FM3 Firmware Version 12.0 public beta

Big dummy…I tried installing dynacabs first….you have to install fm3 edit, then firmware, then dynacabs….
I did the same thing. I received the error message that the file was too large! So, if you get this message, you may have loaded it in the incorrect order. I performed the correct order and it went flawlessly.
 
IMPORTANT: This update adds new DynaCab™ models to the FM3, bringing it in sync with the Axe-Fx III and FM9. To make room for these, the number of User Cab slots has been reduced from 1024 to 512. If you have any User Cabs stored in slots 513–1024, please back them up using FM3-Edit. Those slots will be removed, and any cabs in them will be permanently lost after the update.
That’s a clever idea, thanks! I’ve never used those empty cab slots before.
 
To be honest, I don't use IRs anymore either. It was just nice to have the IRs all together as option. I also prefer FW12!
Don't forget to change the description in Online Shop of FM3.
 
Possible bug:
After updating to this beta, the "Momentary" function of the "Control switch" footswitches does not seem to work anymore. I can see the "Control Switch 1 OFF" message flashing on the FM3 screen when releasing the footswitch, but I don't see the matching "ON" message when pushing the footswitch done.
"Latching" works fine though.

Solved: Reinstalling the firmware 12.0 beta fixed the problem.

Thanks FAS for all the continuous effort! Having recently dabbed in playing bass, I was looking forward to the new added features!
 
General comment for those installing. Make sure to clear the 'wrong dyne-cabs' message on the FM3 display with Exit before installing the new cab firmware or it won't install to the device.
 
At this point, I'm going to reinstall the firmware because once it installed and I have installed the new cab, I'm still getting the message. FM3 Edit 3 says it's on 12 - beta. Not sure what is going on.
 
FM3 Edit 1.07.13
Original FW 11
1. Installed FW 12 beta
2. Tried to install DynaCab bundle, but it never wrote to the device. Second try, Exited out of the Wrong DynaCab message on the device, and it did write to the device.
3. Got the wrong DynaCab message again.

Tried the whole process again, and getting 'Incorrect Dyna-Cab File Version. Just to confirm, I should be loading dyna_cabs_fm3_1p09.syx?

**EDIT. Went back and installed FW 11 and the associated Dynacab file. Redid the process with FW 12 and working.

I still do not know why anyone would want anything but Fractal Audio when chosing a modeler. I have had mine for over 4 years. I was blown away when I purchased it. Inspiration, creativity through the roof! The beauty in Fractal is that they are always trying to improve on their existing products FOR FREE and not quick to release a new product every few years. Forum and support are off the charts too! Forever a Fractal family member. Thank you!
 
It so happened that most of my presets use IR from 512+ section of User Cab section. For no reason, I just decided to do so.
I need to move them to -512 section and re-map, but first I need to get the current mapping for many presets I've built over the years.
Shall I try FracTool or something to build the list?
Sorry, I'll try again, maybe someone knows the solution to quickly build the list of IRs in my presets
 
OMG Layouts seem to have been wiped out. Left with just a Layout 9 Master Layout.

* Edit, I recognize not it was because I reloaded 11.
