Just had a free afternoon today and decided to toy around with the FM3... since I have the AFX III and I'm nowhere near to having a chance to play live I left it with FW 3.01b, so it was a nice opportunity to do a sort of staggered update to check out the changes to the modeling, and while I'm happy to say it's been stellar, felt the need to chime in with an observation.
It's just that I find funny that some of the bugs people are reporting here just hit me in a sort of backwards fashion... When I updated to 3.03b and rebooted the unit, the dreaded blacked left LCD screen was right there, while in some other cases people reported appearing AFTER a while. Then, updated to 4.02b and BAM there it was again right from the start, LOL.
Then, the fan thing... it's been almost 2 hours with 4.02b and the thing is dead quiet, in fact, it started running for about 3-4 seconds while I was writing the last paragraph and that's all...
I'm going back to 3.03b just because I forgot to keep an eye on CPU % to check for differences between Ares and Cygnus. Overall, despite the things I noticed, I'm happy to say it's rocking soooo good. I'm eager to see if the guys are successful in the future porting the overhauled Pitch block from the Axe-FX III, because that would be the icing on the cake, for sure.
