FM3 Firmware Version 12.0

This is truth. My full step down patch is better than ever. The tonal difference between on and bypassed for the same chord is negligible (please do note my self-admitted tin ears and take this with a grain of salt). Thanks FAS!

Can you please explain how you use it? I tried it last night (never having used it before, because of the glitchyness of it) - I tried having it first and last in the chain, and it sound weird, warbly and ... artificial?

Try turning up your volume for a moment and see if it goes away. It's surprising how loud guitar strings are. I'm betting you're hearing them blending in with your altered pitch.

Just installed and tried it. Sound feels more "alive" for the lack of better words... the sound thru the wedge monitor (PA speaker) sounds more like the sound coming thru my amp speaker (don't know yet if this is good for FOH or not). Pitch Shifter sounds more "solid" but not much of a big difference to me (I don't use Virtual Capo). Bass is tighter, easier to dial in and not as overwhelming and boomy.

Update all presets on hardware worked for me (around 10 minutes).

Same experience for you guys?

Funny... I had the same initial feeling of it's more "alive".

I guess I should clarify that I use it largely with distortion. That said, I just tried it on a clean patch, strumming the same chord with and without the virtual capo (a step away to get the identical chord) and they sound pretty damned identical. I use it immediately after the input block in chord mode.

The warble didn’t go anywhere

I’d say that it’s a bit better now - sometimes this warble used to have some random rhythm, now it’s somewhat more “natural” sounding, albeit often too fast to be natural.

In my experience, it depends on intervals you play (with VC set to -5 semitones E major with open strings sometimes sounds horrible, E minor in the same position can sound fine, go figure), and it gets much worse if/when guitar goes slightly out of tune.

Where you put it in the chain doesn’t appear to matter much, and neither does CPU usage or any other factors I tried to isolate. Seems to be a matter of pure chance.

I'm missing the Bass Response control on the advanced page of the BigMuff models in firmware 12. I used it a lot to tweak the BigMuff sound and found it very useful in combination with the LowCut control. Does anyone know why it was removed?

What firmware did you update from?

There's nothing in the release notes regarding a change like this.

I haven't updated yet so I can't confirm.

Do you have the latest editor and did you run Refresh After New Firmware?
 
Hi all,

I would like to use the metronome function via midi remote. I set it to CC110. In general it works but I can only toggle the on/off state of the metronome.
Is there any way to enable/disable the metronome by sending specific value?
 
Hi everyone, I updated my FM3 (not Turbo) and I ran into a problem installing Dynacabs. Fractal Bot says the Dynacabs in the RAR file aren't compatible with my machine. Has this happened to anyone else? How can I fix it?
 
I solved it.
For some strange reason, after updating to firmware 12 in Fractal Bot, it wouldn't let me install the Dynacabs. To fix the problem, I ran FM3 Edit and read all the blocks (the Dynacabs weren't being read in the CAB section). Then I closed FM3 Edit and tried again with Fractal Bot, and the program performed the update normally.
So, if this happens to anyone else, I've basically updated the firmware = run FM3 Edit with block reading = updated Dynacabs.
Thanks to the interceptor for his help.
