Wow... what an update. I installed 6 beta 3 into Cakewalk with Sonarworks and it sounds really good!
hahaha... sorry.Huh?
Factory presets haven't changed. Whoever said that is wrong.I read in another thread that we can install the latest Axe-fx III patches.
There are still some amps that have not been reworked for Cygnus 2I finally got to check this out for a few hours tonight, and everything I tried sounded great except for Herbie Ch 3. That amp sounds broken, lol. It sounds like it is overload clipping with a loud signal.
I can definitely notice the bouncy chug on the low end keeps improving, and I feel like I am not high cutting as low to cut out the harsh. I am also noticing what others have said about CPU usage and clarity and such.
- New Speaker Drive algorithm in Amp block. This new algorithm more accurately models the frequency dependent distortion of guitar loudspeakers. The default value (upon resetting the block) is 2.0 which gives roughly 1 dB of compression. Setting the value to 0.0 defeats the speaker drive modeling. Higher values give a smoother and more focused sound, rounding off the “sharp edges” and yielding greater compression.
- Added Speaker Thump to Amp block. This models the dynamic, nonlinear behavior of a guitar speaker. A value of 5.0 roughly corresponds to an amp 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.

Yeah, one of the first patch I checked was the Herbie Ch3 and I was like....yikes. I'm confident that I will just need to rework it, but it seem FAR away from what it sounded like. We'll check tomorrow I guessThere are still some amps that have not been reworked for Cygnus 2
The Deizels, Bogners etc were still to be done as of This beta
2012 : Added “Atomica Low” and “Atomica High” amp models based on Cameron Atomica.What is the Atomica based on again?
First post of this thread has a link.Where can I d/l FM3 beta 6.0 - 3 firmware? Getting my FM3 tomorrow.
Thanks
Did you update the editor? I haven't seen any reported issues like this...Axe edit is a bit buggy right now. Saving is not working properly sometimes.
Takes a long time to load each cold start as well. May be normal for beta ware .
Like I said some people will find it excessive. I’ve been messing with Windoze for a long time as I’m sure you have too. Much of my points are for the way things use to be. Like draining capacitors completely, rebooting Windoze, etc.. I still find taking a methodical approach is best when performing tasks that when they go south really suck. I’ve installed, uninstalled the Firmware on the FM3 at least 2 dozen+ times and have never had any of these weird issues I see happen. Who knows what they are or why they happen, but I’ll stick to my method. Thanks for the advice.Because Fractal-Bot is already embedded in the *Edit apps and is accessible under the Tools menu, it isn't necessary to quit Edit, load Fractal-Bot, do whatever, quit it, then restart Edit. There's only one thing I've found that I absolutely need Fractal-Bot for, and that was because I was abusing the poor thing. We sometimes do that when testing.
I count 8-10 seconds before powering the unit on again. Technically we should wait 5 seconds; Sometimes I'm busy or distracted and it sits for hours, sometimes I fat-finger the power switch, freak out, then power it off again and wait. It's survived my antics so far.
