FM3 Firmware 1.06 Public Beta 2

Please note that this is a beta release. Before installing a beta release it is recommended you do a full backup of your presets, user cabs, and system configuration using Fractal-Bot. We welcome and encourage feedback.

This will fix the issue introduced in 1.06 beta 1 that prevented some modifiers on the amp and delay blocks from working.

Please install the NEW FACTORY PRESETS designed for firmware 1.06. Find them below:

Thank you @BryantP! I am new here, but that support is outstanding!! ...Of course, as many of us, I hope that somewhen soon we'll get the AX updates like the new drives and spkr compression, etc for the FM3 as well (a wish, not a complaint!). You guys rock!!
 
@BryantP Thanks for the update! If I had installed the Beta 1 last night with the new presets, would you advise just updating to Beta2 AND reloading the new presets again or would I be okay just updating the firmware? Thanks.
 
I use Control Switch 4 to change 3 parameters as part of a solo boost (amp output level, amp input boost, and delay mix).

E.g.
1597949471785.png 1597949688996.png

None of the three modifiers seemed to work with either beta. Back to 1.5, working as expected. Otherwise I had no issues with the two betas.

Loaded and tested your preset with this latest Beta. Working as expected:
Delay mix goes to 11.5
Amp Input Boost activates
Amp Level goes up 2.9 dB

I double-checked with beta2. The input boost actually does seem to work and make an audible difference. The amp level and delay mix visually (e.g. in Edit) register the CS4 change, but the audio doesn't change. Same volume level (I double-checked with a sound meter, no change), and the mix seems on the 11% side (many repeats audible in both switch positions, no change). Thanks @Patzag for helping with the trouble-shooting!

i believe Balance, Level and Mix parameters in Amp and Delay blocks are not working with modifiers in PB2. all other parameters in those blocks seem to work with modifiers, unless i missed something.

Actually, on that preset, the Level controller is only assigned to Channel B. This renders the modifier useless when another channel is selected.
Scenes 1 and 3 are on Channel A, so the modifier is not active.

If you're not on the right channel, the level (amp) and Mix (Delay) will not be controlled by CS4. Ensure your scenes have these blocks on the right channel, or assign the modifier to ALL CHANNELS instead of Channel B only.
