Just to clairify on the correct editor version, I'm one who decided to go back to FW v1 until an official release is made. I tried Beta 2, then noticed a few things (or i'm just having a placebo effect from reading forum posts - lol ) and decided to roll back. I am using the latest editor with v1 firmware. So if I now create and save new patches with this version of the editor will that be an issiue? Should I uninstall and use the old editor until I finally decide to use the latest firmware and editor? I don't fully understand this talk regarding "block changes". It looks like the documentation says to use the old editor, but you post implys I'm good with the new editor?
I am not typically one to install a beta on a new product. I usually wait for the official release. I usually watch these threads to see how the testing is going. I can say that I am really surprised that Fractal has released two updates for the FM9 that had so many big issues when it got to public beta. They thought 2.0 was a very strong release candidate when they released it. I am not sure how they are missing the big issues but it isn't making me feel confident as a customer. I would rather see them take longer to code it and release a more stable beta than to see these types of issues.IDK what their "process" is. Second beta is arguably worse than the first beta. I trust that Fractal is going to do what they think is best for their business. As they should.
When beta/firmware updates introduce lockups, freezes and blasting noise from outputs, I feel that fixing that is more important to users than adding Scene Ignore or another Bassman sim. But that's just me. I hope they will be introducing a comprehensive fix soon.
The point in betas is to spot bugs.
I have done enough software development in my career to have more of an understanding of betas than the average person... My point is that by the time you get to a public beta, the big issues that we have seen are usually found and fixed.
That's the case
I am not sure I agree with that from the posts I have been reading here. I expect they will get some of the bigger issues resolved soon but I am still surprised they even made it past the beta testers.
I gigged with this beta last week and had no problem at all
My reverbs and delays weren't working but I think it's because of an expression pedal bug. Revert back to fw1.0.0 and it works as expected.
The only real issue with 2.01b for me is switches plugged into the pedal jacks are not being treated as switches internally, despite setting the config to 'switch'....
