FM3 Firmware Version 5.00 beta 1

[Ugly Bunny]

Fixed the fan ‘chirping’ demonstrated on some units.

So, silly question: how do you fix what seem to be hardware-related issues with a FW update? Just curious

Power plans, fan/temperature speed curves - much like you'd do through UEFI BIOS for example on some motherboards.

Shame about not getting the pitch feature for the reverb. Guess I will keep using my Nightsky for this.

Check out the shimmers in the plex block. They are MILES ahead of the "plex shimmer" of pre beta 5. Sorry if I sound like a broken record!

I also noticed a built up a patch that had a helium shimmer in the plex block and nimbostratus on ultra high in the reverb block, and cpu was hitting 87% and still running. I wouldn't rely on it, but previously I was getting dropouts around 84%.

Perhaps March will bring announcement of FM3+ or Mk II with just enough of a CPU upgrade to handle these pitch algo complaints.
I like how the “constraints” of the FM3’s power have inspired better/more efficient algo design that will probably even trickle “up” to the FM9 or Axe should they ever need more breathing room.

I have been on the waitlist of the local reseller since the end of April and my FM3 is still not delivered to me (hope I will get it before the end of the month), I prepaid an x1.5 from US price for the unit which I waiting for more than a half of the year now. When I saw the FM9 announcement I asked about updates and received an answer that the life of fm3 is far from the end. If they will abandon FM3 now it will be my second fractal device which I bought new from fractal or its official reseller which starts to be abandoned before I get my device.

Next update will use the reserved CPU from Reverb optimization within this update for pitch block improvement

I would not say that this is likely in the next coming updates, which are already in "alpha", but It is almost always true that the future remains wide open.

.

Was this implemented into the Beeeeeta? Or was it already implemented into 4.X?

Just upgraded to this v5.01 Beta last night, all good on my non-headphone jack FM3
Looking at the details of the update, it says there is a new amp which is the FAS Buttery. Is this an updated version? as I thought this was already part of the previous firmware.

Only joking here...

I just wanna report i haven’t had much issue yet @rglr might be pretty close to a release candidate.

Wait. There’s more? . I mean obviously there’s the release candidate but is there anything additional coming in these supposed alphas? I already thought this was a great amount of stuff

Wow, no scene list font change.

that project depends on the talents of the engineer who is wrapping up the Setlist Song feature.

I’ts my first time that Im posting something here.
I’m a huge fan of fractal…

But it is a shame what you guys are doing with the customers of fm3…

“The solution is buy fx3 or fm9 for new pitch/capo”. Is what I never expected to hear from you guys.


I don’t need a new pitch… I need something that is usable…

The fm3 capo is horrible, with lag and destroy your tone.

Again I’m a huge fan of fractal ( I have a fx3 in my studio and fm3 for band) but , I think you guys need to hear the community to increase the capo. Everyone that have a band need a good capo.

Best

Is the old technique of a parallel gated non-shifted block not useful with the virtual capo?

Excited about FAS Buttery! That was my go-to in my IIXL. Did I already say EXCITED?! APPRECIATE ALL YOU DO!

Is this an Ugly Bunny burner account?

How it works Chris ?

 

[Lodeman]

Can I edit (globally) the Resistive Load curve and save it? I've set the speaker impedance curve to Resistive Load on the Global settings but when I load an AMP the curve is all flat again. Is there a way to use Resistive Load curve as an "user" curve without lose the changes when loading different amps?

Good news....aargh I'm out on a business trip until tomorrow night; what a nightmare.
Looking forward..
Thanks FAS
