Fractal Audio Systems mystery product speculation

[Achilles]

You must be a limber guy. Because you like to make big stretches.

Dude, what has been at the center of all of this banter the past 3 weeks?

You think that Fractal doesn't know this is where all their biggest fans (and word of mouth) hang out?
There is no such thing as a casual post when it comes to a brand posting about an upcoming new SKU.

place was dead early this morning so I figured what better way to get the board's juices flowing!

This place is too small to have a big impact on ramping up interest. As opposed to Neural's "SOON" bullshit with their carefully marketed pics slowly revealing another mediocre plugin, spread all over social media.

This place is too small.......

You should give Drew more credit....

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......

Nah… just qc who what years later hasn’t added what was promised at launch

No, I said this place is too small. Not Drew's wee-wee is too small.

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:

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.....

But is it?

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".

 

[Achilles]

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.
