FM3 Firmware Version 5.03

[Bill Arsenault]

Relax guys. It’s coming.

Thx man-
I‘m in bad shape.
I actually visited Christ Returns Today.com to ask about the possibility of Jesus having 6.0 with him when he gets here.

Seeing how axe and Fm9 keep updating and Fm3 nothing....

Been a Fractal user since 2008 (Ultra days) and have had the flagship product until a few years ago when I decided I didn't want to lug a rack case & separate foot controller any more. Sold my gear and 'down sized' to the FM3 (the only downsize option at the time). Yes, it does pretty much do what I need it to do but, I do miss the constant improvement updates that are a regular occurrence on the flagship product.

I mean, I did realize at the time, that the FM3 was not going to get the attention of the flagship product but I didn't anticipate the FM3 'running into a wall/ceiling' as fast as it did. With the FM9 now occupying the second tier, I think we FM3 users need to accept the fact that, perhaps, the FM3 is the red headed step child ......

I still very much appreciate the Fractal products' soundscapes - there is no close second.

I do not believe the FM3 is a "red-headed stepchild".

Abandonment issues getting triggered. Again.

Yup, for all we know the never-ending updates may be pushing the FM3 update back---as they
want to integrate the latest Cliffisms into the FM3 update now, rather than revisit it over and over
again.

A few of these posts lately remind of dealing with my small children and how they will try and guilt me into doing what they want!

There has been no indication at all that the FM3 is being left behind. Just a longer wait to port a large update than people are used to. We have been told that the update is coming. It’s just a matter of time so they can get the bugs out. Patience.

I am pleased to announce I’ve slowly but surely been improving my tone without a firmware update. It’s rather unbelievable! It uses no extra CPU, either! My guitar teacher turned me on to this technique called “practicing” and I think it might be the holy grail of tone, given enough time.

the FM3 is the red headed step child

Seriously?

What I don't understand is why some people feel that fractal has canned the fm3. Cliff and Matt have literally told us that we're getting a major update. Lol

it seemed like the main reason the ax8 got left behind is that it wasn't designed in a way that led to shared updates between the axeII. AFAIK the fm3 is much easier to port updates over to it (as long as it's hardware limitations can handle them). also.... we've had multiple updates from fractal saying they are working on it! that's good enough for me

Acaso no funciona lo suficientemente bien????
Lo que nos ocurre es que siempre queremos más....

Si, si

 

[Intoodeep1113]

it SEEMS to me that they alternate between the FM9 and FM3 for priority of updating them. sometimes FM3 gets stuff quick and FM9 is a few months behind. this time it is the opposite. No big deal, although it is exciting to anticipate the next upgrade!

FM3 updates or no updates, Dream Theater will still be corny.

Damn, dude! That's one derail over the line.
