Griddle Cakes....yummm!

First impression is that it feels better and sounds smoother, less harsh highs. About 5% less CPU usage as well.
Nice job guys!

it's always hard to tell because it sounded great before, but so far I've auditioned the BE100v3 and the deluxe verb and it's sounding fantastic. low end feels nicer but I could always be fooling myself because I knew it was coming. still, so far pretty darned happy and there's still a lot here to soak in. thanks as always, team fractal. really wasn't expecting to buy the entry level device two years ago and still have what seems like a brand new unit today.

That’s about a TURBO now

Nice point! As I said earlier to beta v1, this is almost like getting a new machine. Other companies would just try to sell a new unit.

Rookie/novice question since this is the first firmware change I've seen since owning the FM3.
Will OMG settings for foot controllers be affected? In other words, do I need to 'reload' OMG9?
Thank you in advance.

Generally, firmware updates do not affect your switch layouts unless otherwise noted in the release notes, so you shouldn't need to reload them. There's always the remote possibility something could go sideways during a FW update, so always do a full backup of everything using Fractal Bot before updating just in case.

Always!!! Backup, backup, backup!!

The JP2C models sound muffled. I‘m sure you’re aware, just didn’t see anything mentioned about it.

Go find the bugs so we can sleep.

I think this bug is still not fixed:
https://forum.fractalaudio.com/threads/problem-with-scene-ignore.184905/#post-2279940

Explanation:
I save the preset 501 with the Synth block bypassed and scene ignore activated.
Then I change to another preset, and go back to the preset 501.
The preset 501 is opened with the Synth block not bypassed and scene ignore activated.

Is it a bug or not?

If you do not save your preset it is not a bug

 

[Moke]

Yes, I think I know what is causing this.

Test preset sent.

A bit confused on speaker thump
what is correct value for a 100 watt amp into a 4x12 w four 25 watt speakers?
Or a 50 watt into a 4x12 with four 60 watt speakers?

To quote Cliff from the v20.01 release notes:

Added Speaker Thump control to Amp block. Speaker Thump models the dynamic, nonlinear behavior of a guitar speaker. A value of 5.0 roughly corresponds to an amplifier running into a speaker rated at the same power as the amplifier, i.e., a 100W amplifier running into a 100W speaker. The reset value is a conservative 2.5 which represents, i.e., a 50W amp running into a 100W speaker. Note that the majority of the response is in the subsonic region and the effect is primarily tactile. Existing presets are not affected and the value will be zero.

even a man who is pure at heart and has a fractal device
can become a wolf when wolfbanes bloom, firmware is new
and the moon is full and bright.
