sounds, create backups, and

drag one preset at a time into the exact slot you want. Before an upload,

Fixie protects the destination with a recovery copy and verifies the completed

write.

Fixie FREE and FixieLIVE use the same library. If you upgrade later, your

folders, albums, presets, and organization stay exactly where you left them.

Fixie FREE is intentionally focused. It does not convert original-generation

TimeLine or BigSky files, batch-upload multiple presets, or provide live

parameter editing. Those tools are available in FixieLIVE.
