Release Notes:
  • Added support for FM3-Edit Scene Manager.
  • Fix interaction of Global Scales with the FM3-Edit.
  • USB “DI” recording levels corrected.
  • Looper “Undo” now works as it does on the Axe-Fx III.
  • Preset storing is now faster.
  • Knob D on the HOME screen now changes the “FC View” within the current layout of the FM3.
  • When Tuner is assigned as a hold function, you can now exit the Tuner with a single tap.
  • The following blocks have been updated with changes from their counterparts on the Axe-Fx-III: Chorus, Compressor, Drive, Enhancer, Filter, Flanger, Formant, Gate, Graphic EQ, Input, Send, Return, Looper, Megatap, Phaser. The features and CPU usage of these blocks may have changed, and any presets that contain them should be checked.
  • Output2 Global EQ feature added to SETUP: Global Settings.
  • When using the “Output 2 Copy” feature (in SETUP: I/O) the options “INPUT 1” and “OUTPUT 1” now produce increased level at Out 2 to better match the level at Out 1 without.
  • FC: Stand-in switches now help prevent false triggering if no switch is plugged in.
  • FC: Display now shows looper “Record 2nd Press” function (OVERDUB, PLAY, or STOP).
  • FC: Tap tempo now works across all Views.
  • FC: “View” functions are now available when creating per-preset switches.
  • FC: Tap tempo now works when using a stand-in switch.
  • FC: “View Inc” and “View Dec” mini-LCD now works when when "Destination #" is selected.
  • FC: The MLM and certain View functions now work as intended on a connected FC-6.
  • FC: The main LCD will now display the correct first preset in the bank if the Global Setting for "Display Offset" is set to '1.'

A compatible version of FM3-Edit will be available momentarily.
 
Thanks so much - I have been looking forward to this firmware update (updating the blocks to match the Axe- FX III).
 
I didn't get the FM3 yet - but this is much appreciated:
Output2 Global EQ feature added to SETUP: Global Settings.

Will fire my active wedge with Output2 as I'm doing now with AXE FX II
 
A short note on what's next: a few more remaining block updates from the Axe-Fx III will be ported to the FM3 and released in the next update (1.03). Once this is done, a new version of the FM3 Factory Presets will be released.

A new version of FM3 Edit is available now, and watch for the "OMG9" footswitch layouts this Thursday.

Grazie Matt <3
 
I had a question
to Bryant or Matt
is the amp block itself at the same version as the AX3 as of this update?
or is there still other things under the hood that have to still be ported
 
Could you comment on the CAB block, are we ultra Res now, or can we adjust IR length now ?
 
What was changed made a big difference for me in the bassiness I was hearing in the drive block. Now my FM3 patch sounds a lot more like the AXE3 version.
 
The AMP block is slightly behind the Axe-Fx III in 1.02. The next release of the FM3 should see it at the same version.

thanks so much for answering this
probably pushing my luck as I am sure you have a million things to do
any chance of the Mesa crowns in
1.03 when it comes out

thanks again
