FM3 Firmware Version 9.00 public beta 1

VERSION 9.0 Public Beta, July 3, 2024

IMPORTANT: Firmware 9.00 features new DynaCab models and requires you to install two separate files:
1) the main firmware, and 2) a separate Dyna-Cab file. To install both files, please use the version of Fractal-Bot that
is built into the latest release of FM3-Edit. https://www.fractalaudio.com/fm3-edit

NEW AND IMPROVED FEATURES
  • Two new DynaCab types added: 2x12 5153 Stealth and 4x12 5153 Stealth.
  • Improved optical types in Tremolo block. Additionally, the LFO Type, Duty Cycle and Shape are now set to the most appropriate values when selecting the Tremolo Type but may then be changed freely.
  • Added “1x12 Friedman” speaker impedance curve to the amp block.
  • Improved phase inverter modeling in Amp block. This yields more “weight” and a more open tone when driving the virtual power amp hard (i.e. non-MV amps or MV turned up high).
  • Updated phase inverter parameters for many models.
  • Improved cathode follower algorithm. This results in a more open and dynamic response for models that use a cathode follower.
  • Updated Plexi 100W and 1959SLP models. A soft reset of the Amp block is required to load the new values.
FIXES
  • Cabinet Dyna-Cab Mic position default values updated to match Axe FX III. Double-click on mic position controls in FM3-Edit now successfully resets to default.
  • Fixed pops/clicks that could occur when changing Preamp Type in Cabinet block.
  • Fixed pops/clicks when using Stack/Hold in Plex Delay.
  • Fixed Delay effect Kill Dry setting not taking effect at startup.
  • Fixed an issue that could cause the bright switch to silence the Amp when gain was set too low.
  • Fixed clicks and pops when adjusting the Rat Distortion drive level.
  • Layout link will now execute properly for per-preset switches that change the current preset.

Awesome, new phase inverter and cathode follower algos are fantastic, thanks (more open and dynamic sums them up nicely).
