I wonder if it's actually true that there are more Macs on world-class stages than Windows machines. Or how we could actually know.

Industry standard for a computing device used by musicians in actual stadiums vs a new device with unproven feature creep. Nice try tho. Plenty more straws to grab.
Good question. I typically only see macs on large stages. That and fractals where modeling is used.
It's a nice looking product. People should be aware that we haven't exactly been resting on our laurels. Our next-gen products have what would've been considered super-computing power just a few years ago.
It will make all these other products look like a Game Boy.
That's cause if it got Windows on it, it ain't a world-class stage no more...
This is not possible on current hardware.
So somewhere between "very little development effort" and "This is not possible". Got it.
Totally agree... Matt has posted about the lack of storage and not being able to make further changes.
At least 76 LOC bro!Ahh, the claims of "very little development required" from the peanut gallery - a fond (mostly not) frequent memory from my decades in sys dev
False. There were some of us that wanted better reverbs. Fractal iterated over the years on Reverb implementations until arriving at the latest iterations which are fantastic.
Little development, hardware upgrade required. The whole piece of discussion about “focus” and new generation devices. To me the way line 6 uses the new hardware for midi/backing tracks is focused enough, they develop new capabilities, enable new use cases, so the platform progresses.
Ah, so it’s your fault!
Yeah, and to use these fantastic iterations in practice I need to turn the greatness down or off, or remove it from presets altogether so that it doesn’t break things like the pitch shifter. How “focused” is that?
Windows is also a general purpose platform which isn’t focused on playing backing tracks, or on doing anything other “one thing well”, for that matter.
They also tend to use aspirational marketing terms like Apple Intelligence to name features that are anything but, sometimes. Just like “Stadium”.
For me, the same could be said about lighting control and backing tracks. Decisions are hard.
There's no lighting controls, it's about sending midi out. This is important for many things apart from lighting.
). The other consideration I could see is that opening up FC midi a lot would probably require more safe guarding code to be deployed in FC as users would build all kinds of wild / wooly custom midi that might stress FCs functioning beyond what Fractal intends.
