Will the factory preset banks ever be updated for Ares v1.03?

[Colorado Axeman]

The website still has downloads of the factory banks from 2017 / Quantum 8.02. Will these ever get updated, or are we on our own now?

I would say we are on our own now brother. The factory presets were always just a starting point........ for me anyway........... to learn what I was trying to do. There seem to be some killer preset packs that others are marketing though. I'm considering picking a couple up myself to learn how these cats are getting their tones.

I'd imagine all resources are being directed towards firmware finalization for the FM3, new features for the III, working out production of the FM3, filling orders for the FC6/12's, new presets is probably low on the list....?

The current ones still sound great in most cases too, sometimes even better.

It's probably best to search out the Fremen patches, Austin Buddy, Moke, Choptones and other commercial patch libraries for different libraries for the II, IIXL, IIXL+. Just check to be sure that they are available in the proper format and have been tweaked for the Ares firmware.
