FM3 Firmware Version 4.00 beta 1

[Anton Aristov]

After upgrading to the new beta version, strange things began to happen. It's a good thing they decide to restart the fm3. When working in omg9 mode, some screens do not display characters (for example, the word "effects" was not displayed on the "effects" screen today) (((

Okay, I've encountered a strange bug. Not sure if anyone else has mentioned this or not so far. When I reset the drive block, or choose a new drive type from the menu, the low cut parameter defaults to the lowest setting (20Hz) on all models. I realised this when I reset my TS 808 block and suddenly there was just too much low end. Can someone confirm whether they also have encountered this or am I doing something wrong? Thanks!

Do you realize that when you "reset the drive block" that parameters are going to get changed to default values? It's weird to complain "it doesn't sound like I like it" after you did a reset.

Observations are not, by default, "criticisms" or "complaints."

I point this out to my teenage son frequently. He still has not accepted
it as a valid point to make either.

Fair enough, I'll improve my statement... It's weird to report "it doesn't sound like I like it" after you did a reset.

Hello. My left Scribble strip is still blacked out after this update. It got messed up on the 3.0.3 beta. Is there something I need to do to reset it or is this still an issue with the 4.0 beta? Thanks in advance

Mine had the same problem. I went in to the Setup menu, then FC Controllers/Onboard Switches, and then Mini-Display Contrasts. I cycled the percentage from zero to 100% quite a few times, and watched the left scribble strip appear and disappear completely. I finally left it at 43%, powered down again, and all three strips work correctly now. However, if I go back in and change the contrast percentage again, the first scribble strip will disappear and I have to power the unit down again. It's quite an annoying glitch.

Where is the KLON block? I cannot find it in the new V4 beta.

Note: because of ever evolving firmware, the suggested settings in the links below may not be accurate.

• Currently there's no Fractal Audio model of the Klon Centaur boost/overdrive pedal. Here are ways to approach its sound:
  • Camilo Velandia matches a Klon Centaur
  • AustinBuddy's suggested settings
  • Yek replicates the EHX Soul Food, a Klon clone
  • Leon Todd's AA Workhorse settings (a Klon clone)
  • PEQ settings to simulate a Klon: band 1 Shelving2, 150 Hz, 0.707, -12, band 5 Shelving2, 2253 Hz, 0.707, -12, Level 1.5

Is it just me? Or has the virtual capo improved? Last time I used it was a couple FW back, but it seems much better.

Nope. It's the same.

Leon Todd's Klon settings are buried in a 50min video. He uses a FET Boost, starts talking about it here:

Check the tone control display global setting.

Thanks Baracus, this solved my problem with soft resets restoring everthing to neutral

Anyone notice a strange undertone in the bassguy models? It's almost like a pitch shift that's pretty quiet under the tone of the amp.

Been playing through some of the Axe-FX III Cygnus Factory presets on the FM3:

It’s crazy looking at that little box while hearing the exact tones from my Axe-FX III. Just blows my mind.

Cheers to @Admin M@ and everyone involved with reworking them; I haven’t left the Plexis for the past five hours. Amazing work @FractalAudio and team!

Yeah... lol. I’ve got my own FM3 Klon thread. Just keeping the idea alive.

Could it be ghost notes?

Yes, and I found it elsewhere too, My Unit is for sale

If only you could reinstall the old firmware.

Yeah I think I'm done here, they all sound muffled and I did reset amp blocks too with no Improvement sad day for this customer
