FM3 Firmware Version 12.0

What firmware did you update from?

There's nothing in the release notes regarding a change like this.

I haven't updated yet so I can't confirm.

Do you have the latest editor and did you run Refresh After New Firmware?

I updated from FW11 to FW12 (FM3 MkII), and yes, i installed the latest FM3 Editor (v1p07p15), and yes, i do a "Refresh after new firmware".
In the screenshots, you can see that the Bass Response control is present for PiFuzz-Triangle, PiFuzz-Russian, and PiFuzz-Ram's Head in FW11.
Also, the Dry Level control is removed in fw12.

Can anyone still running FW10 or FW11 confirm this?

Currently, I'm having trouble getting the same sound with the Big Muffs as I did with FW11, and I'm considering switching back to FW11.

A question: its necessary to soft reset the amp after applying this update?
Click to expand...
I thought FAS previously stated the release notes would specify when it was required.

EDIT: Just refreshed my memory on this. A soft reset is suggested anytime the amp models have been updated. But I do recall FAS previously stating it would be explicitly said with a release when it is necessary (this happened when this feature was first added and caused much confusion). You can find more details on the Wiki on the Amp Block page. You can always do it "just because".

haven't seen a greyed number after directly using "upgrade all presets"

Tried it again, no worky. IIRC when running "upgrade all presets" it opens every preset visibly on the unit and saves it. It doesn't on mine. Nothing happening and greyed out numbers after. It takes 1min 20s, supposed to take like 10 mins.

I think I'll reload the FW. Haven't tried that yet.

It didn’t open each preset for sure, just showed a scroll bar showing preset numbers.

The time it takes depends on how many actual presets you have, empty ones go faster.

I solved it.
For some strange reason, after updating to firmware 12 in Fractal Bot, it wouldn't let me install the Dynacabs. To fix the problem, I ran FM3 Edit and read all the blocks (the Dynacabs weren't being read in the CAB section). Then I closed FM3 Edit and tried again with Fractal Bot, and the program performed the update normally.
So, if this happens to anyone else, I've basically updated the firmware = run FM3 Edit with block reading = updated Dynacabs.
Thanks to the interceptor for his help.

A RAR file is not readable by FractalBot.

I'm not sure what fixed your problem, but I'm pretty certain it wasn't related to reading the block definitions again.

The Release Notes should tell us if it's required...

Hi all,

I would like to use the metronome function via midi remote. I set it to CC110. In general it works but I can only toggle the on/off state of the metronome.
Is there any way to enable/disable the metronome by sending specific value?

What exactly are you asking?

How is on/off different from enable/disable?

Thing is, not all presets are greyed out. I can't really figure why some are and others aren't.
This unit is a new Turbo, it doesn't have all of my old homemade presets, only the factory 10.0 that I loaded when I got it and just a couple homemade for current gigs.
So from the factory presets some are black and some are greyed. I'll investigate some more.
 
I don't know if it's a bug, but here goes; I updated (from FW 8) to Beta 12, now 12, and some weird crackling started to appear - sometimes at the end of a fading chord, sometimes on the initial strum - sort of like a broken cable. I tried changing all the cables, and started to worry if somehow I'd broken the FM3 (MK1). On a whim I tried building a new patch from scratch, and it seems like the problem is gone - but it remains on all my existing presets. Anybody else experience this?

Take a peek at your Input Block... it might be spiking there. I had to adjust mine a little while back.
