The larger font size is great to have and much more visible, imo.

I think the old scribble strips look better, though.,,

Hey @Stone

 

[jellodog]

Now why would someone want to hack TimBuck's account? What would they gain from it?

 

[Mongillo19]

WAT!? I defended your honour for nothing!?

Atleast I'm honest in my faults

So you defended that??

Ahh, brother Ruprecht. His "get out of a wedding in 30 seconds" kit fits in a breast pocket. A master.

The standard doesn't have the larger scribble scripts nor the extra 11% processing power. Those would both be nice to have. I don't need either. Heck, I don't even need an FM9 at all. I have an Axe-FX III and FC6 rig as well. I just like nice things.

I was wondering if the Turbo had something I wasn't aware of.

More processing power is always good even if it's by a relatively small amount, and for anyone who had trouble reading the scribble scripts in the OG I can see how larger ones would be better.

I wouldn't personally go through the hassle of selling my OG FM9, possibly taking a loss on it, getting on the waitlist, and buying the Turbo just to get those two changes but I can see how someone might value them more than I do.

I upgraded from the Ultra to the II and then from the II to the III then added a FM9. I'd consider buying a future model if it had something I really wanted that wasn't available on what I currently have but for me it seems like more hassle than it's worth for an incremental improvement on current features.

Seems like the current meta is there’s no stock, so people are offloading their Fm9s at a higher price than normal and then going to rebuy the Fm9Turbo2 (TB2 )?

 

[Stratzrus]

We always want more, regardless whether we need it.

Ummmm....no.

They should call these MK2's "FM9: Seniors Vision Version"

I mean, if people wanna go through the resell-wait-rebuy cycle to get a MKII, cool. There's nothing bad about more processing power and bigger strips. I wouldn't say no to either.

I'm just not pursuing them. The game changer for me would be finding a way to get the III's processing power on the floor. That's worth whatever price and however long a wait that'll be.

I'm telling you; being able to read a display is surprisingly useful

I program my switches to do the same thing from preset to preset so I just know my methodology.

It would take a lot of chutzpah to call it a MkII if the only thing that changed was the size of the scribble strips! Then again, as Cliff has said elsewhere, he does what he wants ;~)) And he has every right to do so, the company would not be what it is (or even exist) without his genius!!

EDIT: Now that I think about it, the MkII FC12 had nothing other than large scribble strips compared to the OG (AFIK), so maybe this update is worthy of a new name

Oooh I don’t know……you better hold off……

If you have enlarged scribble strips. Get checked.

 

[holoholo]

Do the product details matter when he’ll never buy it anyway?

The game changer for me would be if the new FM9 had relays like the FX8 that could change channels on channel switching heads that don't have MIDI.

I'd find that really useful and would definitely buy one.
