I understand your point, but I maintain that cycling the power on the unit is not an intended performance function, and therefore doesn't matter. Unit goes on, show goes on, unit goes off. If the power on any piece of equipment is cycling during a performance, your beef lies elsewhere. Analogy: if I've got a burr on my saddle and it's continually breaking strings during my gigs, does it make sense for me to gripe about how long it takes for me to change the string and wish it was less--and how guitar manufacturers need to care more about their string-breaking customers? Of course not. The complaint is hilariously misdirected.Totally disagree as any live performance device should be able to boot as quickly as possible within reason, and the booting time saved for those not using Dyna-Cabs live would be welcomed by all live performance players who've had a crash on stage (which includes me).
That's your opinion, many others have a differing opinions, which are they want the fastest boot possible during live performance (i.e. the same boot-time they had prior to Dyna-Cabs being offered, but love Cyg-3 etc), especially when you're performing as a power trio plus one.Frankly, if you're playing a gig where being down for 45-seconds in the rare event a crash happens is going to be a trainwreck or cause you undue stress, then you need to have a standby rig that you can A/B switch over to where you'll only miss a quarter or half note.
If you can live with a 25-second bootup in a rare event situation, then you can live with a 45-second bootup. If not, you need an active standby rig. Fortunately, that's quite inexpensive to do with this platform.
Sure they can, but they shouldn't have to.audience can wait 20-30 seconds !!!
Where in the turn-on/boot-up process would you add this option? Select it at turn-on and then start the boot-up process? Not sure having it as a saved function is the answer since you will still need to turn-on or off after boot-up. Does it add time or stay within the 30 seconds boot time?Many of us want the option to disable the Dyna-Cabs only for live performance, as we use them for studio, rehearsal, and sound design etc.

We have backup available for total failure, but that's more hassle than a short reboot time during infrequent crash events.
Yup! Like I said I don’t know about whether you can downgrade but I do know for certain that I have all the features of FW8 except for dynacabs.Seriously it will work this way? Interesting. I might try it but the boot time doesn’t bug me. I’d be ok without the DC I’m still using my regulars.
What's your boot time assuming you click the error away promptly?Yup! Like I said I don’t know about whether you can downgrade but I do know for certain that I have all the features of FW8 except for dynacabs.
Dude, your situations have nothing to do with mine, so how about you stop arguing with me in a thread about shorter boot times for live performance?I think everyone understands what you want and the reason for why you want it. I have been in situations where I sensed clearly that if anyone goes down on a gig for longer than a bar or two, that would be his or her last gig. Everyone needs to weigh the costs, benefits, and risks for their personal situation and either run a standby or roll the dice and don't.
You have decided not to. That is the practical solution to your problem that you have consciously decided to pass on, and that's fine. You just probably won't get a whole lot of sympathy from Fractal over the 20 seconds you want back that you may never need as compared to the programming time and costs it would take for them to have a boot option sequence added to the firmware when a simpler and better (i.e., no bootup is faster than any bootup) solution already exists.
Is there a feature request for this in the wish list section? How many +1's did it get? I'd imagine at most 20% of users care about those 20 seconds from DynaCabs and it will never be an option.

This conversation doesn't effect you as you are happy with your boot times, so please stop arguing with me.
The device is not aware of this feature during power on and boot upA Global Setting of Load Dynacabs=Off would be nice.
I had the same thought...The device is not aware of this feature during power on and boot up
I just timed it and it takes 26 seconds if you’re still wondering. I kept meaning to time it but I kept forgetting lol.What's your boot time assuming you click the error away promptly?
