Fractal Audio Systems mystery product speculation

[jellodog]

Thanks guys, I was joking, everything is (and was) under control.

Seriously though... I have indeed screwed up a preset from the front panel, and would love an undo button.

Of course, I do have backups to restore from; but in the classic TGF fashion:

Not Drew's wee-wee is too small.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if any other brand had dropped a major teaser about a new product,
and then went radio silent for 3 weeks, some of you all would be cussing them out left and right......

Didn’t drop on August , maybe September ?

Yes, but "major"? We literally don't even know what it is.

It's got firmware - check.
It's not replacing and current Fractal SKU - check.
It's... it's.....
Uhm.....

I share a lot on this forum and I’m not shy, prod cautiously!

OK, fair enough. There are FAS engineers (plural) working on it, so yeah.

(Still not as if anyone had been promised anything specific. I guess that's the difference between this and NDSP rage. Says the QC fanboi.)

I just keep thinking, "form factor".

PROD cautiously!

Intentional, or Freudian slip?

My prediction: It is a software product, that will communicate with present units. That is why the need of firmware and no waiting list.

Oh stop. It was a casual mention on a web forum, not a marketing stunt.

And it wasn't used in official kickstarter style funding campaigns to entice people to part with their money either.

So you weren't happy the first day you brought home your device?
It needed to be updated for you to be happy with it?

By the way....does one need to be unhappy in order to update?

I usually update because I want to see what Cliff's been working on.........

New updates are like rolling tubes. You like the amp the way you got it, but what does a Tung Sol in V1 sound like?

It suits my needs and does what I want it to!!!

But how long does it take to boot up?
