Fractal Audio Firmware Update Thread

that probably just means the Ax3 beta will have more stuff he is still working on

He’s been in hiding… There’s gonna be a reveal

The question is will it work on the FM9

Isn't the Bassman a new amp that's not on the III? I know we already have a couple of them, but a new version?

Yeah, this one in the beta is the 59 Bassguy Jumped REISSUE IT'S MORE REALER THAN THE THING IT'S A RECREATION OF.

(Actually I'm really stoked about that, the Bassman is one of my favorite amps and more is more)

The only one left that I really want him to do is that Nobles ODR1. there are a ton of votes on that one and it is one of the most prominent drive boxes on the Nashville players boards , than I really have no ,more drive requests
The only thing I have noticed about some of the drives is them come in very hot , they have a lot of gain even at 10 or 11 o'clock , I have played with the mix , and it helps but if still feel there is too much gain on some IMO

Also Question and I am sure I am just not looking in the right spot , How do I set up a custom Graphic Q, instead of using the 120 , 250 . that is there. can I set it for different values like a VHT eq 100. 250. 630 1.2 .2.3 etc

You can set up a 5 band Parametric EQ to do that, and assign the desired Freqs and Qs.

Some goodies to try out! I can't wait to try the new noise gate.

"Some" may not be accurate after looking at the compressor changes lol

Added “OD-One Overdrive” Drive model based on a Boss OD-1.
that should be awesome

Does Cliff do everything by himself or he has a team ?

My impression is that a lot of it is Cliff doing bleeding edge stuff, but he does have other developers on a small team that help him. There seems to be specific developers porting AF3 changes to the FM9 and FM3.

I think he does most of the III work but the other devices have teams if I recall correctly.

Oh nice, looks like Cliff has overhauled the compressor block

yes all nice and dandy but will it use 30% of the CPU?

Ha. I was thinking about posting that exact thing. Great minds, lol.

New comps and gate options are pretty tasty. Being able to slap the JP2C shred switch on a Recto is pretty fun too

A Mode selection has been added allowing the user to select between “Easy” and “Advanced”. In Easy mode the number of parameters is reduced simplifying the adjustment procedure for those who are unfamiliar with the finer details of gates/expanders for guitar noise reduction applications.

I like this. I hope they expand it (no pun intended) to other effects too.

Yeah an easy/advanced mode across each block would tidy up the overall workflow a lot.

Fractal is king.

They need to start inscribing “Look at my works and laugh at everyone else” on the bottom of the units.

Helix is Queen and we all know the Queen is more powerful

I wonder if this is starting to happen
The Buxom boost has the exact controls including the tight , which in the past usually in the notes it would mention how to simulate w the eq etc but this time the control was modelled

Also the New Boss OD1 same thing
2 controls gain level on the main page

Maybe it is going to be simplified and match all the controls going fwd

Just commented on Leon's beta vid but that Shred Switch boost is

YEs I think Cliff really listens to the Power Users
