FM9 Firmware Version 4.01 public beta 2

Played through two church services with the beta 2 firmware and no issues. The new large fonts are so nice in the live environment. No more squinting to see what preset is in use. I did notice just a tiny bit of lag when switching between presets but that may have just been an oddity. Otherwise...

Gift of Tone #22 - JOHN PETRUCCI

That fixed it. Thank you! Just curious what would be the best way to use it in series? Is there an ideal mix rate in series for a block that is setup to be used in parallel?

Gift of Tone #22 - JOHN PETRUCCI

When I load any of the JP delays to one of my regular presets, it is not playing the initial note when I hit a string. It is only playing back the repeat notes. Also, when I turn off the delay there is no sound coming from the preset at all. I'm using a really simple preset and when I put any...

Gift of Tone #23 - ALEX LIFESON

Seriously this is just unreal at this point, getting presets from the best of the best, Collen, Vai, Petrucci, Lifeson etc?!? FAS might start getting calls from our spouses about how they can't get us off our guitars long enough to spend time with the family this holiday season! :cool: :guitar:

Quick thanks for the Gift of tone goodness!

Just wanted to give a quick shout out to the Fractal team, community, and artists who have been contributing to the Gift of Tone! It is super cool that you guys are sharing all these awesome presets. I'm personally hoping 🤞that Phil Collen will share a preset from the Hysteria album but that may...

FM9 Firmware Version 4.00 public beta 2

I've had a couple of oddities this past week with the 4b1 and 4b2 FW. After a fresh boot up, I had no sound coming out of my FM9 through Output 1. The night before it was working fine. I was running my PRS CU24 guitar along with my laptop via USB for a backing track. I rebooted the system and...

FM9 Firmware Version 4.00 public beta 1

Fantastic! I watched Cooper's video early showing the differences between the two Cygnus's and it's a very noticeable to me. Excited about the improved clean up when rolling off the volume, and the clarity in the low-end. Thanks Fractal team for getting this to the FM9 platform so quickly!

Where is this so-called "virtual capo" I have heard about?

Correct, there is just one pitch block so either do the virtual capo or harmonize. Can't do both yet, but many of us have our fingers crossed for the future. Tracking adjustments can help with VC latency. I've found with the current firmware that the VC works quite well.

Announcing FM9 Turbo

I think it's a cool move for those who had to wait. I'm super happy with my FM9 and I'm really looking forward to seeing more of these in the hands of other players. If at some point a new version is created that allows for a second pitch block, the larger LCD displays for the foot switches, and...
