FM3 Update anytime soon?

[Shelladelic]

Not that it really needs one, but that Klone would be nice..

[supersonic]

Yes, would be nice, miss my Klone!

Right? It's only been 4 months, but in Fractal Update World™, that's basically an eternity

and then.... on the horizon.... just a glimpse of the distant, far-off shine of a "Plexi Update"

Personally, I'd rather it be "right" than fast.

That being said, I didn't do the update from May (IIRC). I would probably update for a Klon just because I accidentally sold my last physical clone (thought I had a different one in the drawer). But, honestly, I like everything the way it is so much, I'm afraid of an update screwing things up.

Version 6.00 is in private beta test. Shouldn't be much longer.

Oh man that’s awesome

What’s the “THUMP” I keep seeing people talking about?

 

[danwei]

I hope i got it right:
It emulates the behavior of a Real Guitar cab, so it doubles the fun when using FRFR.

Thanks for the update, will this reflect the new things released in FW 20.05 for the axe fx?

From https://forum.fractalaudio.com/threads/fm9-firmware-version-3-00-public-beta-2.185881/ (FM9 firmware list-of-goodies - we can hopefully expect the FM3 to have a fair number of these )

* 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

Yeah, Leon Todd did a video today about a new pedal in the Axe FXIII and the FM3 still hasn't gotten the Klon.

I am very happy with my Fractal FM3. The sound is very good. Fractal is an extremely competent and professional company, also in terms of support and customer care with updates. This was also one of the reasons why I switched from another modeler to the FM3. The GUI of the other modeler was very good, but the device remained at the level at which it was purchased. There were no updates and therefore no troubleshooting.
Surely there are different products at Fractal, which also cost different amounts.
Nevertheless, Fractal gives the impression of a "three-class company". In the same period (December to now), there were 17 updates for the FX III, and 5 for the FM 3.
The setlist function does not exist until today. I have tried several times to ask but always without success....
I am curious what version 6.0 will bring for us FM3 users.
