Fractal Audio Systems mystery product speculation

[Sascha Franck]

3.5ms is what's shown in the buffer setting or you actually measured it?

Measured. Of course.

but with my 13th gen I7 no way I could run two instances of NAM plus a convolution reverb at less than 1ms, as the NAM player does.

But we weren't talking about the NAM player (which is a most excellent thing from technical POV).
FAS devices and most other modelers are in the ballpark of 2-3ms. You can easily get that low with some interfaces, at 96kHz you could even get below 2ms pretty easily (of course that'll cause a big CPU hit).

So, an ARM in this case might be an "upgrade" regarding heat but a definite downgrade in processing power.

I can't wait for this product to release for many reasons

I am afraid it will make things even worse

Heard over at TOP:

"Rumor is that Fractal seems to explore the same one amp in a pedal concept as well." (as UA)

So I guess it is the much anticipated Blues Jr in a box, finally!

I hope it's not something like that personally. Not that it wouldn't be good, it's just a harder sell because it needs to be priced high enough for a good profit, but that would mean a very trimmed down offering. It's in that middle land of "well if I payed a little more I could get all of this over here..." And conversely, "if I pay a little less, I can get all of this over here..."

Nah, I don't think Cliff would go that route.

 

[JiveTurkey]

ALLLLLLL these discussions are sooooo goddamn goldilocks it's not even funny.

Did you make that rumor up?!

Nah... here's hope for this:

It better be accurate.

Had one. And liked it...

Nope, quoted some guy from over there.

Nah... here's hope for this:

I hear there's a half dozen versions of this classic.

I still have what is sorta the german equivalent:

Playing through it is downright horrible, but mic'ed up there's some almost gloriuos sounds to be had. One of the things I'd consider being "capture-worthy".

If I pay a LOT more, I’ll actually have a functioning rig with fairly limited capabilities that still isn’t a tube amp

Using something "ugly" to make "beauty" is an art in itself.

[unix-guy]

Oh come on! You’re a beta tester and I’m betting you’ve had one of these, whatever this is!

I'm an FM9 beta tester only... Would be interesting to be involved, though.

 

[DLC86]

We were talking about the FM3.

I might have missed that part, I thought we were talking about running the same software on a dsp or on a consumer cpu
