1. I looked at my other preset yesterday. It is constantly oscillating between 83-85%. I've been playing it for 2 months and it never hangs like the preset I put yesterday (the one with model Friedman). This preset uses the Boutiqe 2 amp and is sound-stable at all times. So, maybe the problem lies in the Friedman HBE amplifier model code fragment?
2. It is almost impossible to track CPU usage on the FM3 screen in the Layout screen (for me). The numbers are tiny, you must kneel over the device to see what is going on there (or be young and have healthy eyes ?
). Perhaps there are red stripes displayed there, indicating that the border has been crossed - but I am not able to see them. Maybe it would be a better idea to have the ENTIRE bar (the one for CPU USage) displayed in orange / red when the preset starts to overflow some bounds (not just its right edge, while everything else is still blue). It would be much better, especially when FM3 is on the floor and the eyes are almost 2 meters higher
So you can look at FM3-Edit - but as I wrote before, problems with USB make me almost quit the editor, because I really prefer to play than restart FM3 or the computer every now and then.
3. Regarding the CPU Usage and the power reserve to operate the screen / buttons, LED - one of the advantages of the new DSP (used in FM3) was to be that it contained a separate core (ARM style core? I remember correctly?), which was dedicated to this jobe, while both cores the DSP was to be occupied only with signal processing. Then why can we not use DSP power to the level of e.g. 95% (I know that it is always worth having a headroom - but does it really have to be up to 20% of the processor power?). Scaling the CPU Usage is probably not the way to go - rather optimizing your algorithms so you can use more CPU power, have I right?
4. I am still a huge fan of Fractal and please don't take my comments as an attack. I just wish I could trust the device while using it. And still waiting for firmware fixes.
