FM3 General Discussion Thread

[skategeezer]

The link on page 17 https://www.fractalaudio.com/fas-bg is dead just FYI.
Also https://www.fractalaudio.com/fas-ffg
They both lead to the home page. Possibly they aren't done yet? I haven't seen these anywhere else in my limited travels around here.

Edit: I was able to find them on the FM3 page easy enough if anyone else is looking for them.

I bet they are just uploading new versions........

Congratulations FAS you guys must be feeling really good to finally be here!

Matt, on p 51 it says the Default Scene is the one loaded when the preset was last saved. But on p 90 under Global Settings it has both "As Saved" and the option to save as Scene 1-8. I assume that's the correct option and p 51 is erroneous? Thanks!

PS: Please disregard any previous statements by Greg G. A lot of things changed since his departure.

I'm guessing that also contributed a bit to the delay in release?

Congrats on finally being ready to ship.

It has to be set to something, and that something is “As saved” so page 51 is correct when default setup settings are used. It’s the same as the Axe3. Those aren’t 2 different things.

Oh, got it. I know we discussed the default scene options in another thread, but I didn't think about p 51 meaning "this is the default setting [for the default setting]" ;-)

My AX-8 just started crying. Does that mean I get an invite in the next few days? (April 23 2:25 PM)

 

[MrCrossroads83]

Oh yeah

 

[Tones2]

Does anyone know the time that the actual initial official FM3 waitlist was opened? I know it was on April 23, 2019 but wasn't sure of the time. I think it was around 12 NOON EDT maybe?

Good luck guys! Hopefully in the morning, everything turns out well and invites go out according to plan

Ventilation: Onboard fan with side and bottom venting. WARNING: Do not block vent holes!

Huh, a copy/paste mistake I guess? Or will FM3 drink beer spilled on the stage?

Once more I'd like to ask what does it mean that FM3 loads truncated version of UltraRes IRs. (Block Guide p. 20). The way it is formulated now is a bit worrying.

Relax and don’t worry.

Sounds cool, but dragging the bank onto the 'view' magnifier isn't working here. Am I doing it wrong?

FracTool 3.43 fixes that, you can now explore the FM3 banks (and even convert them to AxeFx III) but be aware the Amp block parameters are wrong until someone with a FM3 sends me the parameters definitions file (obtained from FracTool with a FM3)

How is everyone else dealing with the anticipation after this exciting news?
All I can do right now while I wait is twiddle my thumbs and pretend I can actually create presets in FM3 edit.

Not sure if that info would tell you anything...
Don't forget that people from the AX8 waitlist were ported to the FM3 waitlist, so the waitlist has started months before FM3 was announced.
Also - No idea how long the waitlist is (What we do know is that it's humongous) or how many units Fractal can send in a day... I think some people are so eager for FM3 to start shipping, they even sold their current hardware, because they expect to get the invitation letter any day now, and they don't realize theirs might come in, like, half a year or so...

Did anyone ask G66 yet when they expect units for their waitlist?

 

[Diego]

Soon

 

[chris]

I’m always puzzled why people think “normal” quality, or unbalanced cables, or anything less that stellar-absolutely-highest-possible-setting will sound like this

@Admin M@

Time to update the FAS Timeline?

Yes, I did this morning :-D

They hope to get a few units in February and March but that is just hoping....maybe G66-customers will get their units with a second batch when the customers on US and canada waitlist got their FM 3.
