Fractal Audio Systems mystery product speculation

[Whizzinby]

Y'all in here with them dusty ass jokes.

I wonder what chips it has and what it means for the future. Like is it competing with stymon Mx and convolution reverbs? Or is Cliff a pure algo guy? Idk

Have to add the “idk” before someone tells me aktually.

I'll get in early on behalf of the critics just waiting to copy and paste their pre-prepared tirades ...... no XLR's ..... unforgivable in 2024 ..... unprofessional ...... its a hard pass from me ...... this will be the downfall of the Company ...... crazy expensive for what it is ..... what were they thinking .... how did this get green-lit ..... etc ..... etc ......

price point ..... US $699 or US$799

FM3 is $1,099

Where you figure they're saving the $300-$400?

- no grip handles
- no internal power supply
- no fan?????
- no side panels
- no big Knob but an extra footswitch
- how much less DSP and processing is really saved if it has full blown verbs?

??????

 

[FractalAudio]

But can it run a Dual Detune, Reverb, Delay and a Plex Delay simultaneously?

[Whizzinby]

yes

You da man Cliff!

 

[deadpool_25]

[BenIfin]

I’m envious of anyone who can make use of that combination of effects on a single guitar track and not have a wash of redundance smearing the musical content into a puddle of bleh. Not saying it can’t be done, I know it can. But not by me.

 

[Whizzinby]

yes

In a non-economy algo mode?

I’m starting to get greedy

If (?) its EFX only ..... its going to have to be a good deal less than the FM3 otherwise people will just by the FM3 (?)

Different use cases.

Also there may be some very significant differences in a few areas. We just don't know enough yet.

I can't wait to find out if this thing uses the grid.

I literally just used that stack on the last thing I recorded. But I’d never be as bold as to say anything I do offers much musical content to begin with
