I'm new here, a ex-AX8 user that uses FM3 for homestudio recordings.
Sorry for my English. Portuguese is my native language.
I think we have 2 points here.
The FAS staff needs stay in the creative side and development of new FW. They do a amazing job here!
On the another hand, the final user needs to receive a complete solution (FW + presets) except for alpha and beta releases.
Since the complete solution is not ready we still in the alpha or beta stage of the development.
Presets is not a gift but a demonstration of how powerful FM3 is.
New users will always start using a guitar processor by the presets.
Having presets that don't work is a bad thing for the brand. Not all people have all the knowledge that many here have.
I believe then that it is prudent to have 4 stages of development. Alpha, Beta, development releases and final releases (FW + presets).
By the way, the FW 5.03 isn't a final release, but a development release.
It would be a good thing to have the option to choose what level of experience the user wants to have. This could be configured in Fractal-Bot.
