Meaning you were using version 15.08 when you saved the preset.

I want to have t-shirt with Cliffs face on it.

So, if we go through each preset (ones imported prior to FW 15 and not changed since then, including all the FAS presets) and "resave" it, does make it compatible with FW5?

As I say;
Cliff is a man, who wants to find solutions!
That makes the difference between this and other companies.

Thanks FAS, thanks Cliff!
I'am glad to see, that there is a life behind BootROM limitations ;-)

Yes.

I am digging this firmware a lot, So glad Cliff was able to include us all in the firmware updates

We were going to get this update no matter what. At least from my basic understanding of the 4.01b thread.

Actually no. The new modeling stuff pushed it over the limit. The Mark I/II build ended up being several thousand words larger than would fit in the bootrom.

Thank you! Loading now.

Bravo Cliff! Happy MK I guy here.

Drive models have been rematched:

What's the difference between this and just...

Improved diode clipping algorithms in Drive block

?
Is the re matching where the

have been dramatically improved

comes from?

Radically different is right. There's definitely something wrong with the IIC++ model. I wouldn't say upper mids though, more like low mids/"mid" mids. When you select Latest, the amp model gets a lot darker and really raunchy sounding. It also gets a lot louder.

Oh well, guess I'll roll back to 4.01 beta until Cliff (hopefully) posts a bug fix.

Which amps still need to be adjusted with firmware? Some of the amps like the Hook sound even more amazing with this update, but others sounded a little off when I select current. I will probably just wait for the final release before I tweak any patches.

So this is bad.

Yeah sounds like a fix that just enabled Mark I, Mark II users to get one more update. Hopefully they can continue to remove old patch backwards compatibility up to Quantum 3 or something as needed since we don't need that ability, we can just go though our patches and re-save them to current before upgrading to the new firmware.

MkII Compatible . I <heart> U, Cliff.

If there wasn't enough space, how'd you manage to make it work?

As per release notes: code allowing backward compatibility for presets created on FW 15.08 or earlier is dropped.

Q5 in favor of not loading presets from a firmware created well over two years ago? That trade off is a no brainer. Thanks for the extra effort FAS!

Yeah sounds like a fix that just enabled Mark I, Mark II users to get one more update.

It fully depends on how much memory it freed and the size of the next update. Depending on how the code is updated some code changes do not increase in size much, if at all, and in some cases can theoretically make a program shorter/smaller (although the trend is inevitably up).

Regardless, it is deeply appreciated by this old skool Mk2 guy.

 

[Tahoebrian5]

Sounds like significant effort was required to keep mark 1/2 boxes in the loop for Q5.

CAPT HOOK 1A is much better than Peter Pan !!!

Wow!! Q5.00 If absolutely incredible!! Just now loaded it(well an hour and a half ago, now I'm late for work)

Thanks for the clarity. Simple misunderstanding.

I lucked out and timed my vacation with this release.

Recto 1 seems to really have come to life too. Could be my imagination...but it seems less plastic-y ...and really responsive.
