Fractal Audio Systems mystery product speculation

[unix-guy]

IMO there's lots of space wasted on the FM3. Unless they really needed that space for the circuitry, I fail to see why it has to be that bulky (or not have, say, 2-3 more switches, which would fit easily.
As far as the integrated PSU goes, in general I'm all for it, but on a larger pedalboard it's sometimes turning into a disadvantage as you may have a powerful multiout PSU already, good enough to drive some more demanding units as well. Wouldn't work with the FM3, so you'd always have to deal with an additional full size power connection.

It's required for heat dissipation...

Time for a CPU upgrade then.

Huh?

 

[Sascha Franck]

Huh?

The heat is caused by the CPU. Modern ARM-CPUs create *way* less heat.

Also, the post from Andy doesn't say "Fractal"... It's speculation on speculation

Per Leons response to Andy's post on FB, he is in on this new thing too, so I'd say he 100% means Fractal... :)

Never was... Software doesn't need firmware.

Ahhh but what if the hardware needs to communicate with the new software?

Based on what? Many things have presets that have none of those things...

Well, he either uses amps or the AxeIII so..........

ASSUMING a Fractal preset, what's the bare minimum a device would need?

I’m on my man-cold round 2 (was well for a few days then it started over) so I now sound exactly like Corgan when i talk. Can’t stand myself

Get better so you don't have to endure that hell!

Corgan or Kurgan?

Dang didn't realize th FM3 was that big

Me looking in the mirror.

So my guess is next week possibly
I think they are close

Seriously, those guys were huge. Way bigger than Clancy Brown, who ain't no shrimp.

Back in 1995, I visited St Petersburg Russia and toured the Hermitage. In the basement (it's one heck a huge basement!) there is a museum and in one room they have an exhumed Kurgan and a bunch of artifacts and info on them, all in Russian but my Russian (then) fiancee translated for me.
That guy was at least 8 feet tall and very large around, he was apparently a warrior and was alive 15 or 20000 years old and the embalming had been done so well that he was still pretty much intact.

I would not have ever wanted to run into one of them in a dark alley as was portrayed in Highlander.

"Soon", huh?

Will fractal buck the “lunchbox modeler” trend? or toe the line… more at 7
