Zap A Gap

[teddis]

Any heard anything on this coming to FM3.....a beta even ?

 

[Will Chen]

We're in a "maybe" moment. Unfortunately no amount of worrying about it will make it happen faster.

 

[teddis]

Not worried.....its just a question.

What is Zap a Gap?

Officially its a glue...

Looks like I picked the wrong day to "start" sniffing glue.

I went through gallons of the stuff back in the day when I was into building balsa model airplanes as a kid. Good memories. I should pick up a kit- it was very relaxing.

Praying this makes its way to the FM3. I gig the FM3 with gaps while my III is perched in my studio without gaps LOL.

I wouldn't expect them to start porting it to the other machines until they've finalized it and got it stable on the III, wait until it comes out of beta there then we'll hear something.

 

[teddis]

It is no longer beta ware.

 

[IronSean]

Hadn't seen that yet, sorry.

It's going to be a true challenge bringing gapless switching to the FM line, specially the FM3.

Cliff said he was hopeful and that he didn’t see any reason it wouldn’t.

Yes, but giving the current posts of the AFIII FW release being 10% more demanding in CPU even with gapless off.... that's where I'm coming from.

I’m in the same boat. Currently, the only way to get notified when new Axe firmware comes out is to subscribe to the entire Axe-Fx subforum, and I’m just not prepared for that much notification noise.

I suspect the CPU gain is not related to the gapless switching because we weren’t hearing reports of major changes in CPU when it was first introduced. We knew there should be a minor bump and the reports seemed to be in line with that.

Many other blocks were changed so they could have a problem or it could be cumulative. And, perhaps it’s because more people are trying the release version, or maybe people didn’t notice and mention it, but I think Cliff will figure it out if he gets presets that duplicate the problem.

I haven’t had a chance to load it and check but will in a few minutes.

I tested against v.22.01 and gapless switching adds about 1.5% CPU, which we were told to expect.

I saw another 2-4% that I still suspect is reverb and the other changes. Nothing I saw was close to 10%. Anyone who has a preset showing that big an increase should post it.
