FM3 Firmware Version 11.0

I agree with this. If a bug is found in an official release a minor update to take care of the issue as soon as possible would be preferred rather than waiting a month or more for the next major release, or feature filled minor release. Of course, we have no idea how Fractal’s development occurs...

FM3 Firmware Version 11.0

Given the delay on getting an 11.1 update my guess is they are working on porting the latest AxeFX updates to the FM9 and FM3.

FM3 Firmware Version 10.0 public beta

There is no "last saved" option for the Layout. You can set the default layout in Setup > FC Controllers/Onboard Switches > Devices., or in FM3 Edit by selecting FC Edit > Devices.

FM3 Firmware Version 10.0 public beta

Well, that's not a great implementation IMO, but using Destination Name will suffice. Carry on.

I think it might be a bug with the beta. @m_brown @Admin M@ see post #491

FM3 Firmware Version 10.0 public beta

I tried setting my foot switches to toggle between scenes with the Mini-Display Label set to Current Name for each switch. I did this for all three switches, with the Tap function for switch one toggling between Scene 1 and 4, switch two toggling between Scene 2 and 5, and switch three toggling...

FM3 Firmware Version 10.0 public beta

That has been addressed several times in this thread. Check the input pad setting after installing the update. Some users report it has been reset to 6dB rather than 12dB. Change it to 12dB if it's at 6dB.

FM3 Firmware Version 10.0 public beta

I was hesitant, but it's all good. Several of my presets actually went down in CPU buy a few percentage points. The reverbs were the culprit in the ones that jumped up to 91%.

FM3 Firmware Version 10.0 public beta

This is true of the Turbo units as well. Several of my presets were at 91% after updating. I had to make adjustments to take advantage of as much of the new FW as I could. If I want to take FULL advantage, I'll have to get an FM9 or an AxeFXIII.

FM3 Factory Presets for Firmware 10.0

I'm use to presets being mostly useless, but I have to say, some of these presets are very impressive. Nice work FAS and contributors.

FM3 Firmware Version 9.02 public beta (3)

Yes, 9 weeks since the third beta. That does not change the fact that 9.02 has been in beta (beta 1, beta 2, and now beta 3) for almost 5 months. Sure, there has been a flurry of activity with the AxeIII. It's always been that way. I've been around here since 2009 and have owned multiple...

FM3 Firmware Version 9.02 public beta (3)

That is not correct. This is the 3rd beta release for version 9.02. Beta 1 was released Nov. 5, 2024. So, version 9.02 has been in beta for nearly 5 months. It's not unusual for FAS to go this long between official releases, but it is very unusual for a beta to go this long. They are obviously...

FM3 Firmware Version 9.02 public beta (3)

At this point, I think we're more likely to see version 10 beta than a final version of 9.02.
