Quite often after update to 4.0 my FM3 unit is freezing, with output signal starting to sound like very low volume slightly distorted DI signal without any effects. At the same time the unit stops reacting to any buttons. Full restart fixes the issue.
Several things I noticed:
Several things I noticed:
- Freezing was also before upgrading 4.0 but very seldom and the patch sound was at least not affected.
- Freezing happens more often when I am connected to PC with USB. But still also happens without USB connectivity.
- CPU is loaded up to about 78-79 %.
- My main guitar patch is using several Pitch controllers (for gain levels of Delay, Reverb and also one of frequencees gain at PEQ). Maybe this could provoke it to freeze more often.
- Freezing also happend once on Bass patch, where the overall CPU load is even less (only Amp, Cab, Drive and Compressor).
- I noticed that freezing tends to happen more often when I adjust things on the fly and don't store preset.
- The most secure way to avoid freezing is to start device on already existing patch and not do any preset changes. If changes done - restart the device completely.
