Fractal Audio Systems mystery product speculation

[ian_dissonance]

The funny thing is 80% of the people in this thread own FAS products, so you already own the hypothetical “XYZ killer”.

If Cliff wants to compete in the Micro Machine Pedal Board Arms RaceTM, cool. RIP the loss of income to the Sherpa community that has hauled y’all’s FM3’s around to gigs all these years.

My hope is it will be something pushing the platform in new and unique direction.

Me too, which is why a Dynacab load box sounds boring as fuck.

Will Milton Berle be in a future firmware update?

If the schematics can be found, then yes, it would likely be included in a Firm Wear update!

If people think a capture only unit doesn't fit NDSP audience, I can't imagine a loadbox fits fractals

You know they had a load box already and Cliff talked a while back about a new one with cabs built in, right?

@the swede took the 2k post so now Cliff won't reveal until 5000

Here is the name for the next generation of Fractal Audio Firmware:

Porphyrion​

That is how they have named the greatest plasma jet ejected by a Black Hole. 140 times the length of the Milky Way

Biggest black hole jets ever seen are as long as 140 Milky Ways

The largest-ever black hole jets ever seen hint that these cosmic monsters may play an even more significant role in shaping galaxies than previously thought.

Soon to be released

When you thought that you already knew all the epic names from the Greek mythology, here comes another one.

Sure, I'm not saying they shouldn't but imo it just wouldn't make sense. I think many on here would agree.

Regardless, the hype has been drummed up and many are thinking it has something to do with FAS modeling or effects. With NDSP launching their NC, many on here expect that Cliff has something up his sleeve (whether that's a good way to look at things is another topic) to match or "beat" the NC.

People are going to be let down if it's "just" a loadbox. Not saying that it should be that way, but with the timing of Cliff's statement on here coupled with the competitions new product....they are expecting a similar product

I don’t think anyone is thinking it’s going to be something like the NonCortex, just hoping for something cooler and more fun than a load box with proprietary IRs.

Fuck me if it’s a load box or another capture box. but they’re smarter than me.

I hope it’s not, because I have zero amps.

It’s 10pm in Chicago, has anyone heard from Cliff? Is my FM-Stomp ready?!

Fractal forum will be closed tomorrow. Isn't that one of the seven signs?

I just wish this device last less from the tease to the launching date than did the NC from the "SOON" thing to yesterday.

Did anybody took note about dates?

The thing is...there was never any marketing tease for the Fractal product. Just a mention from Cliff on the forum that set off the all the wild speculation. It's not the same thing.

For sure, we did this to ourselves.

Sounds like the new thing they’re working on is a new website

That would be quite amusing!

Yeah... that excuses everything, I guess.
