For some reason, I'm getting CPU usage warnings flickering off and on despite being around 66% CPU. Also still on FM3 firmware 1.06, haven't installed the beta yet.

Edit: It became less frequent after a few minutes, and isn't actually muting the output

Hi Michael: Are the downloads for updated 1.02. editor for OSX/Mac in link above not working? Mine is hanging up and not downloading...

Can test once editor is available. As folks will find, the public 1.01 current editor is NOT gonna work with the new beta 2.0

My mac worked OK downloading the new update, one of the few things it did without issue
 
The CPU "warning" message is also wild flashing when FM3 edit 1.02 is connected to my FM3 v. 1.06 and using only factory presets.
 
Use the previous version of FM3-Edit when using firmware 1.06 and earlier.

I see this too on some of my presets the past week. Didn't think its a bug. I install the new FW today and see....
 
Working great so far! Had an issue with the preset names not showing sometimes, and needing to refresh, apparently fixed with this new one and new non-beta firmware
 
No problems with the downloads and installation. Still a great piece of gear and its kicking ass. Thank you.
