This one sucks for me... big time!... Removed “Diffusion” parameters from the Delay blocks due to CPU constraints.

This enabled me to setup one of the Delay blocks as a (very low CPU) Reverb stand-in. Removing that ability may put most of my presets out of reach in the FM3:(

I've been porting over some presets this week and was surprised how many were (barely) fitting with some creative thinking. But this will really change that.

@BryantP Any chance that there is another way around this? Maybe only remove that parameter from Delay block 1? Or slightly lower the Delay block resolution, or total available time, or something? Or add a new Delay model type (Faux Verb? Delay/Verb? Moke/Verb?..lol), optimized for that purpose, with other unnecessary(?) parameters removed?

OK I'll ask the dumb question. Are these "new" factory presets for newest version of 106 Beta, IOW, beta 3. or just a reminder that 106 has new presets?
Thanks

Sorry, @Moke. We'll definitely look at other options for the future but something had to be sacrificed to alleviate current issues. Like I've said before, the FM3 is built on a powerful platform but it's just not as powerful as the Axe-Fx III. Striking a balance is a process.

Understood. This will likely wreck many of my presets that have already been purchased, and end the possibility of adding many more (the sole reason for purchasing the FM3). I just started seriously porting over about 30 presets this week (took the week off from work). This will make all of that for nothing again.. Starting and stopping (free) preset updates is becoming a full time job.

Answering emails and issuing refunds will be keeping me busy too...:confused:
 
While unfortunate, the diffusion change is not a problem. It's a solution. At least for now.

Thanks for the continued work to get this thing running smoother! I'm sure if there is a workaround later, you guys will figure it out.
