Thank you!

very very cool, a huge thanks for continuing to develop and improve on things here, i'm a bit scared for my CPU will have a go at it tomorrow when I get home, see how things shift/change

Awesome new update FAS! Personally, I'm glad you're not holding back on the quality of any of the effects/models. I'd much rather slim my presets down a little to get the CPU% where it needs to be and enjoy the best sounds/feel in the business!

About DynaCabs
The DynaCabs storage section of the FM3 is currently at full capacity. As a result, the new 1x12 Scholz cab from the Axe-Fx III/FM9 has not been included in this release. However, the 1x12 Scholz is available as a Dyna Cab Pack, which can be loaded into Cab-Lab. You can then export your mix and send it into the FM3 as a User Cab. https://shop.fractalaudio.com/dynacab-pack-1x12-west-coast-classic/

If you import a preset from the Axe-Fx III or FM9 that uses this cab, be sure to check settings on the FM3.

What would be really nice is to be able to ditch a cab in favor of another since we're maxed out. There are some I never use taking up space. Just a thought.

It's pretty crazy how long the update list is. The amount of work that must have gone into this update... sheesh. Much appreciated FAS team.

Thanks. Is it easy to get back to 9.0 after having installed FW10? I would like to test this new FW but want to keep 9.0 for this summer's gigs afterwards.

Hmm, I have loaded 10.0, I update Axe edit to 0707, sent all new presets as one package via the Bot.
Axedit, however does not seem to be refreshiong the preset list.....and I did not see the typical long reading definitions happen......

I would have thought this list would have been overwritten ?

You can refresh the preset names in a number of ways but the easiest is probably Settings > Refresh After New Firmware

Did you refresh after new firmware manually through the tools in edit
Try that

 

[teddis]

ahh, yes, thanks, I assumed it would do that with a comnplete new load up, all good !

 

[teddis]

Feels like Day 1 again......Many thanks !!!!

sorry to say that, but its was worst update I ever had. Almost 50% of my old presets are unusable now due to CPU usage(

Then adjust them... There's a price for progress.

Optionally, revert to your previous firmware and be happy.

I adjusted in a couple presets. Had to adjust reverb to lower cpu and lower the room level in the cab. Then just basic amp eq adjusts. As far as updates go, this one I think would be easy to roll back. Sounds good though. Guess it depends on how many presets you use. Try it and see. I like it, no going back for me.

This is how it goes. Read the notes and the posts. Adjust reverb blocks as needed because that’s what is causing the cpu spike. Or stay on what you have. This one is pretty easy imo. There have been worse but in the end it’s always worth it.
