FM3 Firmware Version 9.02 public beta 3 is now available for download:
https://www.fractalaudio.com/downloads/firmware-presets/fm3/9p0/fm3_dsp_rel_9p02_public_beta_3.zip

An updated version of FM3-Edit is required for use with this release:
https://forum.fractalaudio.com/threads/fm3-edit-1-07-06-to-support-fw-9-02-public-beta-3.211039/

A Dyna-Cab update is required if updating from an FM3 firmware version prior to 9.00 Beta 1.
The required Dyna-Cab file is included in the 'zip' file for this release.
If you are upgrading from version 8.00 or older, please follow the instructions in the Firmware Update guide PDF that is included to install the firmware and Dyna-Cabs. If you are updating from 9.00 beta 1 or higher, Dyna-Cabs do not need to be reinstalled.
When fM3 version 9.02 release? It know something? THANKS

They're coding as quick as they can. If it was easy, everyone would do it.
 
NEW FEATURES & UPDATES

DRIVE BLOCK UPDATES


•Improved PI Fuzz model. The new model also allows changing the type and quantity of diodes used in the transistor feedback paths, adds a “Wicker” switch which removes the feedback capacitors and adds a “Tone” switch which allows bypassing the tone circuitry.
•Added PI Fuzz – Triangle model. This is based on a 1971 “Triangle” Big Muff PI. Thie model also includes the Tone Wicker mods.
•Added PI Fuzz – Ram’s Head model. This is based on mid-70’s “Ram’s Head” Big Muff PI. The model also includes the Tone Wicker mods.
•Added PI Fuzz – Russian model. This is based on a Sovtek produced “Civil War” Big Muff PI. The model also includes the Tone Wicker mods.
•Added Colortone Booster model based on a Colorsound Power Booster (with added Master control).
•Added Colortone OD model based on a Colorsound Overdriver (with added Master control).
•Added MOSFET Distortion model based on an Ibanez MT10 Mostortion.
•Added Super Fuzz model based on a Univox Superfuzz. The model also features a tone control which allows varying the frequency of the notch. Use the Bias control to simulate the “Octave” control found on some clones.
•Added Integral Pre type to the Drive block. This is based on a TC Electronics Integrated Preamp
•Updated DS1 Distortion model to Second Edition specs.
•Improved Tube Drive 4-Knob model. If you are using this model in a preset a soft reset of the block is recommended to load the new default values.
•Added Tube Drive 5-Knob model.

PHASER BLOCK UPDATES

•New Vibe algorithm in Phaser block. The default values have changed for the Vibe models and existing presets are automatically updated to the new defaults. If you have edited the default values you may wish to audition your presets accordingly.
•Added “FO Mode to the Phaser block. When set to UNIVIBE the amplitude of the LFO is roughly proportional to the LFO Rate. When set to NORMAL the amplitude is constant. NORMAL allows deeper phasing at slow rates than would be possible with an actual Univibe.
•Added Low Cut and High Cut controls to Phaser block for the wet path.
•Added Modern Vibe model to Phaser block. This is based on a classic UniVibe but with modern input buffer and LFO.
•Changed Exponent to “VCR Shape” in Phaser block as this more accurately describes the control function.

OTHER BLOCK UPDATES

•Improved Filter block Touch-Wah detector behavior.
•Improved Sweep Delay algorithm in Delay block. Added selectable filter type.
•Improved Quad Diffusor algorithm in Multitap Delay block. The new algorithm now has stereo output with adjustable spread and LFO controlled filters.
•Exposed Algorithm type in Multitap Delay block. This allows changing the underlying algorithm without changing the various parameters. This can be used to experiment with different algorithms without losing parameter settings as occurs when changing the Type.
•Added Ducking control to Tremolo block. This reduces the intensity of the effect as you play louder.

FIXES

•Improved active sensing pedal controllers for auto-engage modifiers. Active sensing is more sensitive now.
•Corrected internal pedal jacks configured as switches being ignored due to active sensing update.
•Various general CPU use improvements.
•Fixed resistor mistakenly attached across drive pot on Plexi 2204 model.
•Fixed Phaser block LFO Reset now working properly for some types.
•Fixed wrong Miller capacitance value in Brit 800 models (probably not audible).
•Fixed CPU Limit warning remaining on-screen in some cases after resolved.
•Pedal inputs configured as switch inputs are no longer affected by activity sensing at startup.
Gapless switching is gone :(
 
Where do you see that the Gapless switching is gone? That feature was added a couple of updates ago, If memory serves. The updates above are about NEW stuff they're working on, not a complete feature list. I would be shocked, and consider it a bug, if gapless switching was removed from this release.
 
Hmmm - now I want to install the very latest FM9 Beta with all those lovely revised Factory Presets into my FM3T ...

... oh, wait ... :smirk:
