FM3 Mark II Turbo announced

[Baba]

Wondering how much the non-turbo OG version will be going for, on the used market . . .

I mean, you can't get the turbo yet, so, pricing should stay high, right?

this is why I'm not a customer

Actually someone said they got contacted and got on the list early June so that’s pretty good if they are only a month behind

Edit Correction looks like they are about end of April and poster was mistaken

will it perform any better as a USB device in terms of not having to apply a manual offset while recording?

Pretty sure this was sorted months ago?

The changes are small enough that I don't think most people care. The price difference is likely to be pretty small too.

Even with the Axe-Fx 2 Mk1 vs Mk2 there hasn't been much difference in price.

Man, the bedwetters are out in force on TGP about this. Upgraded processor, bigger strip displays, for the same price? No good deed goes unpunished.

I'd only go to TGP to feel better about myself as a semi-functional adult.

Oh totally. I’m an absolute headcase, so I still go there to feel better about myself.

Precisely!

Free therapy! And with a side order of Ego Boost that I am not a complete shitbag.

I think I’ve said on more than one occasion over there “as someone with actually diagnosed OCD, you’re fucked up, dude. Settle down now. Go get some fresh air.”

IT'LL NEVER MAKE UP FOR THAT TIME BACK IN 1973 WHEN CLIFF STOLE MY MILK MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I could maybe see the dismay if it was a significant price hike but how could you have any issue with a company improving a device and keeping the price the same as the OG. And while the improvements are great, it's not such an upgrade that should make one feel like their FM3 MKI as being useless or outdated.

I saw a comment on YT saying "Great my FM3 I bought last week is now obsolete"

1) no it isn't
2) welcome to electronic devices in general. Trying to get the latest and greatest is a losing battle

Anyway, super excited for those getting their hands on a FM3!

If you factor in inflation… It’s actually cheaper now in present dollars

 

[TSJMajesty]

Were any of these crybabies around in the 90's, when computers were getting faster chips monthly???

Wait until you bring up overclocking in the bios ..

It’s everywhere though; the Fractal group on FB has a bunch of whiners.

FFS. There are many well-known, professional musicians still rocking the Axe-FX II and doing just fine.
