Longest time between updates for the FM3...is this it?

[Tremonti]

I know that the III and FM9 treatment is coming. Just curious if this was longest space between updates for the FM3? Last was mid August.

Sooooon

Been that long? Damn. Where does the time go….

Nope. That's only six months. Firmware 5.00 was released after an eight-month hiatus.

I'm afraid we're getting close the release of a new product...

FM3 MKIII Bi-Turbo incoming

Yes, the FM9 mkII Turbo is coming soon.

I've had modelers that never got updated.

BTW-you can easily view the FW release thread and track the announcement dates.

Maybe one more update and then it’s gonna be difficult to do more on the actual fm3

 

[steveforward]

no new products for a long time methinks. but, hold onto your hats, I have a feeling when firmware v8.00 drops it's gonna be like Humpty Dumpty crashing down. No one is gonna know what hit them.. no yolk!

And you are basing this on what?

You know how the FM3 is kinda small? Can't fit many more amps or effects in there, it's already pretty full.

Speculating is fun but people have been foretelling the imminent demise of the 3 probably since Cygnus. So to answer my question your post is based on your speculation.
Just wondered if I'd missed an official announcement but apparently not.

EDIT: I erroneously responded to @Aleksi making fun of the speculation! Nice post!

I seriously doubt either of these statements is true...

I'm not the poster who posted the post you quoted in you post, the poster who posted the post you quoted in your post was Joshua_L.

My post was simply making fun of the baseless speculation.

Touche' and my apologies!

Gold star for you!

Thanks! However, I speculate that the FM3 is on it's last legs, they will abandon the latest update because they just can't be bothered to finish it and a new, much more powerful product will be coming out S O O N and it will cost less than the FM3 and everyone will make fun of us FM3 owners.

If it wasn't practically possible to bring gapless to FM3, that would be one thing.

But gapless is the first feature that could possibly disincentivize someone from getting FM9 over FM3.

I doubt Fractal would intentionally withhold a feature from FM3 for business reasons (I've seen no history of this).

Just a thought.

I would imagine that they also want to sell as many FM3's as they can.

Ok but the real problem about this, is when you own both axe 3 and fm3, and cannot put your axe 3 presets in the fm3…… that’s something they need to fix in the future. To me, All the products need to have the firmware the same day
