FM3 Firmware Version 6.00 beta 6

[skolacki]

No problems with the betas, amp blocks all updated. Gonna wait for the release. Sounds really good!

Don't forget to refresh after firmware.

I have been playing with Diamante Fire. It has only 3 control knobs in the Tone page. Is that correct?

Final tomorrow or Monday maybe? I guess we will see

No telling, but it's looking up. I'd lay odds on early next week.

Bravo to the FAS team... this beta 4 and beta 6 have been amazing to my ears. I've been a long time Axe-fx Ultra, II and now FM3 user since back in 2008. I've struggle with the Ultra, II and even with the FM3. FW 6 beta 4/6 has been AMAZING to my ears. Clear, organic and just overall bad ass. Great work to Cliff and Company. I tried to trade my Mesa Boogie Triple Crown 50 watt head for an Axe-fx III a while back and ended up just buying an FM3 about a year ago with FW 3 or 4, which didn't sound all that great to my ears, just a bit too dark for my tastes. FW 6 beta 4/6 specifically patch 008 Plexi 50W Scene 1 (dry) and patch 086 Cameron CCV with a little more brightness just kicks all kinds of ass. Great job... Lifetime customer who is here to stay. Thanks Cliff and the rest of the FAS team for all the tireless work that you guys do.

FAS. The gift that keeps giving!
I’ve had my FM3 for a week and it is absolutely mind blowing! Best piece of gear I’ve ever owned.

6160 Block Lead, audio is cutting out after a few minutes of playing. Switching to another amp the audio comes back. The model sounds different to me also. It may be something on my end, not sure.

Same at the FAS Skull Crusher.

You will be saying that years from now FAS just keeps getting better. Blows me away with the dedication they have to make better every day.

Thanks once again. I’ll have to load it today and take it for a spin.

On the latest beta firmware, I noticed such a feature - When switching presets, a bang sound is often heard. Such a kick of low frequencies into the frfr speaker. Never noticed this before

I had also audio cuts yesterday, but with PVH 6160 Block Crunch. Changing preset and going back to the preset fixed it. I experienced the issue twice.

How do you do the refresh in FM3 edit?

 

[skolacki]

Its in one of the drop downs. Refresh after firmware update.

Yep, same story here. The output level was also about +6dB than normal. Even though CPU reported was 75%, looks like I had to shunt some block to have it working a bit more, but it ended up having the same issues after a few seconds. Preset was saved with V6 Beta4. I tried to reset the channel but it did not solve the problem.

Other presets saved in V5 are not showing any of these issue (Atomica, 5153, SLO100).

Back to Beta4 and it's all good again.

It truly is remarkable how far Fractal has taken this little monster(FM3) in a couple of years. It sounded great at version 1.0 and it keeps on getting better. Thank you FAS team.
