I already backed up my FM3 in full as usual before updating. The new version of FM3/9 edit that I am installing for FW8Beta use would it work for FW7 if God forbid I had to roll back to FW7 for some reason or would I need to go and roll back FM3 Edit as well?
I do not anticipate ever having to do this but I would still like to know.
Thank you.

It should...
 
Minor issue found. FM3-Edit is showing "Bias Tremolo" settings on the Amp block. I was surprised and thought maybe it was snuck in there. However, adjusting them does nothing and menu diving on the physical FM3 reveals they are still not available.

Some small Bugs:
  • In the preset Leveling window Output 2 is showing a constant level of -4.5dB on all Presets even with no Signal is coming in!
  • The Reverb Block have controls in the Plate and Spring Verbs that ar not in the Hardware Parameter List and dont have an audible function.

Thank you for your hard work, i'm so happy to own this unit and have so much fun with it

Workaround:
When i put a unconnected Out2 Block in the Grid the displayed Level goes away. I can delete the Block and the Preset Leveling Display shows no signal anymore as it should.
Forgot to say: Setup - Audio - Output config Output 2 Copy setting is "Output 1"
 
Switching of the SICs with keyboard is not working properly in the Amp block.

Steps: Change "Auto DC Imp" to "Off", click "SIC", select any SIC from the list. Make sure the "SIC" if focused, press Up or Down buttons on the keyboard. Only a few pre-defined SICs will be available instead of all. Can be reproduced on any presets, factory or custom.
FM3 version is 1.06.08, RANF executed.
