Fractal Audio Systems mystery product speculation

[ucnick]

Adding MIDI clock should be easy. The VP-4 code was frozen before it was implemented in the Axe-Fx III and the FM-3/9. The only development allowed after code is frozen is bug fixing.

The VP-4 uses the Axe-Fx III DSP's little brother. It's a single core version with the same instruction set so porting stuff from the Axe-Fx III is almost trivial.

We're already talking about adding a Looper and an IR player block.

The product focus was on three things: quality, simplicity and flexibility.

Re. quality. It uses premium analog components and converters. The input stage is FET and the op-amps are all "iPolar". None of this cheap CMOS stuff that other products are using.

No product will ever satisfy everyone. If low price is your primary concern then the product is not for you. If having lots of simultaneous effects is your primary concern the product is not for you. If having up to four, high-quality effects from the Axe-Fx III in a small, pedal board-friendly format is what you want then this product is a compelling choice.

Did you mean "bipolar" op amps? Not criticizing, just curious...

Praying to Jobu for an IR block down the road. Doesn't need any bells and whistles

I loved that movie!

So... since the product is out, and the speculation ended, time to close the thread? Asking for a friend...

As I said, not a word about sending CC commands... :)

Not a word, a symbol... Clearly doesn't send CCs.

7 if they allow two adjacent switches at once (I think they could?).
They could sell a shoe addon for people with narrow feet

10 if you are Bigfoot or turn your feet (+2x 3 at once + 1x 4 at once)

Could, would, might.
Future is uncertain.

@the swede That's a lovely day. Your weather's a lot better than ours. We had a nice sunny day yesterday but it's very grey and wet in N Ireland today.

I also cleared out Fergus' tray this week. Not that I was shamed into it or anything

I still haven't cleaned my desk though.

Looks like it's feeding time

If something is not for me I don't make a sign and roll on down to the corner and start trying
to spread the word. Ok, maybe just that one time. But I learned my lesson from that experience. I swear.

I especially don't go into someone's backyard who is building and making the "not for me" thingies,
and tell him or her what it is about them I don't like, or how let down I am, or Wah, Wah, Wah, and
Blah, Blah, Blah that this or that is not up to my overly exceptional standards.

Manners are manners. Unless you don't have them, then you are just a douche used to literally douche an
actual douche.

If they repeat their grievance 3 times, it may appear like Beetlejuice

Do your wife talk to animals with a special voice? Mine does… it’s insane. She thinks there’s a special female voice tone that all animals recognize. Something about how woman in the past called on kettle and stuff. There a special kind of, kinda half singing language… hilarious.

No, that'd be my 6 year old. For some reason the cows and the sheep come running over as soon as he appears and starts talking to them.

Was one degree from freezing here when I woke up, I hate this cold shit.

Good thing I'm going to Thailand next Saturday!

Mine does with our cats... but I think she could do it with bats as well since they're almost ultrasonic sounds. I might get tinnitus soon because of it

 

[the swede]

Here we go… could be my wife… this girl looks prettier though

It helps if the girl is pretty…. Because I can’t stand when she starts talking with animals in that way

Stupidly read the comments under the Steve Sterlacci video. Some ludicrous and idiot complaints in there but this is my favourite so far.

What does that even mean? Most Hotone stuff has amps in it.
