The use of a common engine between the AFIII and the FM3 was one of the most interesting features of the FM3 for me. I expected to quickly share presets between my live and studio setups. I have spent a couple of months creating presets with the FM3 at the rehearsal room to the point of feeling comfortable enough to gig with it. I then imported those presets into the AFIII and they where completely off. I'll say in advance it was not a matter of the listening setup nor volume. It was really a very, very, very different sound, with lots of undesirable bass and treble.
I realized that the preset was not ported correctly into the AFIII. Specifically, the low and high cuts in the Tone section of the Drive block I specified in FM3 edit, were reset in the AFIII to 0 and 20KHz. Inspecting the original exported .syx file with FracTool showed the parameters where still there. Once I tuned those, things where much better. There was a drift, but it was minor and maybe due to IR length or whatever other advanced parameters that did not make it to the FM3.
So... is there currently a bug into the way files are exported/imported between FM3 and AFIII? If not, how far can we expect both devices to be aligned when the FM3 ramps up?
