The pastry chef carefully piped the rich, velvety cream into the small, hollow pastry shell, filling every nook and cranny until it brimmed with the smooth, whipped delight. As the cream settled into the cavity, it gave the pastry a deliciously soft and decadent texture, ready to be savored. The combination of the crispy outer layer and the creamy center created a perfect balance, tempting everyone for a bite.
Damn that sounds delicious.

I’m not holding fractal to ransom or anything, they’ll announce whatever it is when they’re ready. I’m just genuinely surprised cliff said something if it was this far out from announcement (no big deal just surprised).

Still crickets from baby quad cortex as well, the way it goes I guess
 
I expect we'll probably get some hints, at least, at the end of the month.

The more spaced out these purchases are the more I can cope with it 🤣. QC is a bit of a sting at full rrp so if the new one does a lot of the original at a cheaper price that’ll be awesome.

Also Itching for an axe3 but waiting to see what the new boy is, no rush really.

Fractal Audio Systems is renowned for its top-tier digital modeling amplifiers and effects processors, such as the Axe-Fx series. Based on their product trajectory and innovations, we can speculate that their next release could focus on one of these areas:

1. Axe-Fx IV or Enhanced Flagship Model

  • Improvements in DSP Power: They might release a fourth-generation Axe-Fx with even more advanced DSP capabilities, allowing for more simultaneous effects, better processing speed, or more accurate modeling.
  • User Interface Upgrades: They could focus on making the interface more intuitive, perhaps adding a touchscreen or other improvements to the user experience.

2. Compact or Floor-Based Multi-Effects Processor

  • FM9 Follow-Up: Following the success of the FM9, Fractal could release a new floor-based model with more compact form factors but greater processing power and effects capacity.
  • Lighter, Portable Models: They might aim for a more portable, battery-powered version, catering to gigging musicians who need the power of Fractal’s technology on the go.

3. AI Integration for Tone Creation

  • AI-Powered Preset Generator: Fractal could dive into AI by introducing an AI-driven feature that automatically creates tones or effects chains based on user preferences or specific musical styles.

4. Improved Cab Sim Technology

  • Advanced Impulse Response (IR) Capabilities: They may introduce revolutionary cab simulation technology, enhancing the realism and flexibility of their impulse responses, possibly adding dynamic microphone placement or room acoustics simulation in real time.

5. Software Suite or Cloud Integration

  • Cloud-Based Tone Sharing: Another possible direction could be a more robust software suite or app that allows users to share presets and settings via the cloud, similar to what Line 6 and other companies have done.
Considering Fractal's dedication to innovation, any new product would likely push the boundaries of sound modeling, DSP performance, and ease of use for both professional and amateur musicians.

While Fractal Audio Systems is highly specialized in digital guitar effects and amp modeling, developing a waffle maker would be an interesting departure from their core expertise. Theoretically, they could produce a waffle maker, but it would require a completely different manufacturing process, supply chain, and design philosophy.

Here’s a humorous take on what a Fractal Audio Waffle Maker might look like:


  • Digital Controls & Presets: It could feature various "waffle tone" presets, like Crispy, Fluffy, or Belgian. Maybe even a "Vintage" setting for an old-school waffle feel!
  • Advanced Heat Modeling: Just as they model amplifiers, they could apply advanced heat distribution technology for perfectly even cooking.
  • Bluetooth/Wi-Fi Integration: You could connect the waffle maker to an app or your existing Fractal Audio products to control the exact crispiness, temperature, or even schedule your waffle cooking!
  • Customizable IRs (Impulse Responses): You could upload different cooking profiles based on waffle preferences. Want your waffle to taste like it was made in a wood-fired oven? There's an IR for that!
Of course, all of this would be a fun fantasy, but it's highly unlikely Fractal Audio would pivot to kitchen appliances anytime soon. Still, the blend of music tech with breakfast could make for a quirky crossover!

F4 Fractal Clip on Tuner that models the old school strobe tuner, the classic moving needle tuner,hey let’s not forget the 2 dots that light up green in the center when your in tune tuner and of course a poly type tuner. Also includes voice recognition software “Chucklehead” that critiques your playing. If you suffer from low self esteem you can purchase the VRS pack LT 100 that calls you Legend after every time you play.
 
What is this new QC everyone's talking about??????
My spidey senses tell me watch Guitar Summit at the end of month
Also maybe one reason why Cliff could hold back
If there is a few new products launching soon
LT mentioned in his live steam that there is some cool stuff coming on the channel and so did Guitar Jon , obviously they can’t
say but my guess is at or after that show
 
I just decoded the message about this new product. Here are the details.

Firmware was meant to be written/spelled Firm Wear. It is a wearable device for firmness. Unlike other similar products on the market, it not only enhances firmness, but it also has 69 different famous "sword" models including but not limited to, John the Wadd Holmes, Long Dong Silver (leather sheath not included), Ron Jeremy (with pre-fucktual legal arguments for your non-consensual usage of this product), James Marshall's Tendix and many more. It will provide the "champ in the roomp" feel and goes to 11 (though you will want the cool fans blowing if you are running it at this level)! It will be the first item from a musical gear manufacturer that wives and girlfriends can't wait to buy for their struggling musician partner!!! Turbo model will include the classic pootron filter and 11% longer fade outs.

You heard it hear first! Can't wait to see the jockeying on the wait list ;~))

Did you use the ChatGPT from Wish again?
