FM9 Firmware Version 8.00 public beta 1

[unix-guy]

Is there any update on when to expect the official release of this firmware? It seems like this has been in Beta 1 for a long time. I searched the forums and saw that there were some new private betas but not much else. Maybe I missed something

When it's ready it will be released... Nobody but Fractal can tell you more than that.

Read Axe Fx III firmware thread...

Sure, but that isn’t mentioned in the FM9 release notes for this firmware.

It's not in the FM9 firmware... I think he's expecting the same updates will come in the FM9 full release.

So exited! Got a brand new fm9 about 30 min ago! I can’t wait to try this out!

I'm guessing we're on hold for this update until Axe 27.00 goes live.

My guess as well is that they're invorporating the latest Axe improvements into the net beta release instead of polishing this one into a releasable state without them. Which is too bad, if they squeaked out an 8.0 here but the FM3 stayed in beta they could both be on 9.0 with the next release and the numbers would be the same. What a win that would be for the ODC among us.

It was also stated that their developers have been tied up finishing firmware for a brand new product (not a replacement for any of the current lineup).

OCD!

Looking forward to this!

Hmm. What are our predictions?

A compact pedal sized unit that just does amp and cab modeling?

 

[FPFL]

The FM1, or maybe FM2, is my guess.

*OCD, though it should be 'CDO' so the letters are in alphabetical order....

I think OCD works better - ordered by the completed "roundness" of each letter

The OCD crowd are easy to steer. Just hand them carefully-crafted criteria to obsess over.

Lol...literally the last guy I would expect to have a take like this would be a veteran 'nix engineer.

 

[Honken]

Just reporting back after having tried this fw.
Sounds glorious! And what a box the fm9 is. I have tweaked some amps, put together a few presets, Set up a midi controller to serve two guitarists, hammered a full rehearsal with it. And set up my active wedge.

Addictive stuff!

EDIT: intuitively when coming from the III.

Yes, please. If reasonably priced, I would absolutely buy this as an FM9 backup.

Meanwhile, twiddling thumbs for latest release. Must...be...patient...
