Fractal Audio Systems mystery product speculation

[norminal]

I will say that they didn’t ignore me on this one. Glad to see it’s being used:

I'd be interested in seeing that!!

I’ll have to see if I can dig it up.

If it’s so easy why doesn’t cliff do it?

Designing a GUI requires a highly unique set of skills - it's not in any way easy, unless you have those skills.

The point is that people who do use to be a bit more rare and accordingly, very expensive!
These days they're a dime a dozen if you look in the right places.

I assume Fractal already has some sort of flow chart showing the entirety of the AXE III OS with the variables mapped.

Give that to someone along with basic graphics choices and let them rip on some virtual story-board presentations.
Once you nail a general direction the rest of the job becomes a whole shit ton of redundancy from a programmers
standpoint.

I only think a “beginner” (easy ui mode) mode on fractals is validated if they were sold in stores. Period.
On the other hand. You can’t sell those in “normal” stores.

Graphic designer here.

I actually come up with a really slick UI for the Fractal line not long after the Axe-FX III was released. It’s all laid out, complete with renderings. I know I offered them some assistance but was ignored.

R u serious? Wow

Is the large round value knob also a push button?

The large round value knob is a push button on the Axe-FX III.

I can see the whole vcr type button layout look on the fm as someone else noted

This Unconventional Guitar Amp Was Used on Several Famous Albums (and It's Possibly the First Modeler Ever Made)

Maybe it’s a fractal rock man

And the FM9... Not on FM3

This is quite cool.

What a great idea!! https://thegearforum.com/threads/not-worth-its-own-thread.4375/post-246404

@laxu, you don’t have to make alt accounts here.

Funnily enough, I think we're both from the Nordics

Thank you for the correction. Never tried an FM9.

I’ve been saying this for over a decade, but I think a simple toggle to hide ALL deep parameters from the front panel would appease to those who wish to interact with a model as if it were the real thing.

But the presence of additional parameters isn’t really the problem to begin with.
