Fractal Audio Systems mystery product speculation

[deadpool_25]

I will tell you this, the guys I know that had the FX8 will NEVER buy another FX only unit from Fractal.

I had one and might be interested in the new one.

Thank you

I was unsure up to this point

Slow day..... shoot me!

Gracias.

If it’s an FX4, I will buy it in a split second. No hesitation, no questions asked.

Kinda, maybe interested if it's an FX4. But it has to be priced right - and the HX Effects is doing well at the moment on my board. So maybe not. Waiting for the hig reveal

Yeah I know several people that gigged with them. Then again, they’re now FM9 users.

The HX Effects is very well designed. I just wish the delays and reverbs were up to Fractal quality.

I prefer HX delays, myself.

It would be an odd call for just an effects unit

And not just SPDIF output. Input also. Weird choice for an effects unit.

We don't start a wait list until a
product is announced and there's a good chance that we won't even do a
wait list at all.

Cliff also publicly stated that the FX8 didn't have much success so I doubt they'll release something similar

I think another reason why this is an effects only unit. Cliff may see an opportunity to add in an effects only unit but still doesn't see it selling like hot cakes therefore the team doesn't expect a wait-list

That actually gets me excited... if this has a nice touch screen and spdif in/out then it could be the desktop friendly Fractal version of a QC that I've always wanted. FM3 was pretty good / great but a touch screen would be cool for hands on tweaking, and adding spdif IN would reduce cables compared to the FM3 that only has spdif OUT.

Not a huge delay/reverb guy but they work fine for me. Especially the delays. The HX has some really cool delays. imo

So you can turn your FX4 into an FX12 and stay in the digital domain the whole time.

They're fine. It's night and day going to fractal effects though.

There’s no way in hell this thing has a touchscreen. But…

I pray to Jobu it will happen, just to see the “Touchscreens are overrated” crowd flip like a switch.
