c bon j'ai fait un refresh after new firmware. Désolé d'avoir posé la question aussi rapidement.

Always refresh after new firmware. It's the equivalent of this:

Correct, seems like the perfect place to inquire about a bug that needs to be fixed, and whether that fix has been implemented in this latest firmware.

It's not a bug, it's never been advertised as a capability.

It was later added as a capability on Axe Fx III and FM9, which as already mentioned have a different USB implementation than the FM3.

Hello,

Any FM3 MK1 users tried this new beta ?

I'm curious to know if it takes more CPU and how many % more...

I got a few presets at 75% and hope I will still let them work without issue.

Thank you.

This FW 12.b2 seems to use roughly 2.5% more CPU on my FM3 mk1 than FW 12.b1 did, with 75% CPU still being the max before at minimum response to remote MIDI performance slows way down while audio is playing, as does editor response.

Hopefully there are some optimizations left to do to lower the CPU hit for release?

It’s absolutely a bug. And it’s absolutely advertised as a ““extremely high quality 4×4 audio interface” on their product page. Feel free to check it out.
 
The FM3 does not report USB latency. This isn't a bug. It's lack of a feature (in the 3rd-party USB driver). Whether or not it disqualifies it as an "extremely high quality USB interface" is subjective.

At the moment all engineering resources are fully utilized. When/if we get some resource availability we can look into adding this functionality.

All good here for me, have a 20year old RME Babyface sitting on my desk it does the trick for me.
Would be nice to use the FM3 standalone for recording without any latency measurement workarounds.
Beside that i`m once again very happy and thankful for the new beta, bought my FM3 with FW 7 installed and from great sound&feeling it has become better and better with each new FW...incredible
Thank you👍

Thanks for clarifying the situation.
It would be greatly appreciated if it could be fixed at some point but I understand there are other more important issues.

Also huge thanks for the continued updates.
 
I've had an FM3 for years and have been delighted with it in general but I come back to the forums every once in a while to see if the USB latency reporting has been addressed, or is on the roadmap in any way. Since it does seem to be a case of allocating engineering resources rather than a hardware limitation I'm guessing that the only way it will be worked on is if enough of the user base is vocal enough about it to make Fractal see it as a priority over the other things on the to-do list.

So I'm just adding my voice here in the hope of nudging us closer to whatever that critical mass is. For me, personally, a fix for this would be more meaningful update to the unit than anything else.

Create a wish thread or see if one exists and add your voice. That's the right way to do it.

Adding it here to a firmware release thread (especially a beta thread) isn't going to do much.

This thread is about this beta firmware release and will end up locked in the near future when the official firmware drops.

You can add your voice here: https://forum.fractalaudio.com/threads/usb-latency-fix.217256/

We asked a lot of times in different threads but the main "reason" is that they assume that the FM3 main usage is for live performance and not studio recording and there are workarounds working.
(I do not agree but that's the main line on the subject)

The last time I checked in here the Wish thread about this issue had been closed in a week with an "Understood. This thread is redundant so it is being closed." from @Admin M@ (https://forum.fractalaudio.com/threads/usb-latency.201485/). So I wasn't able to add my +1 there.

I didn't see that a newer, open one currently exists, and had no reason to expect that one would. Now that I see it I'll chime in there too of course. I agree with keeping wishes and firmware update talk to their own threads in general, but I thought the wish thread avenue had been closed off in this case. And the people raising it here have at least put it front-of-mind enough at Fractal to get a couple of responses on the issue, so I felt that adding to that "momentum" couldn't hurt to try.
